Since having my covid jab, I am allergic to cats.
Or, hay fever season has started, and it just so happens to be coincidental.

Was fine til about midnight, then two hours of really weird stuff. Woke up late, and have been a bit flat all day. Perking up watching the golf. Will be fine tomorrow I think. Cheers for asking.

The news is filled with nonesense stuff like this

“Race is an issue in our marriage because as a white woman of privilege, I have racist tendencies written in at a cellular level,” she said.
Alaskan-born Ms Roth wrote in Good Housekeeping last year: “It does not matter how many marches I have planned or how many progressive candidates I have campaigned for or how many times I have chanted Black Lives Matter in the streets: I am rife with internalised racism and unconscious bias.
“And to all of the non-black folks reading this, we need to get clear on something: So are you.”

Seems to me that all she is saying is that as animals of the human sort we will instinctively stick with and trust other human beings who are like us more than those who aren't. Of course most of us learn to not discriminate. But of course this sort of stuff is highlighted in the Telegraph and it's ilk to irritate and anger it's readership - so job done

The ones I see always seem to be grey on grey. Keep thinking the colour has gone on tv. At least Crow would approve.

I agree with you - I think it's almost human nature or survival instinct to have preference towards those that are the same as you - if you're brought up correctly you simply learn to reject this instinct internally.Seems to me that all she is saying is that as animals of the human sort we will instinctively stick with and trust other human beings who are like us more than those who aren't.

What she is saying is all that is wrong with a lot of the counter culture in lumping everyone isn a bucket who does not agree with their woke rant of the day. Very annoying and very false. Their are far easier things to not like about people such as their personality, attitudes and actions that are far more apparent to most people than the small minority of people who use skin colour. And the source of the material has no bearing hear - i was reading direct quotes from a person

is is funny how you know who will respond to something and in what sort of fashion. And you are no doubt in your own way backing the side of "if you don't agree with it you are racist" but I have no idea what you actually mean

What you say may be true, but I don't think it addresses the underlying genetic point that seems to be being made and that irritated - that as humans of a certain type we will instinctively tend to associate and trust those of the same type - and conversely instinctively not wish to associate with and trust those of a different type. Fortunately most of us are nurtured away from and to suppress that instinct.
btw I am sure that you appreciate that 'woke' is now derogatory shorthand for someone who is anti-racist and anti-misogyny.

The 'Sports, Hobbies and Games' books section on Amazon. I like to peruse what sports books are being released in the next month or three and have to wade through pages and pages of warcraft guff and similar. Sport deserves its own section!

Put a group of young children of mixed ethnicities together and they'll play. They won't care or even realise that they are different. It's learned as they get a little older, not innate.
An opinion, but one i believe and have seen in action.

Driving to get my vaccine today from my house to Barrhead, every 50 yards there was a black bin bag on the side of the road. It looks like someone has basically fly tipped bags of rubbish in the middle of the night as they've been driving along. I counted 6 by the side of the road. Absolute gits! (I would use stronger words but I'd get a ban).
