Fuck, that was a sick run. Loved the stale to tail.

I think she is so fucking sick.

Yep Lily rules

By that logic, loads of names should be changed in order to make touristsā€™ life easier.

Get off the Piccadilly line at Glo-stuh Road tube station, walk towards the Natural History Museum, on your way there get a bottle of Wu-steh sauce from Sainsburyā€™s and think about your next holiday in Too-son, Arizona and Newport, Arkansa, or do the decent thing and fuck off to Edinbra.

Oh and by the way Iā€™m pretty sure itā€™s Des Ormeaux, not Desā€™Ormeaux, but that article was rad. Itā€™s about time the industry respects peopleā€™s names!

Well, no. That argument is the opposite of what is being said here.
Gloucester Road is perfectly pronounceable by the locals. That is always fine.
Its that foreign stuff which is wrong. We donā€™t understand that and we donā€™t want to understand that. So, change your weird Tancredi surname to something English can read easily, please. Tanc. Done.

I get all that because Americans can be ignorant as fuck (we all can) but It lost all credibility when it says ā€œin the year of our lordā€ what does that actually mean? Nothing, thatā€™s what.
It smacks of people getting bothered on others behalf. Some skaters might be stoked to have a nickname as it will help them be remembered and potentially sell more if money is a concern. Others could be harbouring resentment and seething quietly about it so yes, itā€™s absolutely an issue that needs addressing.

Pointless anti religion post but whatever

ā€œin the year of our lordā€ is just twitterspeak for ā€œhow is this still going onā€

Not that many people listen to a word that Chris Roberts says but, for those who do, has anyone noticed how he is unable, (or unwilling to try), to pronounce so many peopleā€™s names? It would seem that he can pronounce American skaters names without much bother and if he does get it wrong itā€™s because itā€™s intentional and part of his tedious ā€˜funny guyā€™ schtick. But if the skater isnā€™t from the US, regardless of how simple their name may be, heā€™s stumped. Mario Rubalcaba or Mike Rusczyk will just trip off his tongue but if heā€™s talking about Dave Smith from Finland or Bob Jones from Tasmania he canā€™t even begin to try to get it right and just seems dumbfounded. Itā€™s just so lazy. The level of befuddlement when he encounters a Japanese skaterā€™s name is cranked up to 11. With the US being a country of immigrants loads of people have ā€˜foreignā€™ sounding names but provided they have a US passport olā€™ Crob wonā€™t have a problem with it. Itā€™s not difficult.More often than not itā€™s just a case of say what you see, just sound it out like a six year old ya dummy.

So no religious connotation then? well who knew! what a shite phrase.

Itā€™s been around for years. Itā€™s even in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegasā€¦.

Reminds me of the intro for this too.

His written text is tongue in cheek and quite amusing. Itā€™s not religious. ā€œIn the year of our lordā€¦ā€ is a piss takey way of him basically saying ā€œI sound like an old man moaningā€.
Heā€™s a great writer.
Read the whole piece. It works just fine in context and certainly doesnā€™t come across as someone who is bothered. Which your text does, in context. :kissing_heart:

PS. Fuck religion.
