is it worchester, or worcester?

always very intrigued by how leicester is pronounced le'ster, bicester as bi'ster, and worcester as woo'ster (bertie and jeeves, anyone?). yes i know, blogging about this realisation is perhaps 2 years late; it's something one learns in britain first and foremost (how not to embarrass yourself when asking the bus driver: does this bus go to leicester square?).
i always wondered if chester is pronounced 'h'ster or just a simple 'ster.

and yes, as kai says, 'someone has been a very LAZY blogger.'

been reading essays written by chs boys from 70 years back; it seems that the affliction of datelessness and desperation has a long long history.
teenage angst = writing about love, falling in and out of love, being romantic, etc.
but in the days of communist infiltration, teenage angst = arguing that love is a bourgeois affectation. (i kid you not. ask me nicely and i will show you notes taken from a Sin Chew Jit Poh literary supplement written by a chs boy and student council member.) and, of course, the revolutionary masses do not date, only the sons of capitalists do.
---> i wonder if i dare conclude in my dissertation: 'school council members in 1930 display a remarkable tendency to be single, desperate, and ugly.'

an unfortunate piece of news to break: MDA has censored the website www.chick.com .
(no, it's not porn. it's a website dedicated to the publication of fundamentalist christian comic books aimed to stop readers from thinking. it's 'chick' because the guy who writes them is called jack chick. yes, unfortunate name. no, he doesn't deserve our pity. sometimes it's so ridiculous you really do wonder if it's meant to be a joke.)
no wonder i haven't been able to access it for months.
and what's so unfortunate about it?
well, first and foremost, i can't laugh at other people's fears of a catholic-communist-jewish conspiracy to take over the world.
there's a secret computer database in the vatican which stores the names of all protestants, worldwide.
and the next pope is going to be an antichrist.
seriously.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
