This little story caught my eye earlier for all the wrong reasons, because it reads like something from one of my own short stories, or perhaps from Paul Brazill’s wonderful collection of hapless tales The Last Laugh.
Basically a man was convicted of assault and sentenced to carry out unpaid work. He refused, twice, and was caught boasting about it on social media.
The judge’s response was to jail him – and make the highly appropriate comment in court of ‘LOL’.
Clearly a man after my own heart!
