"No-one knows for sure exactly how the residents of Tyneside or perhaps more accurately Newcastle upon Tyne became known as 'Geordies'. One theory is that it was the name given to the workers of the railway pioneer Geordie Stephenson, another is that it was a term for a pitman deriving from the use of Stephenson's Geordie Lamp."

You figured out when you were 17 that Rubber Soul is the Beatles' best album. No brainer.

You don't sound different,
I've learned the game.
I'm looking through you,
You're not the same.

You say Lindisfarne doesn't have rhythm?
