Suspected Geordie aboard

Post by KillerB »

There's a new guy signed up, his name is Simon Lisle and there are a few clues to the fact that he may well be a Geordie. I'll let him confirm.

Welcome aboard Simon, enjoy the forum and have fun.

A very warm welcome Simon,

I was toying with the idea of breaking my silence at another place to make sure you knew this site existed..

It's Geordie, not Georgie..

- Someone who hails from the industrial heartland of England's north-east, which can boast the most distinctive local dialect in the land..

Runner-up in that contest are the Scousers (from Liverpool)

Those two communities have a big difference though..

When adversity falls on the Geordies, they fall back on their wits and find a solution - the Scousers on the other hand are natural victims, and delight in self pity..

The Scousers have better comedians though...

Tom :D

Some more observations on the relative merits of Georgies v Scoucers

Georgies:
  • wear less clothes on a night out than any other race
  • have an un-dying belief that they have a potentially successful football team
  • are Scotsman who were afraid to jump over the wall
Scoucers:
  • all have large bushy moustaches
  • were consistently successful at football when 7 of their team of 11 were Scottish
  • now mostly live in St Helens :lol:

If your stereo-typing, at least use the 's' rather than 'c' in Scouser!

Alan,

I thought Scoucer would go better with Georgie :lol:

...and, now you come to mention it, when you and Jdaw were together I thought I could see a resemblance :shock:

Correct apostrophes. Correct number of dots in the ellipsis. Oh no, you’re giving the game away. People might guess. (Though omitting the space after the ellipsis (which should have been a single character (“…†)) was a good diversion tactic.)
