To be fair I didn't think there was anything new under the sun until I saw Mick McCarthy play 5 CB's

Changing the subject, I ended up getting her a garden centre voucher.
A Lung :sherlock:
At least one was inflated enough to break the silence, well done.
Seems like we'll end the year yet again, with NO proof for the nervous agnostic position on the origin of the universe, and the Bible is once again correct, there is nothing new under the sun.
I'm sure she'll enjoy using the voucher.
You've probably heard of the Psalms; this is the first 6 verses of Psalm 1:-
Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers.
But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night.
They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.
But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.
For the LORD watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
'Nervous agnostic position'?
I remember that from the Karma Sutra.
So the year ends with the Bible once again exposed as a muddle of Bronze Age to mid Roman fables, fantasies, distorted history and cult propaganda - promoted as the literal truth by evangelical zealots who combine belief in magic with hard-core racist projections onto the modern world ('the title deeds')!
So no change there!
Not at all, just correcting a misconception.
A September birth is the most probable, however the official celebration is 25th Dec.
It may be unpopular in these mainly secular times, but 2021AD looks back that many years to the birth of Christ.
I'm sure you know this but AD stands for the Latin phrase anno domini, which means in the year of our Lord. And every newspaper, webpage etc etc since the day we were born has this silent reminder on each page.
CE and BCE becoming more commonly used.

Who knows, but in a few generations that might be what we read on the top of our (digital) newspapers. Makes sense.
I think the current generation would mainly favour this and I've met people on courses at University that have tried to use this for the last 20-30 years. However to be consistent you need to scrub Christmas and Easter. Secular life is often strangely constantly using the name of Jesus disrespectfully, then stupidly marking His official birthday by vomiting everywhere after attending a Christmas party.
Talk about irony meeting ignorance :facepalm:
