Manchester United Changes Name

After more than 71 years in the top division of English football, reigning English champions and Club World Cup holders Manchester United Football Club have elected to change their name.

"We don't wish to be mistaken for that pillock in Bournemouth with all his daft vampire rubbish", said a ManU spokesperson.

According to officials, Premier League rules require that a club wishing to change its name may do so, however it must use the next available name in the queue; in this case, the Cockermouth Ladyboys. "That's fine with us," commented one member, "anything's better than being associated with a twit carrying wooden stakes and hunting for Count Dracula."

All I can really say is (from limited infomation coming in) that the Club were given the option of changing their name to . . . "Manchester Un-United".

They chose not to do so, but are still 'toying' with the new suggetsed name you 'leaked'.

Apparently, they're none too happy with the 'cockerall birds' tag: but who knows? they'll probably get over that!

They just want to get away from the Manchester tag, really. It might be a City, but then its also become a heven for 'Poffie' Clubs ; so they'te probably just also trying to escape that label!

And really, you'd have to get a long way from Manchester to escape that!

You sure he's not suing for exclusive copyright to the name "Manchester."

I somehow don't see how he could pull that one!

Manchester is the 2nd largest City in the UK, after all. I mean, how can you copyright the name of a
City? It would be like trying to 'copyright' the name 'London'!

But there you are. The old man is clearly 'bonkers', so I suppose he could assume anything!

Sorry Dr. Funk, we don't want to give Bonky an excuse to lodge a spurious "copyright complaint" now do we?

Wow!

Something deleted from here - it must have been pretty scandalous!

Dr Van Funkenstein said...

I find the deletion of my artistic genius, to be an absolute disgrace.
I shall be writing a strong letter of complaint to Mr B.Gates and demanding compensation for his so called Windows Paint.
Windows Paint?
More like Windows Pervy Sexual Beastiality Fakery.

It's disgusting that it should only take 10 seconds for me to put together such a vile image, and even less seconds for you to remove it.

You shall be hearing from my legal advisor, Mr D.Crawford.

I propose a simple solution Dr. VF. Take your ouvre to Net Knickers Lurkers blog, they'll publish anything, and owner Ricky Gervais doesn't give a toss about Bonky's "copyright" complaints!

Don't think you can sweeten me up like that.


My legal team are currently playing poker, but expect to hear from them soon.
