is calling Santa "father Christmas" discriminatory?

This sort of thing gets filed away in a part of my brain that is labelled 'Complete Arsewater'.

[Zacs-Master]

I don't even bother filing it.

The newspaper article is about how some think the title Father Christmas should be banned. It's even in it's title ! But fair enough, we all knew if was the bearded lady earning some extra dosh for xmas on the side.

Some people have too much time in their hands. He is a male partner in a heterosexual relationship co -parenting elves, providing shelter and exercise to animals whose numbers have fallen significantly in recent years. He is generally unemployed only taking seasonal jobs although he is on retainer with the Coca cola company. Having been described as an elf himself it is likely he is of mixed race but presents as appropriate to his differing client bases. He has trouble getting loans because of his multiple aliases but is a home owner in a quiet and cool neighbourhood.

Why do some people insist on erasing all the joy from life? And why do we listen? Better to tell them straight and have done with it. Bog off 'cos we like 'happy'. Go boil your head!

It could well be serious, but I also wouldn't be surprised if the person complaining was actually just making a joke.

Either way, the correct response is to have a little chuckle, then forget about it and carry on as normal.

Astonishing that a conversation on Facebook can be dressed up as a news story.

This morning I disagreed with a colleague over what the ending of the movie 1917 meant.

Awaiting a call from the United Nation.

There's not much going on at the minute sp. Just Brexit, a general election, and the impeachment of the American president.

Pathetic isn’t it?

Yesterday, Piers Morgan tried to sell a story that a poll revealed that 27% of people had demanded that Father Christmas be gender neutral.

That wasn’t true.

27% of the responders to the poll said they would be ‘open to it’. They weren’t demanding it. However this is the way that it was misrepresented.

There are so many people ready and waiting to soil themselves over issues that have been presented to them as issues simply because they want to object to hot air.

For God’s sake. Look at this ‘story’. An unnamed woman allegedly gets someone criticising her on Facebook and this is treated as news!!!
