A 17-year-old boy has died after getting into difficulty in the water at the mouth of the River Wear, Sunderland, Northumbria Police said. A search and rescue operation was launched at 3.20pm on Tuesday after the boy was spotted in the water close to the Old Pier at Sunderland Yacht Club. He was rescued by the RNLI at 5.10pm, but died in hospital. Northumbria Police said the teenager is thought to have got out of a dinghy to swim in the river. Another 17-year-old boy was rescued from the water, along with two 17-year-old girls who were in the dinghy. The other three teenagers are in a stable condition, Northumbria Police said.
i was down the beach yesterday with my dog, but I was at the Cat and Dog Steps about half a mile from where this happened..
It was a bit choppy, but nothing out of the ordinary. I would have certainly been in for a swim with the dog if I had someone to watch over my bag..
I can't remember who it was I was talking about Eastbound and Down with was it @Home_and_Away? Whoever it was, I've been watching Vice Principals which is the new show from the Eastbound crew and it's brilliant.
Every single night at midnight the forum goes from heavy traffic to a ghost town, except from the night owls who tweet on all night.
I've blanked the estate agent all day because I have been stuck into this. Wasn't worth it in the end
Theres gonna be one seriously pissed of drug supplier somewhere. Workers at a Coca-Cola factory found a huge stash of cocaine inside a shipment of fruit juice in southern France.

"You can well imagine the surprise," said a spokesman for Coca-Cola. The Coca-Cola factory in Signes, southern France The staff unearthed the haul when they opened a delivery of fruit juice concentrate from Costa Rica last Friday. They immediately alerted police and were ruled out as potential suspects. An investigation into trafficking and importing of illegal drugs has been launched by the Marseille prosecutor's office. The factory, situated in the town of Signes, near the Mediterranean, produces concentrates for various drinks
It's always glorified by the press, street value means nowt at that stage of the chain. It's about £200k worth of product tops, and that's a drop in the ocean to the producers.
I once tried some that was as near to pure as you're likely to get in this country, it was £90 a gram, it was absolutely incredible. About two slugs lasted me all night, and I never had even the tiniest come down. Seems a long time ago now, my young, free and careless days, single man doing what the **** I wanted. I wish I could have all the money back I spent on drugs and girls I'd be able to retire now
