My mother was a Geordie from Newcastle upon Tyne TIG. She was always proud of being a Geordie.

I could tell you about the great nightlife
I could tell you that Newcastle is the City of many Bridges

But the heartbeat and soul of "The Toon" lies here (see attached)
At the place of worship on the hill known as St James'

I know this is a typical North American attitude, but I just can't watch soccer (football), not entirely sure why, but I don't find it engaging at all...
I'm also not the biggest hockey fan out there, but I do know that the Flames are better than the Canucks in every way (bahahahaha). Especially because of the Red Mile, and Flames girls (neither of which I'll link to, because they are chalk full of topless women, just look it up)

Hahaha, yeah I'm not a big hockey fan either, I just figured it was the obilgatory post for me to make when confronted with someone from Calgary. I'm sure you noticed but, "yay" and "booooo" aren't really typical angry hockey rhetoric

Unfortunately the Newcastle Brewery closed - it moved over the river to Gateshead briefly but I think that 'Scottish and Newcastle' have moved back to Scotland... Some debate about whether or not Newcastle Brown Ale can be a protected name when it's not made here any more...
On the plus side it does mean we are looking at converting their old corporate HQ into a smart hotel - next to St James' Park (home of 'The Toon' - NUFC). The rest of the large site to the west of the city centre is earmarked for a conference centre, Hilton Hotel, offices, science park etc - one of the few big bits of town that needs a big boost
