Vorsprung durch technic man bonnie lad

I often feel inadequate when I read the vowe posts in German. I wonder what he is on about? Perhaps he is from Redcar and he is just having us all on ;-)

The best I can do is post the previous entry in Geordie.

This, alang wi reality TV, is the begining o the end of western civilisation.

One gadgie wez stabbed near Ikea's newest store an several fowk were hurt in the crush as thoosands flocked te its midnight opening.

Nine ambulances went te the Edmonton store, north Lunnen , affta reports tha up te 20 fowk were suffering frem heat exhaustion an minor injuries.

Bargain-hunters even abandoned thor cars on the A406 north circular causing "severe traffic" problems, polliss sez . More ..

IKEA gawd.

It is at times leik these Ah think wi should, a cyber stylee, aal join hands an sing a hymn ... aal together noo:

Aw went to Blaydon races
'twas on the ninth of Joon,
Eiteen hundred an' sixty two,
on a summer's efternoon,
Aw tuek the bus frae Balmbra's,
an she wis heavy laden,
Away we went alang Collingwood Street thats on the road to Blaydon

O lads, ye shud only seen us gannin,
We passed the foakes upon the road
just as they wor stannin;
Thor wes lots o' lads an lasses there,
all wi smilin' faces
Gannin' alang the Scotswood Road,
to see the Blaydon Races

We flew past Airmstrang's factory
and up to the 'Robin Adair'
Just gannin' doon te the railway bridge,
the bus wheel flew off there.
The lasses lost their crinolines off,
an' the veils that hide their faces.
An' aw got two black eyes an' a broken nose
in ga'n te Blaydon Races

O lads, ye shud only seen us gannin,
We passed the foakes upon the road
just as they wor stannin;
Thor wes lots o' lads an lasses there,
all wi smilin' faces
Gannin' alang the Scotswood Road,
to see the Blaydon Races
