    https://anglican.ink/2026/10/07/clergy-drawn-into-advent-calendar-dispute/ “For £5.99 you can pre-order a Christian Advent Calendar with Fairtrade chocolate from the Meaningful Chocolate Company.” He added that a donation is made to the Leprosy Mission and that the calendar includes a booklet on the meaning of Christmas. Edited to add, I think $6 (£4.50) per chocolate is... crazy expensive, outrageous, obscene, simply ridiculous, What is the word?

    It's marmite, you'll either hate it and give it 1/10, or really love it giving it 9/10 and those latter folk will (want to) buy it. It's a risk being such a bold design transition, but a market driven one that ought to pay off.

    You can use the app for free. It does limit your ability to host a call but not participate in one. I can send you a zoom invite to test it but we need to coordinate a time (in other words we’d actually do a quick little call you and me). Let me know what your schedule is like today. My availability is pretty good. Feel free to do it in private message if you prefer but here is fine too.

    @RealPlayer said: REgifting. So, that word does not bug me.... well, as long as it's used as a gerund If someone says "Remember that book that Mark gifted me? I regifted it to Sue" then all bets are off.
