If anyone was an exhibitionist, I'd have thought it would be Zippy!

Ah, Zip it! Mad Doug, or you might Bungle George's attempt to come 'out' as LGBT+.
Always had my doubts but that lot, Geoffrey included.
The things you watch when you are doing College, .....Thunder cats and He- man was another top watch !

George was renamed Georgette in later episodes.

You've only just noticed? 🤔

Anyway, being able to imagine more than one reality is not necessarily the sole preserve of the 'loon'.

Thank you.
Like multitasking not everyone can engage with synchronous multi - reality

Neither of those bands have "The" in the name. Most of their album covers just say "Eagles" or "Rolling Stones", and I thinmk they should know.

I did say "most" of their album covers, because there are occasional ones which do have "The".

Does anybody here actually buy hot cakes? Not sure I’ve ever really wanted one. Never been a bakers and saw some nice cakes but asked how hot they are.

So no idea why they are famed for their popularity.

You'll be lucky to see one. They go quickly, apparently.

Not hot cakes, but buy warm sourdough bread from the coop every couple of days. Wonderful with a bit of butter and honey for breakfast

The English language has words from Anglo-Saxon, Norse, Old French, Latin and Greek, but hardly any from Ancient British, which would be some language like Welsh or Cornish. Why is that?

I was always told that a lot of words were kept that the workers used for things they had but the rich didn;t

for example the animal is a cow from the Old English before the Normans - the food is beef from French
I was also told that a lot of swear words were Anglo Saxon words for body parts and the like
e.g. f**k - perfectly normaly activity but the old word for it became a rude word

No idea if any of that is true
