# Is that Patricia Swayze, the shop assistant from Lincoln...
...who is in no way related to Patrick Swayze the actor, and who is utterly sick of being asked about him?


In a similar way to how I feel when people say "Kerry? That's a girl's name, innit?"

# Well that would be telling.
Best conversation EVAH, with O2:

O2: "Are you authorised to talk about this account?"
Me: "Yes... I am Kerry Mountain"
O2: "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I just saw Kerry and assumed you were a.. girl. And now I'm really hoping you're a man... And not just... a girl... with a really... deep... voice"

It was the way her voice trailed off as she realised what she was saying that made me laugh =D
