Newcastle Unis Northumbria and Newcastle Universities have a long and storied history of competition but it all boils down to one thing. One's a propagator of booze-soaked social outings and a lack of studying in favour of one more tumbler of skittles in Basement. The other's.... exactly the same, but with a pool table in the Student's Union.

4. Get Carter/Goal/Byker Grove/Purely Belter

BBCBBCNeed we say more? Okay the last one really isn't as good as the other two, and Goal wasn't ever going to win any Oscars, but it's still awesome just for that Brian Johnson cameo and seeing our beloved city on the big screen again.

TumblrTumblrSo. Many. Ill Thought-Out. Pulls. Either gather up your heels/glowstick-stained pants and travel back in style, or grab a taxi and tell NO ONE. (Spoilers: That one friend you did tell will tell everyone anyway. They probably already have).
