Hats Off Folks

After hours of waiting (not just for the food to be served) you’ll be able to click here for some photos from the Christmas Lunch.

Here’s Linda who seems to have wolfed down her food at the lunch

Bottomless Pit

After the crash of the bottle of wine followed quickly by the crash of the tins of beer, Dave H decided yesterday at the Christmas Lunch party that brown paper bags definitely have a weak point. But they do make a great picture frame.

Photos from the event will appear on the website sometime this weekend so please keep checking back for the link.

The In-Word 2022

Voters have chosen the word “goblin mode” as the word of 2022. Thousands managed to drag themselves out of goblin mode to vote, as the phrase won by a landslide with 318,956 votes, making up 93% of the total.

So, what does goblin mode mean exactly? According to Oxford University Press, which publishes the Oxford English Dictionary, it is a slang term that is “a type of behaviour which is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations”.
