Freya said:How old are you again?
Billy Oblivion said:I am, as you well know, 25 years old (and 251 months). I am in my prime and I have a brain the size of a planet.
Freya said:The Tees line was all I heard when I loved in Newcastle. Actually I lie. hey said, 'Anything south of the fucking Tyne is fucking Southern' and then I'd receive a swift wallop round the head.
Halo said:Ah, so that explains it - you are talking about Britain, whereas I am referring to England. Therefore, I live in the north of England and am a northerner.
Freya said:Newcastle was... bleak.
Billy Oblivion said:I could have sworn that your profile didn't always say Yorkshire.
And whereabouts in Yorkshire? Whitby may be classed as Northern England (at a stretch) but huge swathes of Yorkshire are as far south as Merseyside where they eat jellied eels in wine bars and say barth instead of bath.
Halo said:No, my profile has always said Yorkshire. I live in a part of Yorkshire that is definitely in the north of England, although some parts of the county do indeed stretch as far south as the river Humber. The fact that I say barth and grarss proves that I am northern.
How did I suddenly come in to this? I assume that you have dicided that it is no longer restricted to England.Billy Oblivion said:It always has been and still is.
I'll accept that Hay82 is northern. No arguments there.

I must have missed something about why its bad to be a northerner..
BTW I am a student and accounting isn't far of.
My brain must have skipped a few lines of this very intelligent discussion.Billy Oblivion said:a Northerner, it's bad (almost unforgiveable) to be a southerner. And Freya and Halo claim to be Northern when in fact they pratically live down here in London with me.
