Getting a tasty ride in Newcastle tonight
By Paul Smith • Sep 26th, 2008 • Category: nightlife
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.

That sound like loads of fun.
I can’t believe I’m not in Newcastle tonight can’t think of anything better that a pot noodle and taxi ride round Newcastle when I’m drunk.
I’m just council enough for that to be the highlight of my night.
“just council enough” - LOL!!!! Brilliant one Phil
The idea of little tuk tuks is simply genius. Sadly, at 2am after a few travellers, it’s bound to smell more of Bacardi vomit than a tasty chicken and mushroom “flavour” Pot Noodle. (yep, as a veggie I’ve had a few of their soya/noodle concoctions!)
In the winter though…oh what I wouldn’t give for a handy tuk tuk, rather than scrambling to the arm of the most sturdy looking man I can find to assist me on sleet-laden hills down to the Quayside in my obligatory 5-inch heels. It’s almost as much fun trying to walk back up!
