Hiya Emzi. Just to clarify, The Gate is a complex (oooooohhh, Newcastle does posh...) with a number of establiments inside. I haven't manged to find out where he's gonna end up, but will do me best to be there for 7 when he arrives, a la blonde wig, big-curl-brush and a tin and a half of Insette.....

At least Newcastle people know what life is! Getting out and about, having a social life, not sitting knitting cardigans for winter time!

Geordie lasses wouldn't know what to do with a cardigan anyway.
They don't believe in wearing much more than topless tops and bottomless bottoms regardless of the season

I wish I shared their courage in midwinter but I'm far too nesh.

Remember, if he calls you a slag, it's an affectionate term.

That was fun!

His initial appearance was in the open area of The Gate on a stage situated near the main doors (coincidental? ). After a ten minute warm up from the local breakfast show DJ, Fed made his way to the stage amidst cheers and, to a much lesser extent, the expected pantomime boos. Earlier reports suggested that he was to kiss a hundred Geordie lasses, but this was now trimmed down to 50.

His '9 out of 10' comments were questioned by the compere. Unfortunately, the PA system was not up to much and it was difficult to hear his response. The only words distinguishable were 'didn't mean it', 'Catherine Cookson' and 'Cheryl Tweedy'!

If there is such a thing as karma, then it was about to happen. In keeping with his promise, he obliged the ladies of Newcastle with a kiss, rewarding their orderly queueing at the side of the stage. There was a definite cringe-factor about the whole thing - the lad looked a bit lost.

As tedium was about to prevail, fate intervened. A group of lads on a stag night wandered in. Amongst the sea of bad suits and 70's style Kevin Keegan wigs, was the groom - dressed as a fairy, complete with tiara and a sign around his neck saying 'Shit. Wrong Party." Within minutes, and to the delight of the crowd, he was up on stage with Fed. A kiss was exchanged and photo oportunites siezed.

The queue-to-kiss theme continued, the only other event during this being a full on snog with one of the girls.

Afterwards, he made his way to one of the many bars he was to patronize. Most of his stage appearance was filmed, and the cameras followed him through to the bar. Once the 10-15 minutes of filming there was done he appeared more relaxed - talking to people, having photo taken etc. He left shortly afterwards, presumably to the next bar.


The story will almost certainly be run in both The Journal and The Chronicle. I'm happy to scan the article/pics if anybody is interested - lemme know.

Fed's apology to North girls
The Journal

http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/ic...C328EC0000.jpg

Big Brother bounder Federico braved the wrath of North-East women last night to apologise for insulting them on the Channel Four reality TV show.

The Glaswegian upset the North-East's female population when he said that nine out of 10 women in Newcastle were "slappers".

But last night he tried to kiss and make up by appearing at the city's Gate entertainment complex to offer an apology.

Appearing to a mixture of cheers and boos, he said: "What I said wasn't true. Geordie women aren't slappers - they inspire me."

The Big Brother loser cemented his apology by offering to kiss all of the women present.

But he got more than he bargained for when groom-to-be Neil Holborn, who was on his stag night dressed as a woman, got on stage to claim his kiss as well.

The Scot also attempted to make up with a hen party led by Tracey Dixon, from Fenham, in Newcastle.

She said: "We're all huge Big Brother fans so we were devastated by what he said. If he's said sorry I'll forgive him but he should know that we're not like he said."

But her friend Paula Cruse, from Denton Burn, was less forgiving.

She said: "I still think he's a rat. He just seems false and he hasn't done enough to make up for what he said'

Fed makes amends for slur on wor lasses
By The Evening Chronicle


Bad boy Big Brother evictee Federico Martoni last night issued a grovelling apology to the Geordie women he insulted during his stay in the house.

Fed, 23, came face to face with the girls of Newcastle at The Gate leisure complex in Newgate Street.

Fed told the Chronicle he was only joking when he said nine out of 10 Geordie women were "slags" in front of millions of TV viewers. He was so desperate to make amends for his outburst that he kissed the first 100 girls through The Gate's doors.

During his appearance, Fed was joined on stage by Neil Holborn, dressed as a bride on his stag night.

Those who turned up to see Fed were in a forgiving mood and took the Glaswegian to their hearts.

Chloe Pearson, 19, of Walker, said: "I love Big Brother but I was shocked when Fed said that about Geordie women. But he seemed OK and said he was sorry, which is good enough for me."

An apologetic Fed said: "I just said it because I was bored, stuck in the house and was trying to entertain myself.
