    Amya Marty... My Grandad and one of my best post school mates where Geordies. Whilst Geordies actually speak english, instead of the you brummies making words up of your own (greeting Amya - retort Ar, best mate in Glasgow was a brummie and a complete pissead... boing boing baggies fan no less), the language barrier breaks down even further in relation to the amount of beer also being consumed... I consider myself fully fluent in both sober, pissed and utterly shitfaced Geordie, Brummie and Scots... Moi, je suis le Scouser... I'm sure he'll love it here, lovely breed of human the Geordie and I look forward to hearing about his first city night out when it's 4am and he's trying to order a pint and noone can understand a feckin word he's sayin...
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!

    Hope you told them to look out for that bad bastard on the Aprilia in Titahi Bay
    Porirua is an awesome city (but I grew up in Hastings) and like anywhere else you do the best to rent or buy where you can afford.

    That's the one. So mean he can ride an old mans bike. So bad that George Thoroughgood (sp?) was inspired.
