Alphabet associations - I

[Nick Armstrong]

I was once upbraided in committee for using the term 'Black' when referring to people. "Why the capital letter?" I was asked - "we don't use a capital in other instances."

It was one occasion when I was in advance of l'esprit d'escalier and managed to respond "well only with God and the Queen'. As the Comittee had close connections with both institutions I got away with that one

You think you've got problems?! My beloved gazed over my shoulder one afternoon and spake:
"That Ferneyhoughgeliebte character's full of himself, isn't he!"

I've put a lock on the door since.

Hilarious!! I shall be chuckling as I pedal

I was at a conference recently on ethnic diversity, when one of the invited speakers, an American professor, took exception to the phrase BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) stating that such people should - as it was in the States and in Canada - be referred to as members of the "Global Majority". PC to the point of meaninglessness, in my opinion.

Well done mercs, btw. I was thinking "Images"...

How hilarious, Taps!

Was the professor male or female?

Or should I say a member of the Global Majority or Minority

SHE was as white as both of our avatars, ammy. Can I say "White"?

Brilliant!

These are all-too familiar phrases, the favourites in the Rubbers household being: "You are obsessed", "Put it away", "I'm dishing up, NOW" and (having previously allayed any suspicions on this front) "So when are we going to meet Anna?"

It's reassuring to find I'm not alone. "You waste so much time on that thing...." "I you would focus on twhat you should be doing instead of getting distracted, you wouldn't be behind in your paperwork all the time..."

Which reminds me, I must get on...

Hang on, how can "Improvisations" be published? That's an oxymoron, that is!

What a performance, Taps. She's painting herself into an ever-shifting corner there, I suspect
