There was a game of Civ IV me and Pike played where she turned Newcastle into an industrial powerhouse that pumped out nuclear weapons.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Geordies. With nukes.

OH MAN that was so great, they could build an ICBM in like three turns.

No. No there was absolutely nothing great about this at all. :colbert:

I'm only superstitious about the dead, for some reason I get antsy when people attempt to disturb resting places. Go figure.

Bubba hates the Geordie accent but I've never heard it??????



(But my sweet, sweet Lockharted is from there, and I could never hate anything that had to do with her mouth.)

Please tell me that accent is exaggerated and you don't have a bunch of people running around sounding like that.

I am not very superstitious but my brain is afraid of ghosts.

Being afraid of ghosts isn't superstitious, it's practical.

Yeah I have all sorts of stupid little things with poker. Diamonds never hit a flush for me, for instance. That's utter bollocks because it has happened once or twice but it just feels less likely.

PS what the smurf is wrong with Magpies?

That's actually fairly toned down from real Geordies for the purposes of people from outside Newcastle being able to understand the skit.

The English are no longer allowed to make fun of Americans for any reason whatsoever.

Black cats are good luck, I believe it because they're cats.

Also, it is bad luck to harm a black cat (that's been corrupted in some places and made people think the black cats themselves were bad luck :roll2) I would never harm a black cat, but not just because of superstition. I would never harm a cat at all.

Also, horseshoes can be good luck, or bad luck. It depends on which direction they're pointing.

One not mentioned on here, that I don't believe at all is rabbit's feet being lucky. I don't think the rabbit believes in this one...

You must always salute a lone magpie. One for sorrow. But if you see two you can thank them. Three is a nice bonus 'cause it means you're gonna meet a laaaaaaydyyyyyy.

Look, we don't encourage it, alright? We exiled them to a frozen northern wasteland and we try to keep them out of normal society as best we can. We don't judge you for Detroit, so don't judge us for Newcastle.
