I really hope my wife doesn't see this post, she was born in Newcastle- so technically is a Geordie, although she lived in Northumberland. Suppose I'll become a geordie eventually as well, I'm trying to move to Newcastle too.
Glad you enjoyed it
Just for you Chris...

Hey Chris, I have to call you on a couple of things there..firstly its Geordie:P lol, and secondly..do you know how offensive it is to call someone from sunderland a geordie?? honestly, its like in football, calling a Liverpool fan a manchester united fan....Hey Joe, lets get the subtitles up in English and everyone can enjoy the laugh.... not just those of us who understand Jordie!!!

So what's the Sunderland accent called?

Jeez Chas, "where's tha bin, wart?"A sunderland accent!!
This is how I was greeted each day working in Sheffield by my workmate (a local Yorkshireman). My answer was always, "The bin's under my desk, where's yours?"
It's a wonder we English speakers can understand each other at all sometimes. We are people separated by a common language!

Forums are slow today, so this should at least provide some amusement-- my latest and LAST entry.
A couple of things before you watch it —
1)- Yes, that's me in the video (against my better judgement). I'm not even on Facebook, and there I am for all to see! But it's for a good cause-- spreading the word about TG!!
2)- No, I don’t normally talk like that in the voice over!
3)- I hope this makes up for me slagging your singing in my first entry, Neil.
Also, a HUGE thanks to my buddies Matt and Scott for their help with this vid.

Working now.
BTW, MJ- that beer in one of the shots is called ‘Moosehead’. It’s another one you should try! We downed quite a few of those while making this vid (as you can imagine)!!
