Don't I know it... I came from the mountains and I don't think we actually spoke english. It'd be like comparing Standard British English to Middle English--remotely similar... Kind of.
Tired of reading new rulebooks... Just wanting to play.
So your uncles a geordie but none of the rest of your family? Hows that work? Did your grandparents dump him there and relocate somewhere else to bring up your parent?

Right on the 2nd attempt. But they are no longer married. But he's still my Uncle and a good laugh.
Apparently, he knows the Sunderland Mafia, having broken the nose of the now big cheese in primary school. Not sure I believe him though, but am scared to say so just in case he is...never know what retribution organised Geordie's can wreak!

I wouldn't be calling a mackem a geordie if I were you, especially if they are in some sort of mafia (although personally I find the concept of organised crim in sunderland quite funny). For the record, mackems are from sunderland, geordies from newcastle. Although people from gateshead, hexham andsometimes durham are kniown to call themselves a geordie aswell.

I think the North east gets a bad rap when it comes to inaudible accents, esspecially when places like cumbria and dumfrieshire are just nextdoor. Places where someone could count to ten and you'd think they were talking spanish (edit: rough german, spanish is too generous).

Geordie mafia? Get Carter (the original film) is set in Newcastle, the book's set in my home town of Doncaster.
Gotta remember, that Snatch was made by a pom, and as such, pom slang found its way into the movie.

Better get outta here "Before Zee Germans get here".
Snatch is a great movie. Nice and British

Oh yeh I'm not doubting it's existence. I just find the whole idea of a mafia in sunderland fairly humorous. And once again, a mafia in sunderland would be a mackem mafia not a geordie one.
REPENT! For tomorrow you die!
