That's a cracker Mate ! . I'm a scouser , and we've spread all over the globe ! , but if the bugger freezes over , i know who'll thaw out quicker , I think it's down to having a alcohol / blood balance , far superior to ours i guess ? .

i agree with it all im a scot too ! .... but you forgot the x factor the geordie, i used to go to newcastle on a regular basis in the winter and by god them buggers are hard. i would go out on a saturday night like nanook of the north, and all the girls were wearing clothes you could'nt make a hankie out of, and the lads were in short sleeve shirts, way eye man... no offence !!!

You only need to look on the terrace of St James's park , on any given freezing match day , to see them all , bare chested , Geordies have either got anti freeze for blood or booze !
Probably the latter !
