This might help:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You'll_Never_Walk_Alone

It helps on the YNWA, not so much on the G.

I got used to it with ColinYNWA, but I'm afraid I always read Dave's as "gynae" (I work in medical insurance, so gynae is a commonly used abbreviation   :-[) Where's the G come fom?

Fungus

Isn't that likely to be a surname? You'd think?

I tied to correct a typo but ended up quoting the whole post!

So, I'd be MarkHYNWA. Except that I generally do walk alone, so I guess I'd be MarkHIGWA.

I think it might be the smell.

What's the deal with pedestrian flows being the reverse of traffic flows? I spend my days trudging a giant circular route around the horrifically crowded city centre, and it's become apparent that pedestrians 'drive' on the right.  This places their backs to the oncoming traffic when they are nearest the kerb, which seems utterly crazy.  My current theory is that the bulkiest and slowest foot traffic are tourists from Europe or the States, and walk as they drive, thus setting the direction of flow for everyone else.  Any advances on that?

Also: I hate people.

Feck. Still not getting it. Is it 'generally'?

And Tordel, you're right. The city centre is a fucking nightmare to walk around,  particularly right now when they're extending the Luas lines. And why do Spanish students stand in the middle of narrow pedestrian thoroughfares to have their conversations? It's enough to make you rachelist. (I taught them for ten years. I KNOW.)

You're going out there to destroy them, right? Not to study. Not to bring back. But to wipe them out.

In relation to recent events elsewhere - can I add the inevitable comment here that I'M FOREVER GLAD that Tordelback is back amongst us to offer brilliantly measured words during times of crisis?

Never leave us again, sir. I know nothing of your real name or appearance but I imagine you to be a wise kingly figure or a kindly hermit type. Or some amalgam of the two.

If you're actually Donald Trump I'll be extremely perturbed.
