Splice the mainbrace Posted January 18, 2023 #42057 Share Posted January 18, 2023 0c here and a dusting of snow. It might be the end of me listening to radio 2 in weekdays depending who replaces Ken Bruce on the morning show, has become too 90s centric for me. The in word is diversity but the older folk don’t seem to be included in many aspects of the media. In adverts apparently older people don’t buy anything but assistance furniture, life assurance or funeral plans. But there seem to be lots of cash rich people in their 30s who can buy cars, furniture and all manor of luxuries. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted January 18, 2023 #42058 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Good morning. 1°C sunny but frosty here this morning.

Rare Eglesbrech Posted January 18, 2023 #42062 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Have you heard of the phrase “main character energy”. I hadn,t. Apparently it is social media trend all about being the star of your own show, standing out from the crowd, catching attention. Parents are looking for “main character energy” names for their baby names so in the last year these names were registered in the U.K. numerous times. Maverick (top gun) Wednesday (as in Adams) Vilenelle (after the baddie in killing Eve) Marylon Sunday Jax. (Boys name) Thor (yes really) Kalesi (game of thrones) Aragorn (game of thrones) Love Indiana. (jones) Some I quite like, others well….. I have to say that when I am looking at any named items in the shops I don’t recognise many of the names on them and certainly never find mine, my husbands, my sisters, my brother in laws etc. You know you are getting old when even your name is past it. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that - absolutely fascinating! Everything in a name that we’d have avoided like the plague. Lots of little Borises and Vladimirs then, no doubt. I’d go for antiheroes - Harry (as in Palmer) for example! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays, you don’t run into many people who name their kid Lance. But in the Middle Ages, people used to be named Lancelot. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
