Howay Man The Whey Aye

By Geordie H in Geordie Communities

Developers have announced plans to build Europe’s tallest observation wheel on Newcastle Quayside in a project that would see more than £100m invested in the city and create up to 550 jobs.

Standing 140 metres high, the observation wheel – dubbed ‘The Whey Aye’ in celebration of its location – will be five metres taller than the London Eye.

The wheel will also have a world-record breaking 10,000 sq m LED digital screen as its centre piece, which will be used to communicate information about local culture and events as well as social media content ..

The Geordie Nanny – Jill Halfpenny

By Geordie H in Comedy Channel, Geordie TV, Geordies

One of the funniest of Catherine Tate’s Geordie sketches is where she skits the Geordie accent alongside Gateshead born actress Jill Halfpenny .

In the following short video Jill plays an agency Nanny,

“from the north, Newcastle I’m told, but it could be as far as Sunderland” who is urgently drafted in to look after a posh southern woman’s (Catherine Tate) children.

Coats For Geordies Winter Appeal

By Geordie H in Community Channel, Geordie Humour, Geordie TV, Geordieland, Geordies

Now that the winter snow had arrived with a vengeance we would like to remind all you Geordie Lads “n” Lasses of the need to protect yourselves from the extreme weather conditions despite ye warm blooded geordie genes.

In the following youtube video Chris Connely also makes an appeal for members of the public to donate to the Coats For Geordies appeal. 😛

Thank you for listening 😀

Please note: this is a nicely done and humorous Geordie parody and “of course” no such appeal exists 😛 – however, coats and jackets can be donated to the numerous charity shops on nearly every High Street throughout Geordieland (and of course in nearby Darlington).

Cullercoats Bay & Blue Flag Beach in North Tyneside

By Geordie H in Art & Culture, Cullercoats, Geordie Photos, Geordie Towns & Cities, North Tyneside

Cullercoats Bay is a small blue flag sandy bay popular with geordie families featuring caves nestled in the surrounding cliffs in the centre of the bay which was in times gone by a thriving fishing harbour providing shelter for more than 150 fishing boats.

The bay is also home to the RNLI lifeboat station which still plays an active part in this small North Tyneside seaside community.

The following photos and slideshow shows some excellent views of this popular North Tyneside bay and beach.
