P&O Cruisers - What are things like where YOU are?

[yorkshirephil]

We also have had some snow, I said to mrs yp "thats odd we have a metre of snow in our yard" 

[purplesea]

No snow down here this morning but feels very chilly in the wind.

Groundhog day here in my small corner of Sth Yorks.  A heavy frost clear skies, sunshine and a very nippy -3c. No snow thank heavens, I hate the stuff.

Take care.

Snow here this morning and a winter wonderland view.

[kalos]

No snow here but frosty but bright sunshine thawing it .

 

To all you dog owners wrap up well when your taking your dog walkies .

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.

Good morning.

1°C sunny but frosty here this morning.

I just rang the pharmacy and they have my heart medication ready so I will pop down in the car shortly to get it.

Thank you Harry.

She is resting at home and her painkillers are working well.

She is waiting to get a call this week to go to the outpatients department at Newcastle to get an injection.

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.

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!

My four sisters were named after stones, Ruby, Beryl, Jade and my favourite sister; our Pumice.

Aragorn ( aka Strider ) is Lord of the rings. He is the heir to Isildur.

It was a trend to name children after the place they were conceived...Paris, Brooklyn, etc.I explained this to our son when he asked why we named him Travelodge.

Thanks. I’m not into Lord of the rings or Game of Thrones particularly.

 

Now I am a complete Star Trek anorak and would know my Jadzias from my  Data’s 😀

Personally I’d go for timeless names. They are not in fashion so never fall out of it.

30+ years ago, I looked after a child called Thor in the nursery class I worked in at the time, turns out he was very aptly named 🤣

Nowadays, you don’t run into many people who name their kid Lance.

But in the Middle Ages, people used to be named Lancelot.

[Harry Peterson]

Surprising that people don't take more care over names.  I knew these:

 

Roland Butter (really!)

Rosie Plum (also really)

I went to school with a lad called Matt Christmas he had a sister called Mary .

[yorkshirephil]

How could you forget this name?

 

[yorkshirephil]

Don't you just love names?
