Could somebody please tell an untaugt guy from germany what he is talking about at the end of this video? His accent is really a hard nut to crack! Does he say "Ì think I broke me nose but i`m alright"?

[rideon77]

I think it's the geordie language...pretty different from English!

[Thurmond3264]

by geordie, its really good

[Thurmond3264]

everybody should listen to the house of the rising sun cover.

The guy sounds like Donald duck, terrible, always preferred Bon ... and he has nothing on Dan Mccafferty. Yup, that is all, thanks for reading then.

@Urmel667 He did, also said it went straight to his "heid" - head.

@wkdmage I was born in North Shields in 1958 and have never moved away. I was always told that to be a Geordie you had to be born on the north side of the river Tyne and within the sound of the shipyards.

I have a Geordie accent and I can clearly tell when somebody claims to be Geordie but is from the likes of South Shields (e.g. that Alex girl from Big Brother 2011).

I’m not having a go at anyone claiming to be Geordie but the term just seems to get thrown round a lot nowadays.

[wkdmage]

It seems that the rest of Britain and the world think that to be a Geordie all you have to do is live in the North East of England, although Gateshead is literally just across the river Tyne and their accent is for the most part identical to people from Newcastle, it is a DIFFERENT city and so they are not real Geordie’s. I have lived in Newcastle most of my life,

[wkdmage]

PS a little fact that nobody outside of Newcastle seems to know is that Geordie's are really people from Newcastle Upon Tyne, ie Wallsend, Byker, Elswick, Fenham, etc... Gateshead, South Shields, Durham, etc are completely different places and therefore the people that live in these areas shouldn’t be classed as real Geordie’s (for instance people from South Shields are actually called “Sand Dancers”, people from Sunderland are called “Mackems”).

Geordie English:

“It's alreet, am alreet, a think a broke me leg but am alreet. A towld ya I shuda brought me fucking glasses man! Is me hat doon there, that would be good? ee the blood went strite to me heed with that one. (drops hat) and owa again, thank you very much.”

There isn't exactly a comprehensive dictionary for Geordie words so I've wrote the Geordie version roughly how Brian said the words.

[wkdmage]

Normal English translation:

“It's alright, I'm alright. I think I broke my leg but im alright. I told you I should of brought my glasses! Is my hat down there, that would be good? The blood went straight to my head with that one. (drops hat) And over again, thank you very much.”
