January, am I right?
On the whole, January isn’t a huge amount of banter.
People give up alcohol, sweets, singing Christmas carols and basically everything that is good and fun.
Luckily, these same people turn to Twitter and channel their pent up frustrations into comedy gold.
Topics discussed this month included very specific muggings, Jim Henson’s ability to think on his feet, the shortcomings of Fyre Festival, Mo Salah’s astounding generosity and the prowess of Sooty & Sweep.
Here’s 25 tweets you probably scrolled past because you were too busy thinking about your impending mortality.
