Just looked it up, it's a total minefield with no agreement between the various indigenous groups even within one area let alone on a wider scale. Some don't see it as offensive and don't want to be called anything other than Indian as they have been known their whole lives, some want to be called native Americans, some see that as another offensive name as it was chosen by the US government and they can't all be lumped into one group, some see it as racist and to top it off a lot of the words come from Europeans trying to translate the sounds used by the indigenous population into an understandable words. Oh and some object to the use of 'indigenous'.

Or related to someone at the council. That's how the tosspot I leave near manage to achieve all his annoying shite.

Tell us how the name Indian became offensive. Was it the usual route of using the word being used in a derogatory way? Or was it always offensive?

The slightly snotty imbd gives it 8.3 out of 10.

I like the sound of Godless. I wonder if I need to download it now or if satellite wifi doesn't get hammered into single digit download speeds like normal broadband on New Years Day.

That looks completely ridiculous. Did they just have a random number of signs and posts left over?!

My parents barred me from watching Lassie because I always had a complete meltdown crying and shouting noooo when he went the wrong way, which he did in every episode

I love new year since a few years ago when I decided I no longer wanted to go out and it's now one of my favourite food events of the year. Ordered a huge piece of beef for New Years eve which has not turned up so got three smaller but decent joints and am doing leg of lamb n mint sauce, roast crackling pork with apple cider jelly and roast beef with fresh horseradish (never made horseradish sauce before so looking forward to that), red wine n beef dripping gravy plus the usual suspects roast shallots n garlic with a balsamic glaze, Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and buttered green beans. I bought pudding (salted caramel roulade) cos everything starts to look a bit skew whiff by that point and I should stay away from the oven Then New Years day is Eggs Benedict at 10am then it's Platter of Plenty day where all the food goes on the table and stay's there so you can load up your plate and we all watch a film together and graze whenever it takes your fancy. Cheese and crackers with quince Jam, Tsar fillet (essentially a large unsliced chunk of smoked salmon) with a dill and mustard sauce, Houmous and Felucian spread (an excellent black bean houmous recipe), smoked peppered mackerel pate that I only make at Christmas time, chicken liver parfait and bought Ardennes pate, little Asian balls (a combo of blitzed pork and prawn with Chinese flavours), quails eggs with celery salt, whichever breads are best, Quiche (bought from the shops cos I don't like making quiche), two king prawn crowns cos one's never enough, carrot and cucumber batons, baby plum tomatoes and leaves that don't get eaten , more crisps and chocolate than you can shake a stick at and of course cold cuts from the day before with pickles. Can't wait. Anyone recommendations for a film?

I've found that apologising before you cock up speaking someone else's language works wonders, they've forgiven you before the assault on their eardrums even occurs Be aware of the awful point where you start to master the accent but still haven't got a clue. I have no idea what people are saying to me now cos they've sped up..mind you thats quite pleasant

What platform?

Worse than a bunch o school bitches hovering at the gates, same message though, I still dunna care

Lovely pics. Back to normal exercise? While it’s still 2022? Stop shaming everyone

Hope she feels better soon

Good luck!

OHHHHH GOOOOOODDDDDDDD NOOOOOOOOOOOO Are we at the just die if you're going to point now?!! Feels like it.

Sounds like a possibility. The only comfort I can offer is... err.. well a surprising number of people who don't tend to suffer with nasty coughs do a fantastic job of screwing their back up while hacking and umm well if it's just your stomach muscles that hurt then doing the horses has probably protected you from slip disc horror. Cold comfort but that's the best I've got

Almost exactly the same as flu

I knew she wouldn't arrive empty handed. Although I thought it would just be a sour face and childish demeanour Sure it's flu? The next number Covid is doing a fine job flooring peeps at the mo! Everyone I know (apart from in this house currently) is ill.

I so hope so

Evnin' all. Hope you had a good one. Everyones still bloody here, I have a feeling the mass catering will have to continue into the new year Wotcha get then? Anything good?

Congrats Mr B Well deserved

Happy Christmas Eve ️ I left the decorating to the boys, two days ago the youngest managed to put the tree up, looking at the state of them this morning I reckon this could be our full Christmas set up this year

Nothing we don't already know.
