There's absolutely rakes of jocks down that way,just listen out for the people you can't understand and introduce yourself

No your not seen micheal owen just the other day ha ha yes haven,t met any either geordies sorry.But its still nice on the gold coast maybe go to the meet ups there might just be a couple there.

yeah there the ones who cant understand us neither lol but then again the ozzies seem to think were irish, scottish or even welsh ????

We have the same problem up here in Brizzy so don't think you're being picked on down there

lol glad to hear you maccems are getting as much stick as us geordies then lol how you finding things in brissie, how long you been here

I'm a Geordie in Brisbane, and we rent our house from good friends of ours (who we met here) and who live around the corner form us and are also Geordies.

lol lucky you we havent met another couple where we live just began wondering wether we were the only ones here? hubbie missing the pint and footy coversations down the local pub anyone up for a meet up?

Absolutely loving it here Been in Cleveland nigh on 18 months now and don't intend changing lifestyle in near future

glad your settled and enjoying it, hubbie has some ozzie friends living in cleveland weve only lived in the one area pac pines but dont plan on staying in this area long term

Can that only happen with other Geordies? Get down to Surfers for one of their meet ups or check out any of the others around the place

I've only met 1 or 2 other Geordies round here (bayside brisbane). I left Whitley Bay about 14 years ago and my accent had to change ..... no-one could understand a word I said!!

lol we left whitley bay 15 months ago cant see our accent changing i do have to interperate for my hubbie though hes full on geordie so not many can understand him lol sometimes thats a good thing.
kids accents have started changing especially the 13 year oil wouldnt guess where shes from

no didnt mean it to sound like that just wondered if there were any other geordies round this area, meet many from the south of england just not so many from the north?

That's strange. I'm from the South and what Brits I meet all come from the North
