About this deal

Was wondering if anyone know's the the above phrase means, i get thats it's a Gordie bersion of 'Whats Up', but dont get the 'fettle' bit, where did this come from? It made me think about how much different it would have been if written otherwise (how much less effective? In fact you could play it as a fast single reel if you simply speed up and straighten out the rhythm.

The dialogue is all rendered in the form of dialogue, so it's all "Divven't do that, gadgie mister", and "Howay" etc etc. Forced together and immediately locked in conflict, an inarticulate tenderness develops between the old man and the boy. He has written three previous novels, The Season Ticket , winner of the Betty Trask Prize and filmed as Purely Belter, The Lottery and Give Us This Day. People over fifty stil refer to giving something a good 'fettling' meaning a good scrub to get it clean, but like all expressions from our industry, it will die out. There are a number of subplots built in, such as the slow revelation of why the grandfather and daughter are estranged, and Macca's desire to use the bonny lad as a mule again.And if anyone thinks the portrayal of Gateshead is overwrought, read Danziger's Britain, and prepare to be depressed about the state of modern Britain.

When he mother can't deal with him, he's sent off to stay with one of an informal group of neighborhood women who desperately try to raise the unwanted children of the ghetto. In any case, the story was heart-warming if not slightly predictable, and you did end up loving both main characters. For fans of The Season Ticket, several characters from that make appearances here, including the aforementioned Macca, as well as Gemma, Rusty, and even Sewell. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. I agree with celticrichie that it sounds great as a GHB strathspey, and it’d be good as a highland fling too.

This 'why aye bonny lad' mug from the Moorland Pottery Original Scraffito range by Jonathan Plant is individually produced with Jonathan’s authentic Scraffito design technique. The most common "translation" for what fettle is how are you and bonny lad is a term of endearment meaning nice, handsome, etcetera. But the dominant question is what the old man is going to do with this wild boy and whether, through him, he can find hope and meaning at the end of a lifetime of suffering. The Bonny Lad celebrates the redemptive power of love with humour and poignancy, without flinching form counting its cost.

I'm just watching 'Our Friends in the North' , a drama shown on the BBC in the 90's about a group of people living in Newcastle.Because He Was A Bonnie Lad, The Bonnie Boy, The Bonny Boy, Gin He Was A Bonny Lad, Gin I Was A Bonny Lad. For both of them, however, this new relationship is increasingly threatened by forces from the past. At first I thought the written Geordie dialect would put me off but after a few pages I soon got used to it and was soon sounding like a Geordie in my head. The Grandfather, who didn't previously know of his existence, is infirm, an ex-miner suffering from what I took to be vibration white finger. Full of character and wit, our Geordie ware has become the favoured mug for thousands of Geordie folk.
