Missed Opportunities: The Insanity Test

It’s just occurred to me, that I missed out on a brilliant opportunity to really mess with someone’s head for years. Sit down comfortably and I shall explain.

Back in 1998/99 When I was writing the Insanity Test I added the following two questions :-

138: Have you ever mailed ‘pen@penddraig.co.uk’?

139: If so did you announce your undying love to this person?


At the time they were just throw away Questions, Implying Jokingly that you would have to be insane to email me. Little did I expect to be receiving a vast amount of decelerations of Love, and some extremely insane ramblings to be constantly popping up in the Inbox associated with that account for more than a decade (I’m still getting them today) In fact I keep saying I intend to make a small book of the more bizarre, funny ones (Plus those from “Interesting” People/Places) and make as mall eBook.

Now consider if I had picked a random persons email address, think of how confused they would be at the amount of almost “stalkeresque” love emails they kept receiving. I could really have messed with someone’s mind. and had years of amusement. I guess this proves that contrary to popular belief I am not after all “Evil(EDIT: “Or you just did not think of it at the time, Proving Nothing!!CN)

Diversion Deviants

I would like to give a mention of thanks to the Pranksters who made my Monday morning commute much easier than normal, while providing me with entertainment that’s kept me amused all day so far. Let me explain:-

As you may know from previous posts My current commute is a nightmare from roadworks and diversions. Well on my trip in this morning as I was driving along one of the diversions, I noticed that there was a “diversion” sign in a new place, and was now sending traffic off the route they had been using for the last few weeks, and down a different road. Now as I know the area, I ignored the diversion and continued on my way, on a now empty road as everyone else had followed the sign. And for that ease of trip i thank you whoever moved the sign.

Diversion Sign

I should point out why this has amused me so much all day.

The road all the cars, vans, trucks, wagons were being diverted along was a dead end. A dead end with no real space o turn a car around, let alone any of the bigger vehicles. In fact I’d be surprised due to narrowness of road if the trucks did not get jammed before they made it to the end, helping to trap everyone on the road. And all this on a Monday morning (which people tend to hate anyway). Once again, I raise my hat to whoever was behind this bit of pure genius!!
