It's contagious, and it's official (aka Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Joy)

Recommended Posts

I, for one, have loved the 'Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage' thread...

It's been a great place to get the irratations of life it 'off your chest' and onto the forum


However, as happiness is now officially contagious, shall we see if we can beat the negative with the positive?

I will start with that first sip of tea in the morning... total bliss...


Now... I am waiting with fingers crossed, one down and only 315 posts to go...

And on from there Quids, the sound of your child's voice, and your voice, throughout your lives.

My boy is an adult, but when I pick up the'phone and hear the words "Hello Dad" the joy of the unconditional love I gave him as an infant is right there with me.

There might follow a conversation of numpty banality, Swiftian wit or something in between, but we always tell each other 'Love you' on parting.

[quote name='Bredan:-

Would it be in bad taste for me to mention Keira Knightley?s breasts at this point?]



Absolutely not Brendan' date=' well within the spirit of the thread, what ever makes you happy!

Little white ball going in the correct direction


Waking up with huge hangover about 10am, panic its a weekday and you have overslept for work and realising with great relief its the weekend

Aw, thanks for the thanks about my "Tiny Little Things..." thread! I hereby return the favour.


Nothing beats waking up, turning over and looking at the clock and realising it's only ten past five and you can go back to sleep for another nearly two whole hours!


(Conversely there's not much more annoying than waking up half an hour before the alarm goes off. Not enough time to get back to sleep properly, but just long enough that you'll be yawning at your desk all day.)


I think you should change the title of the thread though - apparently you get more hits with a title that sounds like a Fall album!

    • How about the view of the EDT from over the road  with that palm tree in the middle of  the roundabout?
    • Hi, we’ve also had an increase of about 30% with no explanation on why the council is incurring in these costs.  no water, heating bills or works planned, just regular maintenance. It would be great to share information here on how things develop because if this continues to happen each year, services charges will be impossible to keep up with. 
    • This is disingenuous nonsense. There was a massive jump in cycling, above the trend, during COVID (when public transport numbers also fell through the floor). Despite fewer workers commuting daily into central London, cycling is up on pre-pandemic levels, which is not true for other modes of transport. The number of people cycling in central London has more than doubled since 2000 and cyclists now out number motorists in the City.
    • Very thoughtful and illuminating post.  I've never been attacked, and seen few incidents over the years.  Most worrying has been road rage and whilst I have been in the right, you learn when not to challenge someone (difficult at times to say can you please give me space, look before you turn and the like).  When I first came to London you'd see the odd brawl outside a pub, but it felt worse when I lived in more rural areas - bored youths and more tribal (the Abingdon youths having a brawl with Didcot).  Had one break in, two cars and three bikes stolen whilst I have been in London, although all but one bike not particularly valuable.  Breaking into builders vans seems the current trend, and stealing some high end motors - the latter was common when I worked on this issue twenty years ago so hasn't been sorted. But ultimately most of us are decent people, and our kids grow up to be decent people.  Although my peer group is people like you DD so I am somewhat biased!  How much greed/Thatchers children has changed things over the last forty years I don't know.  Of course nothing wrong with individuals wanting to be successful and to be a new owner/occupier in this area now you need to have some money behind you rather than us old hippies who moved in when it was a very different area.  And the high costs of renting too. Good points on the gangs, sadly I don't know the solutions.  I work with younger children and sometimes wonder how it can go so wrong in a few years time.
