Or you could just use your outlook diary

Must be surely?

Which bit?

Is true, remember that from my time in Germany. But no, they are far from the smelliest. There is an old mill in Rochdale and in it they have a weird toilet thats just a hole in the floor with a place for your feet either side. I refuse to use it, but THAT is the smelliest toilet in the world!

Bollocks. Oh, and Bollocks.

Also Ragdoll, Geared, Papertoss & iPark.

Done. Doing the run myself for the Sunshine Fund. Full of cold at the min (thanks to my son!) so Im hoping it clears in time. Would have liked to have a couple of short 6mile runs this week but nowt so far. Good luck anyway. On the swim thing, the reason no one has done that is because swimming around the UK means swimming past places like Dunnet Head, Wick, Elgin etc. Id point out that they are near the fucking NORTH POLE and the water is practically THE ARCTIC!

What he done was nothing. That was the problem. Look after the youth side of things? What, without going to hardly any youth games? clever that. Plus we are led to believe signings were his responsibility. Especially the two last minute heaps of shite (Xisco etc)

RIP

Im actually taking part in the https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/...phic/index.html which, through DNA, should be able to say where you came from. Not so much as who your ancestors were, but where your particular (Y-Chromozone I think?) originated (South Africa for example). Anyway, The celts were from Europe and populated much of the UK. The Norse, as in Viking influence is strong around North yorkshire but not that much around here, only the odd place. After the Viking invasion, the north east remained under control of the Angles. Teeside etc and south of the area was Viking (Ormsby, Stokesby, Kirby etc are all viking names). Another thing to note are the use of the words "Burn" and "Beck". Burn is Anglo-Saxon and Beck is viking.

Early early days. Our squad is very thin with quality. Just wait until a few injuries start to really bite.

Pretty much agree with that. I think Ranger showed a mature performance, not sure what else we could have expected from him. smith was my motm, done what mattered.

Decent first though Cardiff getting stronger as the game went on. I reckon they will be a tougher proposition as this half starts. We look ok though not alot on goal. If we can fend off their confidence again then I can see this finishing as it is, which will be a good result. Few of us on yellows through for stupid things, mainly holding.

i cringe when i hear our lot sing that one. up there with "shit ground, shit fans" Your support is fucking shit usually follows 10mins silence by the same fans singing it. Bit like when away support sing to us where were you when you were shite like fuck me, have people not been watching whats been going on here?

Can you explain : * If he walked on the club how come he is seeking compensation? * Whatever way he left the club this time around, how that is bottling it? Sorry like, every time I hear someone call KK a bottler, I just think "sheep". Get your own opinion man, based on actual facts.

Aye sadly you're right. A mixture of people migration to our area and people changing how they talk for work etc has watered down our language and its slowly lost. Will be a huge shame imo and I know Ill encourange my kids to know both "languages". I talk different to work/customers than I do when Im at home / with mates etc.

Aye, Scotland is made up of a load of different ones. It was all tribes as you can imagine. but so was what we know as Northumberland now. Think of places like Yavering Bell (sp?) which is a hill near the Cheviots. That was a hill fort used by a local tribe. The North used to be under the Brigantes. By North I mean down to Merseyside taking in york and Humberside. The whole thing was Northumbria later on. Many people think we were largely over ran by vikings in the north east but thats not true. There was an influx but mainly in Yorkshire, though people call that north. You can tell by looking at place names. Angles were the largest influence in the north east. Also when you think of the Roman influence in the north east you have to realise that the Roman soldiers stationed here were not really Italian Romans, but soldiers recruited from other parts of Europe and some even just other parts of England. Some of these soldiers remained to live here when the romans left. Anyway, Angles and the Saxons were different (from a slightly different area) but their language was pretty much the same. the Saxons mainly were in the south and Angles in the North. Ashington was from something to do with Ash Tree's in a Dene.

Cheers, Ill maybe pick a couple of those up. In return, Id recommend : Northern Roots

So, we're essentially using the original language? Its every other fucker thats got it wrong Tbf, we know the english language (and people) are a vast mix of all sorts of influence. I started this due to a discussion I had with a Scottish bloke on holiday where he was saying Scots was a language and Geordie was a dialect. I was saying they were both from the same source and therefore the same either both a language or both a dialect, not one the other. It is a topic Im interested in like. Not just the language, but the history of the north east (including our relationship with them down the road).

Well not quite. Gan, for example, is taken from the Anglo-Saxon word "Gangan" meaning "go". So when we say we gan somewhere, its not slang for go, it actually meant go just we still use the older word? Wife from the word "Wif" or "Wiif" (Dutch). Marra, incidently came from the pitts as another example of sources. So, its not really how we pronounce everyday words now, they are largely from our past and stil used today.

Since when is it your country? Fuck off back to Narnia! You think calling someone a retard is the same as calling someone a darkie? You fucking spastic. Which one do you think is worse?

See now I disagree. I know that Geordie is classed as a local dialect, however, the words that set us apart from others are actually words largely taken from Anglo-Saxon origin with some norman / scandanavian influence. What I mean is, we have continued to use older words (or based on older words that have evolved somewhat over time) rather than replace them. Now Scots, as I reckon you know, is actually taken from the same base as ours (go back to knowing that Edinburgh was once in Northumberland or that the North East was once part of Scotland, the origins of our language is the same - low land Scots as you say, not the highlands / west). So, whatever one is, the other should really be? I agree with you that both are really the same, but while you say diallect, I think language. Many people see the north east language as "slang". Saying that we are not speaking properly if we say "Toon, Larn, Wife, Lass" or such, while in fact, we are speaking exactly right, just an older form of language? Not saying Im right like, but I reckon I have a fair arguement Oh, and one for Stevie, did you know we used to speak Welsh?

So, do you consider "Geordie" as in spoken word, a dialect, slang, or a language? At the same time, do you consider Scots a dialect or a language? Discuss

Gone

Aye. Been on holiday and kept checking my phone and this damn thread.
