Tyne is on a mission to prove that there are Geordies all over the
world. Ok, so we may be slightly cheating with this one, but Tony
was in the Sahara for a while AND he is definitely a Geordie! |

Greetings
from the middle of the (DRY) Sahara
Tony Gilmore from Wallsend, here for Xmas then back to Thailand
where I have moved with my Chinese wife Ling Ling.
We tried sunny down town Wallsend but as Ling Ling is not
waterproof, had to opt for the even sunnier Hua Hin and a
little piece of paradise.
Been working round the Middle East for the last 20 years but
always returned to the Toon for all my leave periods as I
missed the crack, the lads, the club, Carville and Penny Wet,
peas puddin and stottie and golf in the rain.
Though I have worked with Geordies every country I've been,
and thats not a few.The travelling Geordie is a wonder to
behold, and there are little Geordie lands all over the planet
so you're never really far from home - except if you are in
the middle of the Sahara for Xmas.
However,
I just bumped into my mates brother from Whitley Bay about
50 miles east of me last week !!!
