Hi there,

we are currently looking at whatever route possible to get over to NS.

Are there any black and white ex-pats already out there??

I have already been in touch with a couple - you know who you are!!

Best regards,

erinbrooke.

I believe this thread might be of interest in a wa-ayy up the lads sort of way.

Thanks, AX, but erinbrooke is one of the Geordies I've been talking to via PM.

Novocastrian, Are we the only two, other than Charlie???

I'm lapsed. Anyway, I was born in Durham so I don't really count.

Novo, I'm not really sure that you are a Geordie. Admittably my memory is befuddled by the several pints of ale consumed when we met, but I can't recall any 'Wa'aay' moments and you never once referred to your trousers (or anyone else's trousers) as 'Kecks'.

AX,

I am DEFINATELY a Geordie - and I don't think i've ever called my trousers 'KECKS'.

And it's 'whey aye' BTW!!!

Perhaps this is a Mackem thing or something.

For a more accurate translation in future check out www.geordie.org.uk

Regards,

erinbrooke.

Forgive me, I'm just having a gentle pop at Novo. (Who I have met) not at Geordies in general.

Don't be daft man - no need to apologise.

AX, I've learned to camouflage my true origins when talking to suverners.

The dog's name's a bit of a giveaway though innit? A Londoner would call a black and white dog something quite different.

Come on then Novo, whats the dog called??

Yeabut, I've told him not to post on here. What would he be called if he were a Lahndener?

He's a Border Collie, so he's called "Geordie" of course.

Where I come from? Meat curry.

Ooooh! l'll tell Charlie you said that.

On edit: Charlie is dbd33's gay doggy, not whoever erinbrooke was referring to upthread.

Perhaps we should request a beam-up to the Maple Leaf for this thread?
