    Realising that all traces of a sad, desperate little troll have been replaced with multiple “Unknown” labels.

    Satisfying and amusing, because what he is was very much “known”.
    I don't. 
    He was a troll. 🧌
    I thought that was obvious? 🤷🏻‍♂️
    Sorry, I meant I don't know who.
    Oh I see. Sorry.
    To be honest, I’d rather not give him the oxygen of attention. I can PM you if you like, but he really wasn’t worthy of your time.

    A specific thing that didn't amuse me at the time, but does looking back: Whilst  we were on holiday recently, I had a new EV charger fitted. We came home on Friday afternoon and I could hear a very loud, very annoying ticking sound in our garage where the electric meter and fuse box are. I was naturally worried that, after the work done, there must be something wrong with the electrics. Having bad hearing though, I couldn't quite pinpoint the source of the sound. I spent ages stumbling around in what's essentially a room full of junk trying to locate the problem. After a long, frustrating and fruitless search I went upstairs and asked my son if he knew anything about the source of the ticking. "Oh yes" he said, "that'll be my motorbike screamer. It's telling me that the battery has run out, but I don't know how to change it so I hid it in the garage to try and stop the noise". Thanks son!

    I have been watching the Chris Packham programme on Evolution on Ch5 and last night he explained that in the evolution of our species, the anus came well before the brain.  I think that might explain a lot about today's society, especially when it comes to American politicians.

    This is the first display I saw as I walked through the door of my local builders merchant this morning: Woolly socks, rain suits and packs of 'Winter Essentials' whatever that means. I can't help but think someone would benefit from a bit more thought to product placement.

    I bought a punnet of "Taste the Difference" strawberries Saturday. I didn't bother looking at them, just put them in the barrow. Got home and my wife gets to unpacking the shopping enquires, "How much have you paid for 7 strawberries? Thats ridiculous, 7 of them, come on how much? "
    Not knowing I look at the receipt, I didn't scan them, I've mistakenly stole them. All of a sudden 7 strawberries isn't such a bad buy.

    People who don't know how average speed cameras work and think that slamming on the anchors when they are just coming up on a camera is going to help.
