NO NO NO... THATS A SUNDERLAND JOKE !!!! NOT A GEORDIE JOKE !!!!
Something to do with during the war (2nd World War i think) a german
airplane was shot down and crashed onto the beach (or somewhere near) and
when the locals went to find the german pilot they found a monkey running
around, and hung the monkey as a german.
I don't know how accurate this story is, as i asked a few peeps at work who
come from or near that area of the UK, but it is Sunderland, not Newcastle
oh well.. a good try anyway <grin>
The war was the Napolionic Wars and the plane was a French one, probably
a Mirage or something similar. They knew the monkey was a foreign spy
because it didn't speak English and it wasn't in uniform.....using the
same logic they also paused on the way back to town to hang three sheep,
an acacia tree and a small jar of pitted olives.
Luckily this saved England from the onslaught of the French as one of
the Sheep was actually working for the French Secret service and had
mapped out the entire East coast defenses of England and knitted them
carefully into the wool on its bck. The plan was to ship it to France
under the cover of darkness dishuised as a rug but in the event the
natives ate the sheep and used its coat as a bedspread. You can still
see the bedspread in the Victoria and Albert Museum.

I heard this was something to do with Hartlepool, they certainly include
it in pamphlets from their tourist information centre.

I really hope you are taking the piss! The Napolionic wars were in the
1800's more than a hundred years before the wright brothers flew. More
than 175 years before any mirages flew!

That's just american propaganda. Dassault built its first Mirage in
1807. The only reason they didn't use them as a weapon against the rest
of Europe is that Napoleon thought they would only have a use as
childrens toys or, in batches of three, flown across he sky at public
celebrations. Or was that the chinese and gunpowder? I get really
confused sometimes.

Sorry, I didn't realise they had take it off display. I am sure if you
make an appointment they'd get it out specially for you.

Just tell him that Newcastle football sucks, that usually pisses a
geordie off? Actually, that pretty much works for all of England!)
I did wonder about what happend to the rest of it...I knew that the
remains were stored in a tea chest under the Louvre and couldn't see how
they fitted a whole one in....its amazing how your history can be
destroyed by a stray shell and a pack of hungry citizens.....

Dr John H. Greensmith
Man asks Geordie barman: "Have you got a bottle of water?"
"Why, is there something wrong with your radiator?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On "Mastermind", Magnus Magusson asks:
"Now Geordie, do you know who built the ark?"
"Why no-ah!"
"Correct."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Geordie at Queen's garden party. The Queen says: "Now Geordie, would you
like a cake or a meringue?" [non-geordies "or am I wrong"?]
Geordie replies: "Yer not wrang[wrong] bonny lass, I'll have a bit' cake
with you."

Did you understand what I said? Therefore was the communication

If you answered yes to all three then I'm glad my posting made a small
