The Raptor 1,526 Posted March 21 I'm not fussed about the tick. What I am fussed about is all the ridiculous flavours of hot cross bun you can get now. That is much worse. Hot cross bun flavor only please 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then another bunch of ungrateful people will start singing 'Always look on the bright side of life'. He'll wish he never bothered. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't need it but I think we are going to continue to receive it. I think in a small way it's meant to divide people, though I wonder if this is intentional. .... Post a headline and sit back and enjoy the arguments. Just start a thread with "Meanwhile...." because that does the trick😄 Without CC maybe the site will become far less active though. He provides a throughput of material! And finally, maybe the best way of responding (to absolutely anything) is just with humour.

What you're referring to is the first Wednesday in September, officially known as Woke Wednesday. If you want to mark your calendar, the 3rd Friday in July is officially 'Bl00dy hell, Christmas gets earlier and earlier each year Friday'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
