    Another vote here for the 'Geordie men CAN be romantic' camp. My OH is geordie born and bred, and as we're both skint/trying to get out of debt we have to be more creative for special occassions. For new years he made me a lovely 3 course meal, and then after he ran me a bath, filled with origami flowers he'd made himself and lots of candles round the outside, and a glass of wine waiting for me on the side. Looking forward to see what he comes up with for my birthday on friday!

  • I do agree that not all geordie men are unromantic, OH'S mates are all canny lads and know how to treat their wives. It's my birthday next week as well and he is on the DIY trail asking me if i wanted something practical fo the house, he is either a stereotypical ****** or just completely oblivious to somone elses needs- i've just given up. So he really needs to look at some of the replies on here and take some tips, congrats to those who have got the romance in their life- i'm not bitter or jealous -much!!!

  • LOL total sympathy.

    When you met was his chat-up line: "You're propa smart yee like pet."

    Does he follow any romantic lush with: "Divvn't tell the lads though or they'll think am a puff* like."

    Does he call you "wor lass" to his mates?

    (*no disrespect here to anyone in same-sex shenanigans, it's a direct quote not a reflection on my opinions)
    He says all of the above and also put on the- "i divin no ow t diit pet!"- with regards to domestic chores, although i realise it can be misinterpreted to mean other domestic chores.
    His original line was "You're a propa canny lass aren't u pet" i should have realised then what i'd let myself in for in this order.
    Footy- When Neecastle are playing- No conversation, likewise for any sport with balls in it.:mad:
    Wrestling-ltd conversation depending how quickly its over
    Food has to plenty of it as built like a whippet and needs plenty of energy to burn off when asleep in between the footy and the wrestling.
    lager- has to have plenty of tinnies for when other footie mates come round- as well as stash of footie grub for said mates/mate and himself.:beer:
    DIY - usually i'll do it in a minute now- in other words do it yourself pet!!
    Children after all of the above will take them out
    Me well i'm way down on list with computer for company- secretly divvying away a canny stash, to take myself a way on holiday and leave him with his sky subscription and a bag of crisps- he'll never notice.:cool:
