Total abuse of power which has to be resisted from wherever it comes.
What does calling it Crimbo, Xmas or Old Nickās day if we want matter ?
āA Christian heritageā, well looking back at history it was a ābloodyā heritageā where religion was used as an excuse for all sorts of atrocities!
You call it what you like but leave the rest of us our choice too, or do you intend to āforceā your choice on everyone !

Are we all back on track, or is it just Stella and me?
Nope!
A bit emotive there Dan, I donāt see any bullying from anyone, except perhaps Jane who wants us all to respect our Christian heritage lest the āwrathā fall upon us !

Hi Ann, you are, as always, articulate and relevant - However l would suggest that my emotive response has only got your attention because l am attacking your mate as it often does.
Simon attacks other peopleās views when they do not agree with his own aggressively and, frequently, unpleasantly. However, if others do the same to him, as l have on occasions, he cries āfoulā or his surrogates do.
I will continue to express my opinions until free speech becomes outlawed on this site.
I am not a fan of Jane Williamson and her world view and believe she could do with a huge dose of ārealityā. But she, like all of us are entitled to our own opinions and when that stops being the case on this forum l will get my coat.
I am an atheist but for my childrenās sake I attended evening service at thier public school, not that I wanted to but they had to. It always amused me watching fellow parents queue at the alter to take bread and wine so that they portrayed themselves as good people. I would meet many of these parents in daily life and business and each and every one of them would stab you in the back to get what they wanted. It was a Christian school!

Actually I am a pragmatist.
I donāt agree that one should accept things at face value, there are almost unforseen consequences.
Why a man?
Well Mandy I was extremely surprised at the comment and genuinely shocked, so I checked out your video.
I would stay there for a whole summer. July and August . It looks like a beautiful place to get rested after a hard year working.
People need these types of environments to rest and relax, lucky you having this place which is beautiful.
Sometimes people donāt rĆ©alisĆ© how hurtful they can be, even if being honest
I have a motto that I use
If you cannot say anything nice, say nothing
Looks like you have other supporters of your lovely home . So donāt take anything badly
Be happy in your own home and proud
Hugs Ann Marie

Well, the story goes, if memory serves, that we were made in his imageā¦& that the chap in charge at the beginning was Adam.
Iām certain though, that a woman would be equally qualified.

If I agree with someones post then I say so, if I donāt then I do the sameā¦
If I thought Simon, Jack, Jill , Uncle Tom Cobbly or anyone else here was being a bully or offensive then I would also comment.
Itās not a schoolyard and I donāt need to have āmatesā, however there are certain people who go out of their way to be just downright contrary and I shall continue to comment as I see fit !

Thanks for the support but itās not my house, itās a place I worked at for 6 years. There were 18 villas of various designs and that is just one.
Thanks again, youāre very kind.
