where i am come from

two of my friends write very good blogs, they are fantastic writers and these are 2 blogs well worth reading

sam has been mentioned on here before. his blog is here...

 chris's blog is here.... http://mrminnellium.wordpress.com

well they have both recently wrote blogs about the area we are from (middlesbrough) and how it seems to be looking at the parmo (local delicacy/slab of calories, tastes dead nice) as a symbol of the area. 

they both put forward some very interesting ideas and reasons for this. obviously i have a better idea though. 

we need a symbol of our local identity. something that encapsulates our history, our minor celebrities and our parmo.

he's called bort the boro tiger

he's a bengal tiger with the body of the middlesbrough transporter bridge, the head of local singing sensation amelia lily and he has a hat made from a parmo 

all hail bort
