I don't know..

You boyz - you'll start up a big ol' argument, or flouncathon, over anything wont'cha??

I know zero about football*
So when I took a look I thought the 'hun' bit was a reference to 'huntastic'..

You know that sub genre where people take the piss out of the 'alright babes' home makeover gang, who like to stick sparkly fablon all over their houses..

Ooo it's a 'cultural minefield' right enough..


*Why not come on over to the broccoli thread and we can chat about soil conservation, n cover crops. ..

Much more interesting 🌻🌻🌻🌻🙂🌻🌻💚

'Bagpuss'?

A popular 1970s/80s children's entertainer not yet disgraced, m'lud, but you may know him better from his second career as "Chairman Miao". https://web.archive.org/web/20110317011652/http://www.oliverpostgate.co.uk/intro.html

I do like it when people come on threads about football to say they don't care about it.

But the thread isn't about football, or it didn't start out about football, its about someone getting their knickers in a twist about a word they don't like on a CC thread that happens to be about football.

Has anyone put their heating on yet?

It's 22.4°C here, why'd the heating be on?

I am happy to confirm that I do not. Case dismissed.

I didn't even know that we had a member called Bagpuss. I am so disappointed this isn't about the TV show. Who do I complain to ?

Yes! It was off for 2 days but now it is back on...

Not the central heating though. I finally have some windows open in the house to get some fresh air in but not in this room. I have a 3/4 kW convector heater on a low thermostat setting to just take the chill off the room.

It's 22.4°C here, why'd the heating be on?

This house is poorly insulated - it was only 15.4°C in here before I put the heater on. Fine if on my feet, moving around doing things, but a bit chilly when sitting down for hours using a laptop. It is up to 17.5°C now.

The Mouse Organ I think. They have a committee to review such stuff

Well, this is depressing, to log in and find a libellous thread directed at yourself and your moderating collegues.

Looking up the report, the post in question isn't the one that I expected (and not the one you've all been talking about). I don't know where to go next with this because, yes, I can see where you are coming from @Chislenko - there is an insult there - however I think you are overreacting. Nobody else has seen fit to report it or has picked up on it even after scouring the mentioned thread for it.

If you choose to leave because of this that is your prerogative. I however resent the racist tag being bandied about simply because a moderator didn't instantly do your bidding.
