I Am From The North Of England

Not just the north, but the north east. And this is just why the north east is the best place on earth. We have the best towns and cities, and have produced some amazing people...

1. We have 2 of the biggest football teams in the country, Sunderland and our inbred cousins, Newcastle.
2. Newcastle city centre - the best night out in the country.
3. The wonderful historic city of Durham.
4. Ocean Road in South Shields with all the Indian restaurants. It's half a mile long and the smell of curry is lush!
5. Alan Shearer.
6. Alun Armstrong.
7. Newton Hall in Durham is Europe's biggest private housing estate!
8. We have the best accent in the country.
9. We are right on the coast - Roker beach can be mint.
10. Northumberland is amazing and scenic.
11. Rowan Atkinson.
12. Ant and Dec.
13. Cheryl Cole.
14. Gordon Sumner, aka Sting.
15. Hadrian's Wall - built to keep the Scots out!
16. Aug Weidersein Pet! Oz, Neville and Denis our geordie brickies.
17. The Likely Lads.
18. Thinking of Oz, Jimmy Nail.
19. Byker Grove.
20. Jill Halfpenny.
21. The hero of England's World Cup heroics, the one and only Jordan Pickford 😍
22. Langley Park's greatest export, the late, great Sir Bobby Robson.

I could go on, but that would be boring, and we are the least boring region in the country. We are just totally mint, and we say it as it is. No sugar coating sh1t in these parts 👌

Number 5 great player but dull as dishwater as a pundit. Number 13 she’s Queen of the Chavs, I’d be loathe to boast about her. Numbers 3 and 10, agreed . Number 11 very funny guy

@Helpinghands And he'll always remembered for having a penalty saved by Thomas Sorensen in a Tyne-Wear derby, which Sunderland won 2-1! Bahahaha.
Wor Chez? She's Bykers finest. You can take the lass outta Byker, but you can't take Byker out of the lass. And half of Byker has been in her 🙈 (The other half are female!)

@Katy03 lol about her but did her and Shearer ever have a fling?! So you’re a big Sunderland fan? Fancy your lads for promotion this season?

Katy03 · 18-21, F

@Helpinghands Ah, Sheilagh is from Gosforth, the posh bit of the Toon. Oh aye, massive! If we don't get promoted this year there's something seriously wrong! I'm actually enjoying seeing us win some matches again. I'd forgotten what it's like to have a happy Saturday night!!!

@Katy03 I know you really lost the winning habit but it might not be easy, yours is the only league with not just one but two teams who’ve won all 4 so far. I remember watching you win the FA cup on telly as a kid, we were all rooting for you. I still remember Jimmy Montgomery, Ian Porterfield, Bobby Kerr . I’m sure you’re too young to remember but know all about it

Katy03 · 18-21, F

@Helpinghands Even my dad is too young to remember that, or so he claims, but I've heard about it loads and have watched it on DVD. The hair styles were awful, but I wish I'd been around in those days, it looked AMAZING!

Helpinghands · M

@Katy03 it was amazing. We all wanted you to beat “dirty Leeds” but were amazed when you did!

@Katy03 at your next match , here’s what happened https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/football/2009/may/19/seven-deadly-sins-football-sunderland-stan-bowles

@Helpinghands Well whoever Stan Bowles is, he's a grade 1 bell end! A total wanker!! I wouldn't wish ill on anyone, but if he got gangrene in his knob and it fell off, I for one would just laugh at him!!

@Katy03 he was the best player in the country for a while around 1975. The master of dribbling and a left foot that “could open a can of beans”. He was also a gambling addict and he loved the high life. He had nothing against Sunderland, that night was just a bit of fun for him, he always loved a laugh and never took football too seriously. These days sadly he has Alzheimers.

Katy03 · 18-21, F

@Helpinghands Well that article was nasty, especially the last line about us all being weird up here. So as far as I'm concerned, he's a twat and karma has bitten him full on his fat, hairy arse! He's a master of dribbling again now then?

Helpinghands · M

@Katy03 fair enough I can see why you’re offended but as a kid he was my favourite player and I met him a few times when I was an adult and he was no longer in the public eye and he was the nicest fella you could imagine. But yes I guess he’s dribbling again now 😒
