    Geordie guy goes to the geordie doctor

    “I’ve a strange complaint doc, i think i’m turning into a coconut”

    Tumbleweed? Try it again with a geordie accent after a few beers

    And what’s the deal with Newcastle? It’s 1000 years old! Last time I checked, that isn’t new!

    (Cue bass solo)

    Because the result of urban regeneration is a homogeneous mass of unimaginitive flunk. Is one possibility.

  5. Dufftown Jim says:

    Oh ! have they got a bendy brig too ?

    We got Paw Broon they got Newky Broon.

    The similarity’s are there right enuff.

    Will Smith is a big fan of Newcastle after visiting the city during a recent tour promoting his recent film. He’s actually considering a remake set in the ‘toon.

    Why Aye Am Legend.

    Also works for Why Aye Robot … actually wasn’t even funny back then… shit.

    i’m awa down the grove… geordie racer… stottie cake.

    We had the Tuxedo Princess, they have the Tuxedo Princess …. worse luck!

    Young Geordie leaves home for the USA about the time of the Red Indian issues on the reservations.
    He wants adventure so he becomes an Indian scout for the Cavalry.
    One day out on the plain he see smoke signals and hears the drums.
    He heads back at full gallop and rushes to tell his Captain.
    “Captain” he says.
    “I think we are in trouble”
    The Captain replies (American accent) “Are they War Drums”. (Wor Drums)

    “No Captain” he replies in thick Geordie accent “They’re theirs”

    Newcastle were seperarted at birth. The decline of heavy industry. The passion for football (minus the sectarian stabbings). The riverside regeneration. The birds in tiny dresses when its freezing. Hard drinking. The quality nightlife.

    I reckon Scotland should go independent, then we invite the Geordies to join us.

    It’s easier to get yer hole in Newcastle though.

    why aye ya wee lad gannin doon the toon ya wee lad why aye ad nauseum

  14. Nick Taylor says:

    In the future that’s what everything will look like – at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.

    And there still won’t be jetpacks. So that’s another hope dashed.

  15. glezga says:

    sure Geordies are just Scotsmen wi there brains kicked oot!

  16. Vinnie says:

    I wonder if their bridge is falling to bits!

  17. gordon says:

    aye I was thinking that exact thing when I was in newcastle the other day. we were staying in a hotel just across the water from that silver sage building, just off the left of the photo there. I have to say though, and don’t feel good about it, but newcastle is more impressive than the wegie attempt.

  18. Belter says:

    Except their bridge actually fucking works.

  19. Tiffany says:

    Never mind that – you’re in the Sunday Mail today.

  20. JP says:

    Alright Limmy, Ted Danson my arse, how did ye come up with that one?

  21. Boaby says:

    Only difference being the one in Glasgow doesn’t let big boats underneath. So while Purcell and Co are at it they might as well lower or flatten the Kingston bridge – no more Tuxedo Princesses or big boats near the town centre.

  22. Chelsea Boy says:

    Was doon the toon last week, think they are doing it better than us…

  23. Chelsea Boy says:

    ‘cos oor bridge is fallen doon…

  24. lynn says:

    London bridge is falling down.

  25. Rico says:

    Ahhh the Toon – home sweet home. Nice of them to wait till I fucked off to spruce the spot up a bit.

    Trent House Northern Soul Bar – best boozer in the whole damn world.

    Drink beer. Be sincere.
