It's Mother's day? Oh crap; looks like it's garage forecourt flowers, again.

Carlsberg don't run I.T departments, but if they did they'd probably be more fun.

 

[KenCunningham]

...in the US Grenage, the UK one was in March.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

 

[p5wizard]

In NL, DK, IT it is also 2nd Sunday of May
In BE it is Aug 15 (RC origin) though 2nd Sunday of May rule counts also (there are regional variations) ...

Hi,
Dave, I hear that in some areas of Utah, the relationship between Fathers and Mothers is One-to-Many

[SantaMufasa]

Yeah, Just think of how tough it is here when a kid comes out of the closet. Following sitting his folks down on the couch to tell them, with perspiration pouring down his forehead, he begins:

Dad, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom...

JK...

Has anyone notice that, in the UK at least, Mother's Day is just 3 months before Father's Day


.... or is that 9 months AFTER Father's Day

UK monther's day is actually Mothering Sunday. There isn't a Fathering Sunday. Is Father's day just a 'Celebration Card' invention to boost card sales in the lull between Christmases.

Johnwm - have you observed Indians from India counting? They don't count like westerners: they count 4 on each finger and 16 on one hand.

 

[p5wizard]

[off topic]
xwb, I always thought it was 12 (dozen) on one hand - 4 fingers x 3 phalanges, which you count with the thumb of the same hand and 144 (gross) on two hands: 12 phalanges x 12 phalanges.

Or is this from China?

HTH,

[off topic]
It varies. Those who count to 16 on one hand use 3 phalanges plus the tip. That makes it 4; 4x4 = 16, 256 with 2 hands.

Chinese have a different one handed system. I only know the thumb and little finger together means 6.

There isn't a Fathering Sunday.

That's because they found it to be too "labour" intensive to track down actual biological fathers. <grin>
