Tripe

There is much in this life that depresses me. The idea that any part of Salford could be re-named "MediaCityUK" provokes a long howl of despair.


They'll be making tripe trendy next.

Sir Jos Fosdyke would be spinning in his grave.

"Media CityUK" IS tripe!
Like the fat-headed idea someone had down here for a city called Multifunctionpolis.
Together, we'll howl.

dinahmow: I'd love to think that was a joke!

Tripe is exceptionally trendy here in Transylvania, Kevo. Tripe soup, to be precise - a bit like munching your way through a pair of John Major's boiled underpants, but the pinacle of Romanian cuisine none the less.

There's always someone worse off than yourself, Gadjo!

Tripe can never be trendy. It's a fact. And the wv is 'dorks'. That's also a fact.

Madame DeF: Mint.

Sadly, the MFP (sometimes written:Emeffpee) was a very real threat. The city will probably still eventuate, but I think(hope) saner heads will choose its name.

Did you heart about that town in Kansas that renamed itself "Google" for a day?

Kevin Musgrove said...

dinahmow: they'd only need a couple of weeks' worth of the lower elements' interpretation of "MFP" to learn the error of their ways!

BrightenedBoy: indeed. Mind you, knowing some of the people of Kansas I can't help thinking that strong drink and a fit of the giggles were involved somewhere along the line.
