| Not much to be honest, but I could get into trouble if I did it under my own name, so I don't. I sometimes post on issues that relate to work things, so I am very keen to retain the freedom that being anonymous gives me. | Not much to be honest, but I could get into trouble if I did it under my own name, so I don't.

| Nothing on Cif has ever made me cry, as it is not wise to approach any internet community in a state of emotion. Crying is for real life.

Sometimes they are quite funny. | We are all subjective when it comes to the term troll.
