    I've got no idea what all the buttons do on my microwave, other than the button that adds 30 seconds. In the 8 years of owning it, it's the only button I have used.

    If something needs to go in for for 3 mins, just press it 6 times. Ping ping ping ping ping ping. Sorted.

    No matter how many times people try to explain it to me, I have absolutely no idea how the following work, or how it came to be that people invented them;

    photography
    Television
    Telephones
    Vinyl records/CDs/cassettes
    Videos/DVDs/Blu Raysa
    Computers
    The internet

    I derive a great deal of pleasure from all of them, but whenever people try to explain any of them I always end at the same conclusion - that I don’t exist. Same happens when I start thinking about the infinity of space.

    Why working-class people vote Tory.
    Why it's cold in winter when the sun is out.
    Why we get different types of clouds.
    Why some nesting birds dont realise they've got a cuckoo egg in their nest.
    What electricity is.
    What flames are.

    I don't know what I don't know, so I don't know if I aught to know it.

    There's only one Harry Potter. The other characters are all called something else.
