The fact you didn't see them means they did their job correctly 🤔🤓

I'll admit that humour (even poor humour)/intonation/etc are often lost in email/digial screen....but blimey, you must be an absolute hoot at parties....

LOL. I assumed "of colour" was in the same bracket as "coloured" - i.e. it's a no-no...


I'm inclined to call this a "stealth chopper". And I'm very curious to hear more!

It wouldn't have been funny however you had said it.

Your comedy bar is set fine I reckon.

But others? righteous comments might cause one to question that, bravo you for openly asking!

I?m a hoot for sure but given your past posts and your overtone of racism you aren?t funny and it wasn?t funny. It was childish.

I don't normally rush to the cat's defence but a bit of an over-reaction here.


I spend time challenging those who make the silly "oh that is politically correct" comments, which essentially belies their casual homophobia, transphobia, racist, etc etc views. But they live in Bromley where that is the norm. I get an old school friend talking about 'virtual signalling' and having a go at the BBC and many of the adverts for dis-proportionally using ethnic minorities, something that I don't notice or even care about. And again I think middle England casual racism.


But on this occasion I just think it is banter/stirring up debate. No need to be so po faced.


I could do the same in respect to not using terms such as black sheep of the family, the dark side etc etc.


I do cringe at times with Seth MacFarlane, who seems to do his upmost to use stereotypes and the like. His defence of the reference to Down's Syndrome and Sara Palin was that he is an equal opportunity offender. But I look back on some of the terms I would have used, thinking they were quite harmless in previous years, with a bit of a shudder. https://abcnews.go.com/WN/sarah-palin-family-guy-controversy-rages/story?id=9898355


Sorry this thread has mutated. See what you have done Cat?

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      By bonaome · Posted

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      Bitey Fox.

      By SophieA · Posted

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
