I definitely haven’t said indigo as much in adult life as I was prepared for either, but it has cropped up occasionally. I haven’t heard anyone call a colour peach in 25 years. I’m sure I was taught it was as popular as purple or brown. Violet has had a raw deal as well. Got itself on the rainbow and now hardly mentioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted January 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2021 The most “indigo” ever gets mentioned in one’s life is in the early teen years and you and your mates are discussing what your band name could be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My missus used to work with a bloke who insisted that the Harrison Ford movie character was called 'Indigo Jones'. He was amazed when proven wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 This is verging on being off-topic but I just learned that there is a tennis player named Tennys Sandgren, born and raised in Tennessee and played tennis at Tennessee university. His parents met at a tennis club. He’s named after his Swedish great-grandfather, Tennys, not the sport of tennis. He also appears to be a bit of a dick head. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that the Inigo Jones thing was what triggered the misunderstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I hadn't seen a milk float in about 15 years. I saw two today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I stole a milk float when I was a kid. The milky got out of it, and I just thought, ooh I’ll have a go in that. Jumped in and drove off having never driven anything before. Just a steering wheel and a stop go pedal, very easy to instantly master. Got to the end of the street and drove it through someone’s garden wall. They’re like all fibre glass and windscreen so taking it through a wall completely totalled it. We had to make our own fun back in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
