George moved from Greece in 2002 to study in Newcastle Upon Tyne. After successfully completing a Degree course and qualifying as some sort of chemist he was due to return back home to join the Greek army, but he really didn't fancy that. Fortunately for George it turned out that he has quite the grasp of the English language, and also the fine art of comedy, including his witty observations on dating Geordie lasses and helpful translations of everyday Geordie phrases.
