Hey guys, Well today am feeling rather patriotic not about my country but about the town where i was born. In my personal oppinion the western world is to overated and i deeply despise it but out of all the west there is just one place i like and thats my home:)
I'm a Geordie and if people dont know what that is. It is a person from Newcastle upon Tyne in England.
Back in a colourful history we have been invaded by saxons,vikings,Scots, English and so our dialect is very weird. It has norweign words in it and sounds scottish. It use to have lots of vocab diffrent than english and still does but at one time there was a lot more and it use to be like our own kinda language now its no more than a regional dialect.
The town was built in AD122 to protect the bridge that goes over the tyne and so they established a fort there. Alos we have the start of the hadrians wall which was one of the borders of the roman empire later in history the border was pushed far into scotland but they could nt hold postion and so the only defensive remains left is the hadrians wall.
We are an industrious town and use to live from the river. We are renowned for our boat building skills and mining and it was home to st bbede and so at one time was one of the main parts of the roman empire.
There is lots about our town

How about everyone else come tell us about your dialect or country :)
What? Can you say that again I didn't get it the first time. ;)
Geordie Land, just like Mark Knopfler's Sailing to Philadelphia?
I thought it was an imaginary land where Geordie (LeVar Burton) was king of the blind.
(even though his name was spelled Geordi)
That's just the american spelling. ;)
so people spell the name of an American tv character differently in other countries?
i'll take your word for it.
Well, that's my personal reality. ;)
Well I'm close enough to Newcastle (Middlesbrough) and I do have family there. I prefer Newcastle to Middlesbrough as it is more full of life.
