WHY WHY WHY would anyone suggest renaming manchester to "peoplechester"?

| I think that sounds pretty fair... Peoplechester Piccadilly is a bit of a mouthful though. |

Although it should probably be Personchester, not Peoplechester, as 'man' is singular and does that mean it should also be Personsfield instead of Mansfield and um... any other man-related places? Alternatives could also be Gender-neutralchester, Hermaphrochester or Humanchester. That's probably a bit silly. At least it wouldn't propagate the oppressive patriarchal regime though! Should probably do some revision now, clearly thinking too much about this. |

I'd miss the oppressive patriarchal regime. You women can piss off to plain old Chester, maybe call it Bitchester or something??
Why's it raining? Yes I'm in work and I'm bored bored bored! This is my 9th night in a row. This week has been stupidly busy but tonight is dead so I'm gonna watch a bit of Ironside and whatever other crap they decide to put on at this time of night and think about how much I'm being paid to sit on my arse and do nothing - it's like being on benefits but I get less and have to pay tax
Oh well suppose it'll all be worth it when I'm deep underwater looking at a selection of rusty metal, or drinking with Pat and Charles in the hotel. I hope they remember to attach the kill cord to the boat though. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they forgot? _________________ Daz
