Apologies for my previous thread
 
Hi guys,

I'd like to apologise if I offended anybody with my pagan thread earlier,

It was an inappropriate use of the word "malarkey". To be perfectly honest I was not aware of its meaning, I personally thought that it meant "thingy" which to be honest is probably equally inappropriate.

My mother always told me not to get into conversations about politics or religion as somebody somewhere will be offended with what's said. This seems to be one of those times.

Back to what we are all here for,

Have a wonderful sober weekend,

Take care,

Bruno :)

Haven't seen the other post but do love the word malarkey, reminds me of my mother who was Scottish, she used it all the time.

10/10 Bruno for holding your hands up to the malarkey . The kind people here have already forgiven you,I'm sure of it . we knew you meant no harm didn't we .

As another UK member, I would say that my understanding of malarkey wouldn't be as the definition on the thread was. In my area it's used in a far more general way, and if someone referred to "...higher power malarkey. .." That would be interchangeable with " .... higher power business. .." Or similar. Was that your understanding of the work as well?

It is really nice of you to apologize, especially since you meant no harm.

Definitely read around the site; you'll no doubt find quite a few people whose journeys really resonate with you.

Thank you!
