"We're also banning 'wiggling', 'jiggling', and 'wriggling', just to be on the safe side".

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

About Me
- Cro Magnon
- I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching). Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
No kidding!
ReplyDeleteApparently so! I now just sit and wait for the next crazy pronouncement.
DeleteI ran out of patience with the PC crew long ago - this is just blardy ridiculous! No sniggering now!!
ReplyDeleteThere's crazy and crazy; this is CRAZY!
DeleteCould be worse. They could have started with Banking, Thanking, Ranking and .........
ReplyDeleteJust be grateful you're not called Nigel; all Nigels will soon have to call themselves Kevin.
DeleteDiggle is a place near Oldham. It's a suggestive name and ought to be changed to something like Chastity.
ReplyDeleteOr to Piddle, as in the Dorset river.
DeleteDid I miss something?
ReplyDeleteLikewise...I have no idea what any of these are!
DeleteAs far as I understand, Ms Wintour of Vogue magazine has banned the word 'Niggling', which she seems to find racist (goodness knows why). The above is simply a cartoon celebrating her lunacy.
Delete👍
DeleteIt's as clear as day follows nig--- the hours between sunset and sunrise.
ReplyDeleteBe careful... darkness and light are filled with connotations.
DeleteYou're being enigmatic.
DeleteHonestly - you don't know whether to laugh or cry these days!
ReplyDeleteA combination of both helps!
DeleteCro, as long as you read more papers than the Daily Mail you shall remain on the straight and narrow, and I shall forgive you.
ReplyDeleteTo add to many an example, I am most disenchanted that, in these times of equal rights, actresses are now actors. What is politically correct when the (hu)MAN rules as woman's job description? Give it time and children won't know what to call the female part of their parents!
Call me Mister,
U
I believe it was Newcastle University who said recently that we should no longer refer to 'Mothers and Fathers', but to 'Guardians'. Nothing is sacred.
DeleteI think I might be getting Tourettes - I keep wanting to blurt out all these forbidden words!
ReplyDeleteI think that's half the trouble with their mission; we all want to show how much we disapprove!
