Obviously I'm in the minority, but I hate puns. Could you explain to me the humour in them? Intelligent word play in comedy I adore. But this obsession with puns I find odd.

I use the popular page as a barometer sometimes.
If it's stayed the same for days on end, I know I haven't missed anything worth reading.

Whats the point in ignoring someone if you look to see what they've posted anyway?
There are a lot of people who do that, and I find it really odd. Ignore2.0 is shit.

Yeah it's not a tool for actually disengaging from people, more of a cry for help

I didn't
I realised after I'd posted that somebody else might have mentioned it, so I checked the popular page. That's how I found out.

I think if you don't like them, you don't like them, and nobody's going to be able to explain the appeal.
It's just wordplay, most of the time they're shit. I like the intentionally shit ones because it's like taking the piss out of how shit they are. Can totally get why they wouldn't be someone's thing though. Like faceswaps on /board, I don't understand the appeal unless there's an actual joke behind them (which there almost always isn't), but those cunts lap them up.

Our practice manager went to see Peter Kay at the weekend and seemed to enjoy the experience.

They never explained it in the film but I imagine she must have been seriously filthy to be worth going to all that hassle for.
