What On Earth Do You Northerners.....

[gness]

.... do to folk?.... ;-)

Reading TTT's post about the lottery winners I see they can't find their "friend John" who bought the winning ticket for them because he's moved.... "up North".

I'm listening to a play about two bank robbers who, when the job went wrong, moved up North to escape from the police and the big boss who wants the money.
They reckon they can disappear if they go "up North".

I'm asking because Dave has suggested we travel "up North" before returning to Ireland... :-(

I have just returned to London (intact, almost) from Lancashire. Too many American Werewolves roaming in the gloaming for my liking.
A cow had a go at me up by Malham Tarn, she had a tiny calf with her and I had my three cockers (on leads) with me. I did that Crocodile Dundee thing with my fingers - it worked...

That M6 is a right pain, endless miles of 50mph average speed traps, endless miles of 'smart' motorway, makes the drive up and down a real chore.

in Neighbours they used to disaappear up north to Queensland, didn't they? So it's Blackburn Lancashire vs Surfers Paradise... hm, tricky one.

[venator]

Is this like the slaves leaving the Confederacy and going up North?

Hello, Sir A. Nice to see you back. Are you well?

[Tilly2]

Jno, have you heard about the holes in Blackburn, Lancashire? There're a lot, apparently.

"A Day in the Life" of a Northerner can be a 'Holey' experience ;-)

[Arksided]

It sure can, laddered tights, string vests, worn clothes, ripped jeans.. flat caps n' whippets... we got the lot.

[Tilly2]

Don't forget the rhubarb, Ark. Best rhubarb in the world. :-)

[Arksided]

Of course Tilly... those pretenders with their Bermuda triangle... we have a Rhubarb triangle:

a twenty-sixth of a hole per person, Tilly, and it can only have got worse.

That passes for entertainment in Yorkshire - listening to t'rhubarb growing through the neet.

[Arksided]

There's more ***holes in London that suggests ;-)

[Arksided]

Better than soaps Mamya. They always remind me of 'Day of the Triffids'

[Mamyalynne]

Don't watch them myself.
