As Einstein allegedly said: Only two things are infinite, the Universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the Universe.

[ummmm]

Didn't some woman post something similar but it was actually true?

[ChillDoubt]

See above ummmm.

[ummmm]

Sorry chill. I'm watching TV so didn't see your answer.

[ChillDoubt]

in what way sweaty?

How come no one has commented that he must have been tweeting while driving?

[jno]

it's getting to the point where making jokes on Twitter will be banned. I've no problem with tweeters getting upset over insensitive remarks about real people, but about non-existent ones?

[anneasquith]

silly joke, harsh outcome.

"Anyone (singular form) who follows (singular form) me on Twitter know (plural form) 99% of the things (multiple object form) I tweet is (single object form) nonsense."

/// I find it very hard to believe that anyone took him seriously, similarly that he was fired for it. Seems like a standard (if a bit tasteless) tea-break joke that clearly doesn't transfer well to social media. ///

*** Avon and Somerset Police earlier confirmed it was investigating the claims and appealed for any potential victim to come forward. ***

Apparently the police did.

Wait for the number of claims to go through, I was cycling along .... when this stockbroker chap.....

No he should not have been sacked, I should expect that much worse is said everyday in a joke like fashion amongst the staff, in any office, of any business premises .

Providing you are not the one that is hit I presume?

May be this witty wag who confessed to often tweeting nonsense did not take his job too seriously either and the Stockbroker company for whom he worked considered him an employee they could not afford. That might be the real reason he was.... err .....told to get on a bike!!! They just waited for the ammunition so to speak.
