"The Shinfield Arms" sounds about as bland as possible.

Too bad they decided on that one.

Black in Different Cultures

In Africa, black represents masculinity and maturity. In the Middle East, the color represents mourning as well as rebirth. It also symbolizes mystery and evil. In Asian countries like China, black is seen as more positive, representing prosperity and good health as well as being the color associated with boys. Feminine energy is symbolized by black in Japan while India looks on it as representing death and rebellion. In South America, it symbolizes masculinity on the positive side, and mourning on the negative side. In Western cultures, it’s also associated with mourning and death, but is also considered a formal and sophisticated color.
Seems in the UK..the word Black and pubs means racism, how ridiculous

"The Quiet Woman" and "The Bucket of Blood" both sound like my type of watering holes.

It used to be an anti-Soviet joke: Thieves broke into the Kremlin but stole nothing of value except next year's election results.

Apparently the joke is coming true on the official website of Californian Republican candidate Larry Elder. The election starts and ends tomorrow (Tuesday), but already today (Monday) they are...

Quote:

...demanding a special session of the California legislator to investigate and ameliorate the twisted results of this 2021 Recall Election of Govenor Gavin Newsom.
Statistical analyses used to detect fraud in third world nations have detected fraud in California resulting in Governor Gavin Newsom being reinstated as govenor.
Source: CNN, quoting from the website

"Have detected" = they have already found fraud in an election that hasn't been conducted yet. To me that sounds more "Third World" than the Californian GOP probably intended.
