    If someone of unknown gender stole a bicycle for example, and I had to inform someone of it, I would just say:

    'someone stole a bike'

    'a person stole a bike'

    Both of which are gender neutral pronouns.

                Kingston is my favorite, because despite what most people think, there are still remnents of the "old" city left... its fascinating to me.

                  Mmmm, it does sound nice though, I haven't had an exotic holiday in years (I've been around Northern Europe a bit though, but only briefly).

                    I've heard it can be a bit rough, although yeah, I've heard there are some very nice parts. My mate was on about that he lived in an area of London called Forest Hill, which is a really exclusive area in Kingston.



                    I remember that at one point that there were three people from Kingston sat there in the coffee room on the same table...all from different Kingstons. I am from Kingston-upon-Hull, another from Kingston-upon-Thames and another from Kingston, Jamaica...

                            'Hir' was actually proposed by Dr. Timothy Leary around 30-40 years ago.

                                Well he was f**king wrong! Give 'em a PhD in a mickey mouse subject and they think they know something.

                                Yeah, but it was hard for him to find a decent career in his sector (pharmacy) so hence he ended up over here with the various R&D facilities. I think we could do with more researchers of his enthusiasm too
