Doing a great job Trapper. Funny as
Welcome to the boards Somer.
A word of advice: Don’t take anything personally….except the nice stuff.
Must admit, this has been one of the more enjoyable threads for quite a while.
Thank you Mr Trapper, it’s very much appreciated.
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is a stonking read. (Fiction)
Status Anxiety by Alain de Botton is also worth a go. (Non-fiction)

Take heed and change it immediately, Scep….
I have a mug with a golly on it. It’s just another mug. I bought it years ago because it reminded me of my childhood and the gollys on the side of jars of Robertson’s marmalade.
Although it was bought for nostalgic reasons, I’d never take it to work to use, mainly because of fear of offending others.
I do wonder however, if white people err on the side of caution unnecessarily. Is it white people who decide what black people would find offensive, or is it black people themselves? I often wonder.
My daughter had a black boyfriend a few years ago, he went to make a cup of tea and saw said mug in the cupboard. He brought it out and said ‘God, haven’t seen a golly in years’ and promptly used it then and each time afterwards. Was he offended by it? I don’t think so and no offence was intended.
The problem I think, is perception.
Just thought I’d bring some attention back to this thread so there will be no reason to taint the others. (And yes, I know it won’t work, but there’s no harm in trying.)
Was it as long ago as the 90s? Time flies.
