That is a good kitchen roll, I agree, but it is a little expensive for the amount that is used in the household that I live in.

It used to be the case that the cheapest kitchen roll was sufficient, bu these days the cheapest kitchen roll actually feels... cheap.

Although 6 rolls for £10 isn't bad on Amazon.

I have previously bought that from a shop.

When I was a lad there was no such thing as disposable paper kitchen towels. I don't know how we coped.

Yes I suppose that was all we had. They can be cleaned but it takes some doing. You have to boil them in Persil clothes-washing powder. If you use ordinary soap or Fairy Liquid the suds overflow and then you've got another mess to clean up. Anyway Mum never used to let me near household chores because she thought I'd make things worse, and then she kept losing her temper because I was having fun while she had to do all the work. It took me about 30 years to learn how to do chores after I'd left home.

I like watching those informative animated videos (not anime) that pop up on Facebook, but I hate when the comments are filled with unfunny memes people have made up with the same pictures of a distorted animated face. I don't know why they keep posting those for, it's getting very old and I don't know who they're impressing. And they're in the comments on EVERY one of those informative animated videos that I have watched so far.

For example, an informative animated video is telling you about what would happen if you swallowed a live fish or something, and the comments are filled with "me after swallowing a live fish" with one of those pictures of the same weird face that is in so many comments on these videos.

Does anyone get what I mean by these (enjoyable) videos and the weird stupid images people post in the comments?

I get what you mean - people post irrelevent, flippant comments when you'd rather see relevent, serious comments. I've not seen them much myself because I usually just download the videos and watch them offline. But when I have seen the comments, they're not usually very interesting. I uploaded and published a rare live recording of a band to Podomatic.com once, and asked if anybody knew the date and place of the performance, because I wanted to know, and the only comment I got was by somebody who said how sexy he thought the lead singer was. :roll:

I'm taking the old green train, not the high speed rail. Interesting.
