Sorry - no.

This is fun. . .

We've turned the page so I'll put it up again. Got everything - geology, heavy lifting, a (missing ) plaque. . .
Pans was right, on is first post - they're taking it away rather than bringing it. .

Found it, who'd have thought they could accuse a rock of being racist...

Well done Kev. You are the winner - (again !)

Symbol of racism removed

First it was Guy Gibson's dog and now it's a rock that has to change it's name! I've just googled `nigger rock' and among the results are ones for Madison University. But when I click on them instead of the uni page I get a warning about the European Area GDPR!

I found THIS. All because of an article written in 1925! The world has gone mad.

What do you think your contribution to a course at an American University would look like today? Would you have to make changes to the content and delivery? What do Bob and Martha think about such matters, or would they (probably wisely) not want to comment.

And you think you are living in a land of free speech! What gets me is that these people would still be living in mud huts in the African jungle but for the slave trade. Perhaps they should be celebrating their good fortune.

Not a lot different David, they were pretty hot on gender etc 40 years ago. They gave me a bit of leeway in many ways because I was regarded as 'ethnic' and a rough diamond by the Regents.



What's the dialect term for this activity in Barlick?

Voyeurism

No.

I've heard of "covering" of sheep by rams. Boaring?

Rutting? As in stags?

Mares get covered, bitches get lined, cows get bulled, sheep get tupped. What is it for pigs?

You're all shy or genuinely don't know. Can't really give a clue. If there is no response later this morning I shall eddificate you.....
(I'll bet nobody can remember who used the Heddificate the hignorant masses on the Home Services. Two questions for the price of one!)

Humped?

You're moving towards it Cathy but not there yet. It's a very local thing.

Any thing to do with a pigs penis being spiral?

Not to my knowledge Cathy but that is certainly true. I can see where you are coming from with that one. I wonder if that's the origin of the euphemism 'to screw'? Whatever, that's not the answer....
(Well done for persisting....)

Hunting?

Or grunting...

Piggered?

I came across the word ‘piffling’, but I thought maybe‘boaring’. ?

Sorry no, I shall give it another hour but nobody has got it yet. (Good isn't it.... )

Service?

Didn't want to say anything but I always thought the TV comedy 'Are you being served ' was a bit risque.
