A new and easy test for COVID-19 doing the rounds.
Take a glass and pour your favourite spirit, then see if you can smell it.
If you can then you are halfway there. Then drink it and if you can taste it then it is reasonable to assume you are currently free of the virus.
I tested myself nine times last night and was virus free every time, thank goodness.
I will have to test myself again today, as I have a headache, which can also be one of the symptoms!!!

I thought my geordie mate had had a stroke.
I put my hands on his shoulders looked at his face, and i asked him to smirk.
So he got out his Rothmans.

Not heard that one before. However, I guess your pal must come from somewhere between Springwell and Sunderland. (Lads like me brought up nearer to Geordie ground zero, would almost certainly have have said ‘smoak’).
I was thinking about this yesterday and saddened at the homogenisation of truly local accents ( not just on Tyneside but nationally). Estuary Geordie favoured by local tv presenters and C -list Geordie celebrities leaves me cold. As does Trans-At Geordie (spoken through a permanent wide grin) favoured by local radio presenters.
Probably the most difficult version of regional Geordie I ever encountered was in the late ‘60s was on a visit to Newbiggin near Ashington. ‘A’s were replaced by soft ‘e’s and other vowels were substituted into speech in an apparently random fashion.
Unfortunately the most beautiful of the North -East of England accents, Northumbrian, with its softly rolling ‘r’s has all but disappeared.
I saw in a newspaper article that RP is still the favoured accent for broadcasting and that Geordie is No.9, just below Glaswegian. Least favoured being Cornish.
I still do get a fix of regional accent as ‘Wor lass’ (I’m safe, she never reads my posts) hails from Aberdeen where The Doric is still going strong and ‘Fit fit fits fit fit?’* makes perfect sense.
Off now for my morning buttery- or is it a rowie?
*as heard in a shoe shop as a lady tried on slippers of a style where right and left was not Immediately apparent. The statement translates as ‘which slipper fits onto which foot?’

Just been to pub for the first time since lockdown was eased. On the blackboard it said 'the manager's special '.
He looked a bit like Harry Redknapp, but I wouldn't have gone that far.

The government in england have banned people in the North from visiting other people's houses.
Half of Liverpool have now lost their 'job'.
