Maybe about a third of them were commonplace when I was a kid just over the border. Not the specific pit related terms but lots of the general ones. It’s all basically extremely old Anglo Saxon. The land between the Forth and the Tees was never significantly settled by the Norse or the Danes. The language very largely remained what came out of Middle English which itself developed from old English. The everyday language of the people of this area was until the mid 20th century pretty much un corrupted near Middle English…Dan Jackson again here….

Just looked for the Harry Enfield sketch of the two boring twats at the party saying “Soooo…. What are we driving at the moment??”… couldn’t find it but that’s this thread at the moment

According to Dan Jackson, author of this https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/dan-jackson/northumbrians/9781787381940?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18075688485&cq_con=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsZjMlMnQhQMVuKFQBh2hCQzkEAQYAiABEgLaAPD_BwE#GOR010288790 miners worked in pairs and your marra was literally your partner at the coal face, the person you paired up with to extract as many of the black diamonds as you could. So it’s definitely Pitmatic and that applies to the Northumberland coal field and East Durham

tbf the Dortmund buses were fuckin bombed by some terrorist whack jobs a few years back… their security risk assessments will be mental 😬

Yeah, seen it at least half a dozen times

That cunt Parish has got some fuckin cheek talking about supermarkets https://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/10594271.sainsburys-crystal-palace-to-shut-early-on-start-of-premier-league-football-season/

“Even a stopped clock” etc etc

I think it’s fuckin ace

🤯

So English teams won 2/3 last season . There were also two Italian teams in the CL semi finals. In 2019 two English teams got to the final. 2016 Real played Athletico. There are no discernible patterns and it’s indicative of the square root of fuck all

Who?…

PSG’s names on the cup… and on the brown envelopes being handed out to the refs

Make sure the MP knows about the poor fucker. And if you have any record of your contact with the authorities send it to him. I think MPs like kicking their local councils’ backsides. My brother and his ex wife were having terrible trouble with their neighbours’ exceedingly anti social behaviour. His ex missus was seen crying at the school gate by another mum who told her “don’t worry Karen, I’ll get my dad sort it out..” Dad turned out to be the Chancellor of the Exchequer Allister Darling MP for Edinburgh West and he did indeed contact Edinburgh City Council’s neighbourhood department who promptly gathered evidence and started sending strongly worded letters threatening civil action and potential police investigations if their cuntish behaviour continued. Brother was left with a very favourable impression of AD after a meeting to discuss this. A proper good cunt the likes of whom is sadly missed in today’s Labour ranks

Dortmund now 4-2 up 5-4 on aggregate

Athleti have scored again…I’m across both games… like some sort of dirty midweek soccer slut….DORTMUND SCORE AGAIN!

Barca centre back gets sent off when they’re 2 goals up in the tie. PSG now 4-5 up with 30 mins normal time still to play. I don’t think that pen we “conceded” in injury time in Paris can now be seen in isolation 😏

YES BARCA ! 😎

I think they’ll both go but aye Rashford starts because Rashford starts 😒 The one who’s under pressure to me is Maddison due to the emergence of Cole at Chelsea… mind there’s talk of UEFA allowing 26 man squads…

🤷🏻‍♂️
