April 1st.

 

"April Fools’ Day, in most countries the first day of April. It received its name from the custom of playing practical jokes on this day—for example, telling friends that their shoelaces are untied or sending them on so-called fools’ errands. A successful April Fools’ Day prank ends with the exclamation of the phrase “April Fool!” by the prankster."

It was great this morning to wake to such a great post by Peter. This new post has nothing to do with rooms in his house or clothing that doesn't fit properly or is a bit worn out.


He is making a big effort to choose topics that may be interesting to readers and promises to post more often.

Also, Robert is back posting and has promised to give all that biblical shit a rest. He also admits that the record of Catholic clergy, 14% up to 'no good' since 1950, is a disgrace to the church. He actually advises people to give the silly church a wide birth.



APRIL FOOL!

'Cruell'. Hey, that makes one 'L' of a difference!

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

L's bells!

Can I try on those ones you're offering to give away?

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I see that April Fool's Day runs to at least two days in the 'Nui.

Richard (of RBB) ha detto...

April Fools' Day.
Watch your grammar.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

I CAN'T THEY BOTH DIED MANY YEARS AGO.

THE CURMUDGEON ha detto...

"Both April Fool's Day (singular) and April Fools' Day (plural) are acceptable and widely used. "April Fool's Day" is arguably more common in popular usage, but "April Fools' Day" is often favoured by style guides, as it implies a day for multiple fools".

From the internet thingy.
