Oh god my five year old daughter is doing a Fairy Tales theme at school this week - I might have to read Billy Goats Gruff tonight and now I'll be haunted by that pervy troll!
hahahahahaha fabulous! My Dad has to physically drag me to his garage and show me how to fix a carburettor or drain brake fluid any (every) time I help him find his emails. The only time I've EVER raised my voice at him (and I don't DO shouting) is when trying to explain the bluray player. They've got a point though it is all bollocks eh.
Thanks Luke! Oh interesting, is that to show you that he knows about other things? I get that. Man, they're totally right, and it must be beyond frustrating and soon enough WE WILL FIND OUT.
"Say my name" is hilarious - also really the troll should've asked the goat to trip-trap directly on his nuts, but I don't think I could draw that!
Oh my god Tor you’ve nailed it again. I wish I could get you to visualise all my irritations. You have a superpower. Like the finest stand up comics. More Mum please!
I love the posters and they're VERY relatable. My mum and dad save up all tech issues for my visits - this used to include resetting the heating timer when the clocks changed but either they've given up changing it or have finally learnt after several intensive coaching sessions. They also bought a new TV but sat looking at the box till I came round to set it up! They're also in their 80s and I do think everything must be mind-blowing for them.
Thanks Nicola! RESETTING THE HEATING TIMER!! That's a bi-yearly horror here too. I think it must be so frustrating, and it's real in the kingdom of the blind stuff, given I'm absolutely mediocre at tech myself.
As I get older I intend to get increasingly incompetent so that nobody ever asks me to do anything of any moment bc they will know I will just do it badly or ask so many questions it would have been easier to do it themselves.
I also feel like there are some things I know I could grasp if I chose to but if I did there would be no end to the things I had grasped and that would be exhausting. Instead I choose to set some hard limits re for example the days when various types of rubbish are collected.
Tor, we will not be 83 in 35years (just for the record) and we will have AI droids that will answer all our questions whilst we float about without a care in the world- it’s gunna be MINT
Tor!! I will NEVER be able to un-see that filthy sweaty troll’s face! 🤣🤣🤢
And the mum stuff is hilariously spot on! My mum still thinks her Facebook page is her own personal website and it doesn’t matter how many times I explain it, she just doesn’t get it 🤣 She regularly posts personal messages to me and her friends on her main feed 😬 The other day she posted ‘Hi J, how did you get on at docs? Did they give you cream or pills? Love mum xx’

Oooh, the IT-help hits too close to home, but I snorted in laughter anyway. :) Love the sex comic too!
