Re: Any Geordies out there??
I happened to meet two other guys who live in Jackson who came here on K-1 vias (one 9 years ago, one 2 years ago), and another guy they know who was here on an F1 visa and got married. I don't know of any other brits who live in MS who use this forum though.

Nice to see so many people from the North East, I'm from Durham not exactly Newcastle but close enough.
I loved to shop in Newcastle, I miss Eldon Square, esp Fenwicks... and Mark Tony Ice cream from the Grainger market... ahhh memories.

I found myself missing Newcastle alot today. What I would have done to be able to have a look in Fenwicks food department and then get on the metro to go to South Shields.

Re: Any Geordies out there??
Hi there
I am originally from Whickham and moved to Portland Oregon 8 years ago. I have lost a lot of my Geordie accent (until I visit home of course and its right back!) but have managed to teach a select few people I work with some quality Geordie slang they can use

Geordie is a whole another language... even to some in the UK! I had to drop it too and slow down when I talk too.
