You and Z...and anyone else who wants to discuss anything...
...please feel free to do so. Make it be on any subject you find interesting.
I have no problem with that at all.
Of course, Frank
You are not psychotically territorial when it comes to your topics as some are.
But, in case Z would like to digress, I recommend this selection of my attempts:
The Honey Nut variety has recently become a favorite of mine.
My wife, Nancy, has eaten regular Cheerios almost every morning for her entire life. I do talk her into pancakes or French Toast once in a while...or even an omelet...but she likes her RoRo's best of all.
The Honey Monster shot on our screens advertising sugar puffs a long time ago. So long ago that they featured the bloke off Benny Hill.

@izzythepush,
Actually, I look forward to winter days when I have my favorite breakfast...what we Americans call oatmeal. (You guys mostly call it porridge.)
I put raisins and chopped walnuts in mine...often a bit of maple syrup...and have toasted whole wheat bread with it. A nice glass of orange juice...and I am ready for anything.

@Frank Apisa,
Honey Nut too sweet for me. I mix half and half with regular.
But, why did izzy ask about the O, if he didn't mean the O?
Funny you should ask. Ancient Jews had a superstition about vocalizing the name Jehovah or Yahweh. Their writing used only consonants, with vowel sounds indicated by textual marks. So, God's name using Roman Consonants would be JHVH or YHVH. As a result, we no longer have any idea how the divine name is supposed to sound and use Jehovah only because it is the most common English use.
Fast forward to our time and Jews have carried their superstition to the vocalization of the generic, now represented as G_d. So, what does the 'O' stand for? I have no idea. And, I suppose, neither does the typical Jew.
Another day where we do not know if any gods exist or not!

That's what I don't get.
Continuing my line of thought, wouldn't it be _sb_rt?
Oh. ?
Are you thinking of initials?
Maybe George Osbert Dingleman?
Don't most folks include ellipses? G.O.D.?
You ask the most puzzling questions, izzy.
Maybe Frank can help . . .
Or . . . Timur
Or Setanta. But I don't think he follows this thread.
