Allotments 4 All

I live in Durham but i wasnt born here so no way am i a geordie ( still trying to get my head round the accents up here ::))  was born in brum  then lived in west yorks now here in durham :)

Durham - as in the City, or the County, flower?
Get yourself into woolly back country - then you really will need an interpreter.
l ;)

Did a spot of work for Sting many moons ago.  He is such a cool man, and sooooooooooooo cute, and there he sat, in a great big aran sweater..........oooooooooo soooo cuddly!

In the county Emmp and they talk ruddy fast  ;D

I seem to remember Sting (Gordon) was thin and lanky with spiky blond hair.  Ernie used to drink in the Rising Sun Pub in High Farm in Wallsend and we would often sit with him.

I am definitely a Geordie.  I have always believed it was  those born and living around the river Tyne.  The word "Geordie" came about because of Newcastle and the surrounding areas allegiance to King George during the Jacobian uprising.  Whilst Sunderland were aligned to the opposing side.  :D busy_lizzie   

That's what I thought as well Busy Lizzie, I'm a Gateshead born & bred Geordie. Sunderland would be on the other side wouldn't they ?

Funny that Sting guy does nowt for me ;D

I remember some blokes where I worked talking about being Geordies. Some of them reckoned you had to be born within 3 miles of the Tyne to be a proper Geordie. I dunno! I'm just repeating what was said.

I just read what I said before...about Geordies being from Newcastle and the towns along the  Tyne and I mentioned Wallsend as a frinstance,sorry Reedos I meant both sides of the Tyne and when I said south of the water I was thinking Sunderland etc...didn't even think about Gateshead. Oops how wars are started eh!I asked OH and he says he's a Geordie so he must be right.  ( Like I EVER think he's right about anything!)

EmmP...my mate's boyfriend from Hartlepool used to get into a right tizzy about the monkey thing...so ofcourse we mentioned it often! 

EJ I'm sooooo jealous heeheehee! 

I know the Rising Sun in High Farm, Busy.

LOL !!!  That is fantastic Glyn I love it !  ;D ;D ;D

Did you take that in the 3 Bulls after the match on Saturday ???


Very funny ;D ;D ;D

reedos>>  know exactly what you mean.....any free time and its off to the lotment...was nice to set up the drawing board outside when the weather was nice tho.

I am new here and think my profile looks very boring. I need help in finding out how to add photos etc. I have been described some things in life, but never boring....Help please! ???

It always seems difficult at first.

Have a look at http://www.allotments4all.co.uk/yabbse/index.php/topic,2633.msg24088.html#msg24088 - & keep your chat over there to keep this permanent board free?

Also search 'posting photos' - there are more aids.

If you're still stuck, e-mal me & I'll try to help.

I have just been reading through a few of these profiles especially those that mention "Geordies" and "Sting". 

My husband is from Durham and doesn't consider himself to be a "Geordie".  He believes the label should only refer to those in Newcastle itself.

Now Sting lives about five miles away from me and do you know what, he has never asked me round for a cup of tea.  He won't get any of my squashes!!

Well I'm also a nosey person so I'll tell you abit about me.

My name is Verity, I am 29 and come from Dundee in Scotland. I am divorced with no kids unless you count my 2 dogs Murphy and Yogi. I took on my first ever plot in April with no gardening experience at all and i now have 2. It has become a bit of an addiction, quite good considering I have been suffering with agoraphobia for 7 years now.
i have been coming here for a little while now and the advice has been invaluable so thank you all.

Excellent Verity. ;D
Keep coming.. ;D
;D ;D ;D ;D

Well done, Vez!

Nice to meet you Vez.

Next thing is to post your pic in what do we all look like.

What he said + you can ask questions about veg too!

I have noticed that if you have windows Messenger it shows up when you post topic or reply,  but I have messenger and the icon does not not show.
How is this done any help Would  be brill
