We already have a troll; it used to live under the Severn Bridge. Still, the atmosphere wouldn't be the same without you. Welcome.

It's funny you should say that. I live near the old Severn Bridge and used to cycle down there and sit under it when I was a kid. These days, you'd probably get arrested.

BTW, I don't recognise the name. Who are you in real life?

Edit: I think I've worked it out - who you are that is, not a cure for constipation.

My identity is not really secret. I just felt like using my normal forum / gaming name rather than the old name based one.

As for trolls and bridges, I suppose I shouldn't encourage continued mis-use of the term. Trolling really has nothing to do with Scandinavian folklore, goat eaters and bridges. It is a fishing term originally used on BBS and Usenet when someone deliberately posts provocative remarks hoping to get someone to bite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolling_(fishing). It is only the media that have really corrupted the term to its current use in describing someone who is deliberately vindictive towards particular individuals and online harassment.
