I seem to have become addicted to a website called Quora. It's a question and answer forum and mostly US-based. The format is that someone poses a question, and other people offer their responses. Many of the questions are political like ''Where does Donald Trump get off calling Marjorie Taylor Green a 'rino'? The questions vary though and this morning I read "Is it ethical to keep cats as indoor pets when some people believe it's wrong to keep animals in captivity?"
It's harmless stuff, mostly, and I find myself being sucked into the nonsense. Perhaps it's because I secretly enjoy reading how ignorant some people are and that feeds my feeling of superiority.
This morning, I realised there are other people who also share my feeling of cleverness. One regular subscriber is called Nicholas Stone and he writes about trains in the UK. I was surprised how many people ask about train travel in the UK until I realised that Nicholas must be writing the questions himself. He can then show off his knowledge and attach a picture of a ,train with his beaming face in front.
I love the captions to the photographs, something like: A Cross Country XPT in festive livery, Photograph taken by Nicholas Stone, the author of this article.
I suppose everybody needs a hobby.
