someone proper random comes over to you and says....'is that a proper G40?'
I stopped in a car park and the most random, homeless looking, old age man, creeps over....ginger beard, long wirey hair and some kind of skin condition like excema all over, very few teeth etc..wasn't from round my way as he had more of a southern accent, Buxton he said he was from.. anyway he was canny as fuck! canny meaning 'cool, sound, friendly'
Knew exactly what a G40 was..showed him the engine and he was buzzing..turned out he used to make custom exhausts for cossies back in the 90's ha ha
Moral to this story..don't judge someone as a tramp until you've spoken to them :D God I wish I'd got a picture! He was a scruffier looking bloke than Frank Gallagher!
-
I'm sorry Dan but the thing that is making me piss myself is the fact that you think Buxton is in the south! Put it this way, you drove through Buxton on the G40 rally.
-
Anything above the M25 is up north in my eyes LOL
-
anything below cumbria is south to me.
wasn't from round my way as he had more of a southern accent :D :D :D
-
anything south of sheffield to me, buxton is more west than south. did the bloke look like hamish out of braveheart? :)
-
anywhere past teeside is south..basically anywhere past scotch corner is 'down south' to me ha ha...people in manchester call themselves 'northeners'! what a joke!

yea chris moyles always calls himself northern and he's from leeds!
-
Leeds?... northern? Raging southerner!!! Lol
-
Does the north/south divide not kick in at The Midlands - or are they wrongly named?! ;)
-
When I lived in Newcastle I found everyone in England was either a Geordie, a Mackam or a 'Southerner', now I live in Southampton and it's much the same, you're either from Southampton, Portsmouth, or 'the north'...
As a born and bred midlander I've never been particularly keen on my regional designation in either extreme...
IMO Sheffield is in the north (where they hate the south) and Milton keynes is in the south (where they mock the north).
This leaves a precious few degrees of latitude for those of us who choose to mock and dislike both as they see fit and as social conditions dictate.
lol!

Ha ha awesome! Very funny.
Come on then, stick your neck out, where is the best part of the country?!

I love the north for it's scenery and generally for not being so busy. I really notice the increase in congestion and just the amount of people when I travel down south. South past Milton Keynes is busy as owt and despressing to me. I find northern people appear more willing to talk wheras southern, particularly Londoneners are stuck up especially the birds! Birds from down south who come up to Uni who sport frizzed up blonde hair and jodpers and have a horses face love themselves and I love trying to talk to them cos they're proper slutty slags who've been let off daddies leash but they're a right challange lol. Birds up my way will tell you they're a slag and wear very little on a night out in the 'toon'. By the way for anyone who's never been out in Newcastle, it's gotta be one of the best places to go out. I live on Sunderland about 10-15 miles from Newcastle and although Sunderland is good Newcastle is much better. I think our country as a whole is a beautiful country with lots of culture and you'll always be biased towards where you live I suppose.
-
Well put Spaniel.
I agree with the whole 'elbow room' argument up north. The roads round Northumberland/Borders are as good as I've driven in the UK and the sensation of space is great - especially for a country boy like me! I have to drive for a good hour or so west nowadays (down south) before I can really cut the G loose and if it's sunny then every other f*cker's off to the beach and you may as well forget it unless you fancy getting clutch leg paralysis in a traffic jam!
I used to promote my own night at Foundation in toon when I was there, so despite haviong gone downhill a bit since then (lol) if there's a better town in the UK for the screaming lash then I'm yet to find it. I still go back a couple of times a year just for a night out!
-
I agree about southerners from Manchester producing some of the better bands! Love ian bown! Oasis lets not forget too!
-
nothing wrong with us southerners, yes our roads are busy, yes the birds seem more stuck up in some areas. its just you northern monkeys that have the issues.
-
i said northern monkeys didnt I, i could have used much worse.... hence the love :0)
-
southern birds arent that bad!
i live in brighton and go clubbing in london a fair bit, you just need to choose the right words
and give em a bit of charm, i allways seem to end up with posh birds, they seem all prim and proper
and then when u take them home its like unleashing a caged animal in the bedroom!
-
Didn't know you were from Brighton mate, I am just along a bit in Worthing.
-
why the hell has my mum been brought into this!
Yeah leave my mistress out of this!
And how can anyone say that leeds isnt up north? Look on a map, the whole of yorkshire looks pretty darn northern to me.

Most likely a deliberate mistake. ;D
-
I was always under the impression that it was never the case of north or south but a case of London being the centre of the universe and the rest just revolving around it. ;D
Anyways, the truth of the matter is anything bellow the scottish border is south
-
Scotlands another country though, and can not benefit from being called 'the north' as it is not worthey. :D
-
75p postage from the real north to the proper south (sussex). £4.00 postage from Sussex to the real north. You guys don't know what north means; even the ones who live in the "north"
West Coast Scotland's got the best driving roads in the country and some of the finest beaches. Admitedly you die of hypothermia when you go in the water; that's why I go to Cornwall lol. As for the folk I like best, Geordielands got them all.
