    Default Geordies!!!

    nb. to our non-UK posters a Geordie is someone who comes from the far north-east of England.

    The Geordie Thermometer

    50 Degrees. Southerners turn on their heating.
    Geordies plant their gardens.

    40 Degrees. Southerners shiver uncontrollably.
    Geordies Sunbathe.

    30 Degrees. Southern cars will not start.
    Geordies drive with their windows down

    20 Degrees. Southerners wear coats, gloves, and
    wool hats.
    Geordies throw a t-shirt on (Girls start wearing mini-skirts)

    10 Degrees. Southerners begin to Evacuate.
    Geordies go swimming in the North Sea.

    Zero degrees. Southern landlords turn up the heat.
    Geordies have the last barbecue before it gets cold.

    Minus 10 Degrees. Southerners cease to exist.
    Geordies throw on a lightweight jacket.

    Minus 80 Degrees. Polar bears wonder if it's worth it. Geordie Boy scouts start wearing long trousers.

    Minus 100 Degrees. Santa Claus abandons the North Pole.
    Geordies put on their long johns.

    Minus 173 Degrees. Alcohol freezes.
    Geordies become frustrated because the pubs are shut.

    Minus 297 Degrees. Microbiological life starts to
    disappear.
    The cows on Newcastle town moor complain of vets with cold hands.

    Minus 460 Degrees. All atomic motion stops.
    Geordies start to stamp their feet and blow on their
    hands.

    Minus 500 Degrees. Hell freezes over……….Sunderland qualify for Europe.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Very good, the end is the best.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
    Jean Paul Sartre - No Exit 1944

    You converted it to Fahrenheit for us, how nice!
    "Never in physical action had I discovered the chilling satisfaction of words. Never in words had I experienced the hot darkness of action. Somewhere there must be a higher principle which reconciles art and action. That principle, it occurred to me, was death." -Yukio Mishima

    I don't know any Geordies, but Vermonters are a lot like that, especially those from the Northeast Kingdom. True Vermonters never wear coats. A fleece jacket is as far as we go. No windbreaking qualities and also very thin. The only thing that I have noticed as an inconvenience is when your snot freezes....

    BTW it was very funny.
    "A man's dying is more his survivor's affair than his own."
    C.S. Lewis
