Dear Jimbo,

If a 42 year old man drew the following picture (entitled Panicky Forest Fire) and suggested it be used as a mural instead of a tranquil beach scene would this suggest sociopathic tendencies?

Ps. Mr Potato Head is not present in this picture. You'll find it's a much better resemblance of the dude from Munch's The Scream painting

I'm really glad you're here actually. I do have some nagging questions you'll be able to answer (inc previous q)
1) why does my knee hurt today?
2) who invented marzipan and why did they bother?
3) why are Coldplay and Ed Shearan on the radio (both leave me cold)
4) why do olives taste like earwax?

I'm thinking Shreddies.
I'm no expert but think that's a great idea. The layers would give extra warmth during those cold mornings waiting at the bus stop. Can I suggest alternating regular and frosted shreddies for that nice, chequered look. Just avoid the rain, though

Just trying to be helpful whilst we wait for the true teller of all knowledge, Jimbo. Without his nod, these responses are meaningless :lol:

Let me handle this one for you, Jimbo…

Big Bang Theory is a brilliant sitcom geared towards nerds. Basically, it’s a bunch of PhD (and one masters) super nerds navigating life and relationships together. I love it!

Also, see The IT Crowd.

I know it’s unpaid but Jimbo’s wisdom and authority is really needed now. It’s been three whole hours since he opened the ‘Ask Jimbo’ service. There should be a set of SLAs in place for Jimbo to operate against
