@Michael1979 It's good that they've built a river through the town. It means that the money spent on bridges won't have been wasted.

Here are the top 5 times: 1. 7:32pm (indisputably the best time) 2. 2:44pm (has its critics but an all-round excellent time) 3. 9:51pm (not too early, not too late) 4. 3:07am (chances of being required to attend a meeting at 3:07am? Low) 5. 11:38am (the connoisseur's lunch time)

Hi @JohnCena. Just thought of an idea for an instructional video called John Cena's Sea Nah's and I'd love if you could host it. We could post it on YouTube and hopefully make some money from ads and whatnot. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks. MC

TECH TIP Don't want to comment on a friend's Facebook post but DO want to positively acknowledge it? No problem! Simply copy and paste the post into a blank document, print it out, draw a thumbs-up emoji underneath it and then show it to your friend next time you see them 👍

My biggest fear as a voter? The government mandates that everyone must always be carrying a big plastic beam 1. Tax increases to manufacture the beams 2. Costly to hire inspectors who check everyone is carrying their beam 3. Someone might steal my beam This better not happen 😡

A common tech problem is having the F12 button on your keyboard stolen by local hoodlums. So here's a workaround: - Use an axe to remove your F, 1 and 2 keys - Use a blowtorch to fuse these buttons together - Smush the resulting button into the vacant F12 slot Problem solved 👍

If I was a Premier League manager and my team were playing an 8:15pm midweek match, I'd give my players just one piece of advice before kick-off: Brush your teeth now and wear your pyjamas under your kit. That way, you'll be able to go to bed quicker when you get home.

[Private Message to @JohnCena] Hi John. What did you think of the 1994 movie Speed? I didn't like it. Too noisy. So I've written a pitch for a much better adaptation with you in the lead role. Let me know if you want to be involved. Thanks. MC

The local bishop in Waterford decrying Taylor Swift as an awful sinful influence at my youngest's Confirmation was a hilarious and awkward moment to say the least.

@Steven_Lanham @Michael1979 @georgeismynameo @ryandcordell @Superproprep @ptrlyons I think the solution here is to allow @georgeismynameo to continue in his role as The Judge without any unnecessary bureaucratic interruptions from Steven. George made a good and fair judge.

@Superproprep @Michael1979 @Steven_Lanham @georgeismynameo @ryandcordell You're very welcome, Duncs. Could I just say, on behalf of the judging panel, thank you so much for your postings over the years. Each one is a golden nugget in a world of shite. When I set up The Hall of Fame you'll be first in it. George, Hun, is this ok?
