Polluted river

[Essjay]

Pronounced why-eye but with a Geordie/Mackem accent. I have a Lancashire accent so I can't say it properly

Black Sabbath- gold star

Yeah, one of the best songs ever.

(I can play that in the drums by the way...)

Close, but no coconut!

Why Aye - is indeed a geordie/mackem term, but signifies agreement

Why y' boys is pronounced "why yuh boys", and is a politer term than "Why yuh bugger" (or "Why yuh bugger man"). Of course, in the North East, it is one word*, usually prefaced by "Eeeeee" (as many Lancashire and Yorkshire phrases are). It is an expression of astonishment.

*Geordie is an agglutinative language, like German, where sentences and words are made by joining other words together. There is a story (probably apocryphal, but it illustrates the accent) that when the Japanese were inspecting the new site for what became the Datsun plant, they also had a look round heavy industry in the area (we had some then - those were the good old days). They complimented the management of one yard on the number of foreign workers he employed,. This puzzled the manager until the Japanese said "There - that man" It was a Geordie who had shouted "Howwayhoyerrammerowerhyuh" Translation: "Excuse me, my good fellow. Would you mind awfully passing me your hammer? Thanks, old boy. Jolly good"

Accent, speed, and dialect make us almost unintelligible to the rest of the world.

And that is how we like it.

Yes most of what I saw on Geordie Shore was unintelligible

 

[WhistlingBadger]

Yeah, one of the best songs ever.

I can play it on recorder.

 

[WhistlingBadger]

So yeah, @Barry Tetra , I hope you're grateful for all the help you're getting with that polluted river.

Trust me - it was a blessing!

I may live in Teesside by I'm a Lancastrian by upbringing. I'm still learning Geordie

Second hardest language in the world, next to Hungarian.

And the accent is the hardest in the UK to copy. (This is actually true . . . . even Meryl Streep probably couldn't manage it.)

 

[Essjay]

When we first moved to Teesside I was OK with Yorkshire accents but I couldn't understand a word the ex-pat Geordies said. Mind, when I lived in Cardiff I couldn't understand them either, nor the Cambridge accent where we lived when we were first married
Then we moved to Cheshire, then back to Lancashire and I was fine

Update guys;
I found guppies in this river too.
And also new born frog and also goose.

Oh and this is their parent

 

[Barry Tetra]

Guppies

I cant believe it, The water parameters of this polluted river is
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 20 (How??? I tested by using every test brand on this)
Gh 5
Kh 5
pH 7

 

[PheonixKingZ]

Why are you confused on the level of nitrates? In an aquarium, nitrates should be kept under 20ppm. Since this is a river, I imagine there are a lot of things decaying, hence high nitrate levels.
