My favourite things to say in a Geordie accent…

5. Photocopier
4. Emotional rollercoaster
3. A mere bagatelle
2. Toto
1. Kendo Nagasaki

Bonus: Halal Meat (which is how Geordie’s say hello to each other).

@JustEthanP Americans call tuna ‘tuna fish’, presumably so they don’t get it confused with tuna mammal.

@prieurdp Because it’s easier and safer to reverse into an empty space than it is to reverse into a road. I’m surprised it needs explaining.

[Jules Benjamin @julesbenjamin]

@ItsAndyRyan @__tzs Actually, I do.

[Jules Benjamin @julesbenjamin]

@reformparty_uk Of course they are. They backed Brexit too.
The rural gene pool must be rather thin.

@reformparty_uk Are you ever going to turn up at the Commons, you work-shy bastard?

@Thomashornall @Microinteracti1 You can find good food if you look for it. Fruit, veg and meat are bound to be expensive because they have to import most of it. Just one of those things you have to get used to.

@prodnose I always wanted to do the paralytic Olympics 3 weeks after the real ones.
100m drunken dash.
Jäger marathon.
Just drunken idiots trying to do shit.

@ChelseaFC Which European trophies are you competing in next season?

[Jules Benjamin @julesbenjamin]

@cmspet @graeme_from_IT Erm, mustard.

[Jules Benjamin @julesbenjamin]

@MattGunner32 @StanCollymore But Roger’s managed to win a European title this season. Why would he join a team of perennial underachievers?

@gozerworshipper @Gibboanxious I guess I love Coen-style thriller/road movies more than I enjoy drug induced vampire romps.
Sucking tequila from Salma Hayek’s toes, not withstanding.

@MichaelMaGoo2U @Scaramucci Hahaha…Farage…restore order and sanity!
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You dopey fucking dingbat.

@mnprpublicity @mnprmagazine @mnprradio Out of interest, and only because I was talking to a friend about it yesterday…and of course this is just my opinion, but I find Exile to be overrated. It’s Mick Taylor’s slide work that gets me through it. Guess I don’t like the blues enough.

[Jules Benjamin @julesbenjamin]

@mnprpublicity @mnprmagazine @mnprradio You could argue that the Stones did their important and relevant work between 67-78, so who’s to say if the Beatles had gone for longer, maybe they would have run out of classics. Who knows.

[Jules Benjamin @julesbenjamin]

@mnprpublicity @mnprmagazine @mnprradio I would suggest the fact that they’re more influential and enduring from 7 years of producing music compared to the Stones 60+ years is enough to conclude they can’t be overrated.
Also reinforces my point that longevity ≠ greatness, as is confirmed by a lot of Stones turkeys.

[Jules Benjamin @julesbenjamin]

@mnprpublicity @mnprmagazine @mnprradio My reaction has been based on you saying…the Beatles are way overrated, and your assertion that longevity is worth more than making great records.
If you can began to attempt to justify those takes, I will gladly debate.

@mnprpublicity @mnprmagazine @mnprradio Occurs to me if you have to remind everyone what you do for a living, you might have a problem.
Especially with a dogshit take like yours in the original comment.
