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.

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

  3. 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.

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

    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.

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

  8. 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.
