[lenshack]

For definition of toon, see Loon or Goon.

On the bus from the terminal to the aeroplane at Schipol, for a flight back to NCL one pipes up " any Geordie boys on the bus?". A big bloke opposite "it's a flight to Newcastle; what do you think yer thick fucka?"

I near soiled my britches.

When I worked through Tyneside whenever I was introduced to new people whether it was work or customers it allways had "he's a mackem!" at the end of the sentence.
Some of my family are from Newcastle and they do the same.
I never once did that when I was in Sunderland/County Durham with collegues from that company and dont if ever any of my relatives are on Wearside in the company of my friends. I honestly really don't understand it

That was a year or two before at Roker Park I think.

I definitely remember standing in the leazes end, hearing this noise and looking right and the fucktards were jangling their keys singing 'wheese keys are these", laughing their little cotton socks off then our lot started singing that. Sure it was my first visit there, 1992 when Kelly scored, week before Norwich semi final. Bless em.
