    Well this is an eye opener.

    Personally I’ve never found programmes about poverty and injustice “funny” or “amusing”, either in the past or now.
    There's a clue in the name...

    Look at me, look at me, trying to be contrary. 

    The subject is not meant to be funny, but the vehicle to raise awareness and money IS !!


    Sporadics next hot take, look at all the bands having a good time on stage in Wembley and Philadelphia whilst there are people starving in Ethiopia. 
    And the audience happily clapping along to Queen are taking the piss.

    Do you know that the strapline is 'do something funny for money'. The whole idea is to use comedy to raise money. My point is that the comedy wasn't actually that funny.

    Leaving my laptop charger in the office yesterday to run and get the train. I only work 2.5 days a week and wasn’t planning on being in the office for a couple of weeks. 
    Amazon is your friend. 
    Or my wife’s laptop charger! But yes, definitely need a backup at home.

    Booking train tickets in a rush earlier, multiple singles on a complex return journey. Thought I’d outsmarted the system buying advance tickets and was surprised how cheap they were, £18 total…

    …have just realised I’d bought them all as a child tickets as it’s defaulted to that on the app as I last used it to buy a ticket for my son. So now I have to try and get a refund or get them changed, which isn’t looking likely - and may have to pay for my adult tickets on top of any money lost. Hopefully not…absolute shocker.

    I Trawled the Net and came up with this answer: Apparently it started out as nothing more than a mispronounciation of 'Big Finish', popularised by 'Fishing' Rod Studd around 2016.

    Simpletons that finish posts with the word 'simples'. 

    People that put hilarious laughing emojis at the end of their own sentences. 

    Stop it. Simples. 😂😂😂😂😂
