So how would this be different from the Geordie Bible?

Geordies are the true Brits, cockneys are a mix of everything that isn't British.

Cockney is recognisable as English. Geordie is not recognisable as a human language. Like.:O:

Thanks. There's a lot of weird stuff in the "straight' Bible too. There's a verse that goes basically "if you haven't got an old fella you can't go into church". Not an exact quote but that's what it says.
Will look it up for you and post.

Here we go. 4 Deut. 23:1 "He that is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD".

Someone writing Revelations had a thing about harps:

Revelation 14:2

And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps

You keep harping on those harping harpers and their harping harps. What the harp did they ever harping do to you? :O:

I recall some years ago there was a series of programs on PBS about the origins, development, and variations of the English language. One of the interesting bits of information put forth in the series was the assertion that Cockney was the "Standard English" spoken up until the formalization of the language in England to what is now known as the "King's/Queen's English". Apparently, the persons involved in the standardization/formalization of the language were of the "upper crust" and nobility and they sought to distinguish themselves from the "hoi polloi" by discarding Cockney as the norm and enforcing their rather stiltied and rigidly structured spoken forms as the "new" and "proper" English...

Here is something to mull over:

Isn't Geordie the glaelic word for Southern Scotland?

I met Warren Mitchell once when he was in Australia during the 1980's. He still holds dual citizenship in both the UK and Australia.
