Were you on the show this year -saying this? Which housemate were you because I can't recall you ?

I ask because I thought we were discussing housemates and where they live/come from/ their background.....

Is it fair to say that as far as being regarded as a true Geordie....that the opinion is, Jay is not?

Perhaps a Plastic Geordie, but what one regards as true Geordie in the true nature and understanding of the term?

Jay certainly fits all the cliches of Geordies - vain, superficial, ignorant, ill-mannered, shallow, sexist, aggressive, etc. all Geordie traits if we're generalising. In the name of balance and fairness though, there's a few less negative cliched Geordie traits too that he fits the stereotype for I suppose - party animal, has a way with the ladies, etc.

No. Depends where he was born and grew up. Which we dont know.

On the 'where you were born thing' I wouldnt say that matters as much as where you spent the majority of your childhood. I mean, my Gav was born in Manchester, but literally when he was about a week old his mother moved to newcastle. So he classes himself as a geordie. Whether this is right or wrong I dont know, but it seems a bit daft to consider yourself from manchester just because you were born in a hospital there

I was born in a hospital outwith where I live, I don't say I come from where that hospital is: that's daft, I agree....!! If we are going down that line, the joke is;

"So where d'you come from"
"My mother"




I thought we have agreed that he has been deceptive in respect of his 'have nowt' background - and has been very economical with the truth, and has used his 'ah just a normal Geordie' type - to reinforce his not so humble background/lifestyle - which is in essence, is the heart of the matter.

He HAS been 'economical with the truth' about having nothing etc.

But not (as far as we can tell without knowing his full address history since birth) about actually being a geordie...

Okay. that sound feasible!

BTW Mumbles: Smoggy? That's a new one - I'm scared to ask about that through fear of it starting off again.

A Smoggy (or Smog Monster) is the name given to those from Middlesbrough, due to the neaby ICI chemical works that casts a cloud of horrible smog over the town when the wind blows the wrong way. I lived there for nearly a year and some mornings I'd wake up with a layer of grey dust covering everything if I'd left the bedroom window open. Horrible, place. When Sunderland used to play Boro, some fans would turn up in full chemical warfare suits to take the mick.

Probably more fair to say no one knows what he is. The guy is 27 years old. How do you know he didn't live in newcastle for 20 years? Most of you are speculating what he is by where he lives now.

Erm im saying that im not from cardiff but say i am as its the closest place to where im from that people will know of and i lived there for 4 years.

This is in relation to the thread as im backing up Jay calling himself Geordie even though he does live outside there but has lived in Newcastle.

Stop nit picking.

And you talked about yourself being from near Glasgow so you're doing the same thing.

Please see the run of replies above. This is about Jay and whether HE has given deceitful information in which to persuade the public about his background/trappings.

I made it very clear in posts that this is not about fms here and how they choose to explain what they are regarded as.....as this has no bearing on JAY and in JAY making out he is something that he is not.

Im fully aware of this.

Im backing up Jay saying that just because he calls himself Geordie but lives outside there does not mean he is decieving fans but that he classes himself as Geordie.

I am very much on topic as you were when YOU were talking about where you are from.

Do you finally understand or shall i repeat it for the fourth time?
