    Tangentially related- My name is the same as that of a 1970s song title and chorus and I worked in a place where a co-worker spoke that line to me every time he saw me every single day. I wanted to kill him by the time I left. I also hate that song. And no, I won’t tell you what song.

        I’ll just say that it was not Mandy by Barry Manilow. Because they didn’t name boys Mandy back then.

        EDIT: No wait, there’s Mandy Patinkin. Anyway, my name isn’t Mandy.

        Manchester being a English city in the North West. The “Second City” of the UK. Birthplace of New Order, Oasis and Happy Mondays.
