I go into the aisles in the department stores where all the alarm clocks are and set them to go off at various times. The reactions from people are priceless

I'm the only person who buys a bike, and then buys another very similar bike just days after.

Whenever I blow my nose, I always look at the contents of the tissue/handkerchief afterwards to check that it looks "healthy", i.e. clear, crust-free, with no green or yellow.

Charming.

It may be the first exactly like that, but my cousins best friend who is a Royal Marine studied Psychology and then Chemical Engineering at Wits or Tucs or somewhere up here.

They call him Van because none of the English can pronounce van Stander correctly.

Must be some quantum fluctuation that your studying physics pops in and out of existence.

So you meant took a course? That's a very different thing to studying something.

I did it for two years. Doesn't that count? Ditto Math. In fact, of those, the only course was Machine Learning.

The reason that I say that it wasn't a focus is because, unlike during A Levels, where it was my primary focus, I afforded it the least amount of effort required to do acceptably well in it.

I found Quantum Physics in particular pointless in the extreme. I cannot recall a single one of those absurd formulae.
