When does a historic term become needlessly out dated? Why is the term, midget, referenced from an insect, differ from fly-half rugby players, a flyweight or a bantamweight boxer?. Why is midget a more pejorative term than dwarf? Who decides? Who is the arbiter of good taste that gave them the authority. Now I read the state coach of the Netherlands has been declared inappropriate due to some obscure association it has with their colonial days I for one am heartily sick of hypocritical liberal no-alls telling me I should feel guilt for something that happened long ago.

Why do they feel the need to mention skin colour. The first Asian woman to walk solo to the South Pole is described, not as Asian, but as a woman of colour - totally meaningless.

I'd like to see the bonus for the M&S marketing manager that came up with midget/mini idea? Talk about free advertising Wonder if they will put them on the top shelf? Sugar Puffs look out.

Its OK for people to push to get rid of Johnson but who is going to replace him? It will be the same unseen group pushing the same agenda led by a new Figure head. The future of British democracy concerns me.

Trial by media these days. The sleazier, the better. The Plaintiff, as I understand it, was quite happy to accept large amounts of money from the perpetrator, Epstein. Not only that, she was quite willing to introduce her young friends to him, lured by the promise of yet more money. She knew what would befall them. Should there not be some case brought against her for her actions? Another hefty payment was accepted to buy her silence. Now, it seems, she will want more than a substantial financial settlement because she wants to be 'vindicated'. Personally, I would want

Been off this site for a while, mainly because I'm involved in other (FB) groups, mainly concerning Nottingham, Mods & Music.............Hope all of those I know/knew on here are well.

BAME, black and minority ethnic, is being brought into question now. 'People of colour' is acceptable but 'coloured people' apparently isn't. Depending on the company you're with you can be walking on eggshells every time you open your mouth. I'm of an age where I don't give a stuff!

A bit of useless information for yer, fortune cookies were not invented in China, but in San Francisco.

Will Johnson resign? Will he be pushed? 'Partygate', is just another in a whole series of issues, which are not just PR disasters for the Tories, but clear confirmation of what those with a minimum of one functioning brain cell already knew... I.E. The Tory Party is done with any pretence of governing on behalf of all of the electorate., it is, blindingly and obviously only concerned with enriching itself and its backers, and driving this country back to pre WW2 levels of 'them and us', maybe even to Victorian levels.. Of course Johnson was useful as what many were fool

Yeah seriously, why would you be testing with no symptoms, it’s an easy question.

But that rather emphasises my point. Those who join purely for monetary reasons are not really the ones best suited for public service. Intellect alone is not the best metric to measure suitability.

Here is a picture of the chemistry lab at the original Becket school after the building was abandonded. Now it's been knocked down. Becket chemistry lab

The Engineer, what a fascinating and incredible man John Douglas was. I’d never heard of him until now but I’ve just read through the obituary and found his life so interesting.
