So, from time to time, I take a trip into one of the darkest parts of the human soul; a place where fear, dispair and confusion are everywhere you turn; where you cannot help feeling like a small, lost child in a dark and forbiding forest. I am talking, of course, about the comments section of the Daily Mail website.
It can be an exhilarating experience, but mostly it is a depressing one. One thing has always amused me though; the names that some commenters give themselves. Usually it’s “Dave, Peterborough”, although often a more descritive moniker is given like “Busy mum, Bedford”. So far, so boring, but occasionally some people can be really inventive; providing further harrowing insight into their personality. Here is a selection of some of the best from today:
