Getting a tasty ride in Newcastle tonight
Damn Newcastle and it’s robust geography. Curse those hills you’re forced to stagger up, in the dark and full of booze. There’s been many a victim of stumbles and broken heels on these streets. Traversing this town would surely test the will of Bonnington.
So in a bid to bring aid to the weary revellers of Tyneside / a reasonably fun bit of PR for a change, Pot Noodle will be on the streets of Newcastle tonight, transporting folk around the town on their liveried tuk tuk.
A what what? You know. Bond. Octopussy. Three wheeled trolley-car-thing.
You hop on board the tuk tuk, get stuck into a Pot Noodle like the refined middle class citizen you are, while the chauffeur whisks you away to your next port of call.
Sounds fun? It probably will be, although it’s unlikely Lucy Pinder will be on hand to snuggle into you, dammit. If you fancy a spin, get yourself along to Sam Jack’s at The Gate tonight from 9pm.

Newcastle has never been about club culture or partying; this is a city that thrives on drinking.
