I try to promote the Mother country every chance I can get. No, not England, but the fine people’s Republic of Geordieland.
Enter stage left…t-shirts. Particularly this one.

Geordies on the Telly - We're Aal Ower the Place! · Jun 25, 08:29 PM
One of my favourite channels on TV is the military channel. I’m a big aficianado of world war 2 stuff, so I get my fix watching the military channel. The show that I’m watching tonight is ‘Delta Company: Push to Baghdad. A camera crew follows the 1st Tank Battalion on its missions.
During the show, they were waiting to be relieved by ‘the Brits’, and who should they interview? A Geordie. The conversation with the American commander went like this:
- American: Where you from?
- Geordie: Newcastle!
- American: Aah, the good beer
- Geordie: Aye, Newcastle Broon, a bottle o’ dog….I’m a Geordie!
It’s interesting to me that us Geordies are so patriotic – not to England or the Queen – but to Geordieland. I don’t know another place like it in the world (possibly the Basque region in Spain). You may take the Geordie out of Newcastle, but you can’t take the Newcastle out of the Geordie.
A heartfelt thanks to troops protecting our freedom – no matter where you’re from.

Geordie Gas Prices · Apr 28, 08:57 PM
So I recently came across a blog post which uncovered the rising cost of gas prices in Nashville. ‘That’s nowt compared to back in Newcastle’ I thought to myself.
So upon thinking about the cost of gas prices here in the U.S, I thought I’d put together the equivalent cost of petrol in Newcastle:
- Regular: 10 Bottles of Newcastle Brown Ale
- Midgrade: 15 Pints of Geordie Homebrew Beer
- Premium: Wor lass bringing me a keg of Guinness and I forget it ever happened
So you see – gas prices in the U.S may be high, but they’re nothing compared to what some people in the world are paying. Next time you fork over all that money to fill up your car, just remember one thing – that could be beer you’re wasting!

Do Geordies Have Better Luck? · Mar 6, 08:52 PM
So the weather over the weekend was wonderful. It was around 70 degrees with a slight wind (beans not included). A perfect day to sit out on the back deck and finish up some work, right? Wrong.
Bear in mind that if the temperature exceeds 75 degrees in Geordieland, the place comes to a complete stand still under the sweltering temperatures. The weather forecasters bask in the glory and all is right with the world until normal service is resumed and it’s back to normal with ‘it’s cowld enough ootside to freeze yer nuts off’ weather. Thus, my making the most of the perfect temperature in Nashville before the unbearable summer and my Geordie skin melts.
I had just finished saving my document when I noticed some fresh bird poop a few feet away. “That couldn’t happen again” I thought to myself – and sure enough, like a comet sailing down from the sky ready to unleash its impending doom, a big load of bird crap landed right on the keyboard of my MacBook Pro. I just stared in absolute shock – until I realised that the white and black goo that is bird poop, was making its way down into my keyboard. I rushed inside to clean up the mess and it was then that I thanked God. I thanked Him for letting that big pile of bird crap miss my head by inches and land elsewhere.
So fellow Geordies, if the weather seems too good to be true where you are, stay the heck indoors and grab yerself a bottle of broon.
