Seeing as Joe McElderry is such a legend, and such a gentleman, he's made me want to visit South Shields!

We might not want you here.

Stop off on Ocean Road for a curry. I can recommend.

Also, queue up for Colman's award-winning fish and chips. Take a sandwich you will be there ages.

Have a walk along the seafront. Catherine Cookson's money keeps it well maintained.

Few bars, clubs and the usual drinking holes.

Shops on King Street same as any small town.

There is a plaque showing the home of Catherine Cookson. South Tyneside Council may just erect one on Joe's front door.

South Shields might never be the same after Joe wins the X Factor.

I can assure you I'll show you how to party

It won't be the same, because there will be a statue of him erected because he deserves it

Bit brain dead I have only just realised that Joe is from South Shields as CC keeps calling him a fellow Geordie - surely he is not a Geordie but a Sand Dancer is this not the case

Yes! He's definitely a legend like John Lennon or Brian Wilson.

Joking aside, why do you need to go all the way to Newcastle? There are plenty of heroin dealers in London.

I though I heard he was from the Harton/Harton Nook area. You can see it in the Great North Run, Its the long row of shops on the left hand side before they run down the bank to the seafront

Joe is going to be bigger than John Lennon or Brian Wilson (Who's he?).
