My Geordie accent is quite mild, as are my parents because we all had correct pronunciation drummed into us as children.
Here is a link to a Geordie dictionary, the dialect is actually mainly influenced by Viking and Anglo Saxon languages.
I can speak "broad" thick geordie, you probablywouldn't understand a word I was saying, I am still proud of it because it is so old and part of the culture.

Edit: How about a thread dedicated to everyone sharing a sample of themselves speaking?
