Delete this fuckin post Peter please oh dear. What an attention seeking wank. I tell you what there were people in far worse states than me, I had a drink in the house before the game was on hols from work, and got shitfaced afterwards, it was the most pissed I've ever seen toon fans at home for years. Friday night football, I'm all for it ;) How long is it since you can honestly look in the mirror and say I really enjoyed last night at St James' Park. Too fuckin long.

See now you could just let the post sink away. Unless people keep posting in it of course...

Well it would've sunk further if you hadn't have drawn attention to the fact I could do that.

I'll have a go Stevie.

 

Did you know that the world's first dog show was held in Newcastle in 1859?

 

He asked for an interesting fact.

 

Okay then, dog hater..

 

Geordies are so called because the city was the only one in the North East that supported George I and closed its gates to the Jacobite army.

Am I the only one who feels a sense of pride in those records? I really don't know that I should, as the NHS is all 'for the greater good' and all that, and other centres around UK must have their own great achievements.

 

Anyone else, or am I just being daft?

There is a river running under Grey St. and Dean St. called the Lort Burn. This is Old English for "Shit Burn".

A bridge which crossed the burn still exists under Grey St. As it was simply incorporated when the burn was culverted.

It is where High Bridge crosses Grey St. hence the name.

I've a photo of it somewhere. Will see if I can dig it out later.

The Scottish language is born out of Northumbrian largely, not the other way around.

 

I've had this with you before...its not ;)

 

They are both (that is the Geordie and the Lowlands Scots dialects, because thats what they are,dialects) from the Anglian root of what is now called called Old English.

 

The oldest existing poem in Old English is by a bard called Aneirin, where he describes a raid form old Northumbria down to Catterick. You can see what remains of it it in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, where it was written 1400 years ago.
