So seeing a dog on a walk got me thinking

Dogs have lush fur coats which traps a huge amount of heat as proven with thermal imagery cameras

Humans are bald
And some even fully bald

That is a huge disadvantage
So increasing heating bills for profit is essentially a breach of human rights

Becasue without external heat sources, humans massively are at risk of strokes etc due to increase of blood pressure and blood viscosity when the body tries to keep internal temperature optimal for the organs

18c is optimal ambient temperature for the human body

And a typical house without heating will be 8-10c
Thanks for my ted talk

TBF, even though I'm strongly athiest, that table was going well ..... until the very last line. In the UK it is our Christmas holidays / Christmas break; that is our tradition, our history, our culture.
I agree, and for what its worth I've never met anyone from any background or religion (or lack of religion) who has actually wanted the term 'Christmas' to stop being used.
Maybe a misguided someone thinking they're being helpful on others behalf? (although I've never met anyone saying that either)

As Castro says it would be like saying that Eid can only be referred to as 'that time when the people who have been fasting during daylight hours stop doing so'
Nonsensical
 
Only typical british things are offensive

Yes. Makes you wonder why these people who are offended wish to stay here. Though this will be more a case of middle class liberals imagining offence where none exists. My thoughts on whether to send my Muslim neighbour, a smashing bloke as were his kids, in Hull nearly 50 years ago a Christmas card were solved when a card from him and his family was on the mat when I came home from work
