So I went to see the Tower of London poppy thing the other day and to my horror, there were

thousands of awful, gawping people there, getting in my way. This absolutely ruined it for me and I had to leave.

In fact, as I said at the time (perhaps slightly louder than was strictly necessary), the great irony was that an exhibit designed to inspire peace and unity ended up making me want to punch people.

I'm not good with crowds. :-(

I was walking over Tower Bridge last week and when faced with an on coming Chinese, they expect you to get out of their way and continue on their path.

Well no more. I did not deviate from my line and given the Chinese man expected me to move and didn't do so himself, he got my shoulder bashing against his shoulder.

I'd have enjoyed it had he gone over the edge, tbh.

personal favourite. "Oh, you're interested in the First World War? That's nice. Personally, I don't think you can really start to understand it until you've studied the Second Balkan War, though."

It was a bit sore afterwards.

Nonsense. You'll be a spry 75 year-old with a twinkle in your eye and a jaunty gait.

And slightly mental.

Look here, for example (by the way, I like the way they have to specify that these graphs only relate to male sufferers - you'd have to be a pretty unlucky woman to get prostate cancer, tbf :hehe: )

No. I'm resigned to my fate.
