That's a very strange reality that you're inhabiting, there.

As for the likelihood of strangers talking to each other, just yesterday while browsing in the bread aisle of my local Sainsburys a guy broke out into a big yawn while doing the same. "Are we keeping you up?" I asked. We then had a brief conversation about the freshness of the bread (comparing dates). Never met him before. Will probably never meet him again.

It may well be true in London, but London is not a synonym of Britain.

I believe she has now spawned with some awful yank singer.

That is the loosest use of the word "singer" I have ever heard. No, he is a shit rapper that spews out pop noise pollution for the masses but considers himself a musical genius.

Their procreation marks two of the nastiest spots in the gene pool merging together to form some sort of abomination.

Not to mention they named their offspring North West... I'm all for "different" names, my kids are Finnegan and Huckleberry, but come on... A direction? An airline? Not what one should name one's daughter.

The worst part is I'm certain Kanye thought he was being clever with that one.

Do you call Huckleberry "Huck" for short?

As you're talking about names... have a watch of this recent abomination.

Finnegan is a fine name!

Probably Berry, just because I know someone who goes by Berry. Huck would just be annoying.

James Joyce would be proud.

Lol, the Finnegan's Wake that I think of is a pub I'm fond of in Winston-Salem where a glass of Guinness is considered both acceptable "breakfast food" and "an appetizer."
