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


Recommended Posts

Ignorant posh sunbathers in various local parks (especially goose green), who take up an entire space with their offspring shouting loudly and giving me a headache every time I walk across that footpath.


Louisa.

The certain knowledge that the doc and quids are circling, like sharks...poised and ready to go in for the kill.


Patient and waiting. But will maxxi or LM swoop from the sidelines in a cruel twist of fate and claim that glittering prize?


Only time will tell...

Answering the phone to a "I understand you were involved in an accident that wasn't your fault" caller, which gives me the chance to reply "Oh you mean the one I died in"


The joy of the long pause before the phone going dead, is immeasurable

Ah, thank you, another arrow in the quiver. My tried and trusted has been "Oh my God, was I? Have I been hurt?"

Have you come across the one on the mainline platform at Blackfriars? Less announcement, more a sustained commentary on life. Can only imagine he uses the daytime job to practice for the comedy circuit.

Two subjects currently making me chuckle, for different reasons - both in Businesses section "Continuous Banister" which I read as "Continuous Barrister" and the other "Pipes groan after toilet flush - plumber needed" - does the OP need plumber or a doctor...

Walking over Goose Green this afternoon and seeing the children playing in the two huge heaps of fallen leaves, one at each end of the green.


And the other morning seeing out of the kitchen window at least eight sparrows all having a bath together in a bowl of water on a table in my garden.

The last couple of weeks the robins around here seem to have become more active again, or perhaps just more visible as the summer birds leave. A robin singing in a tree is a huge joy.

    • I’m broadly in agreement with you, Dogkennelhillbilly. But why the meme? It’s a very unfair representation of Sean Dyche, a man who to my knowledge has never engaged in any culture war bollocks. From his Wikipedia entry: Dyche features in an internet meme criticising modern trends in football, in which the phrase "utter woke nonsense" is attributed to him; he said "I wish I'd copyrighted it. Considering I didn’t actually say it, it does follow me around".
    • Whisky Macs, like Harvey's Bristol Cream and Cinzano Bianco & lemonade, are a taste of Christmas past sadly lost to many. A little Whisky Mac and icing sugar whisked through whipping cream makes a festive accompaniment to stollen or Christmas pudding.
    • Legal matters are notoriously slow.  There is no rule that communication has to be via email, fax or letter. If the issue is that you want to claim damages to the property because of poor practice, you would have to lodge a complaint with the ombudsman, but surely the one to suffer the most is the “gold digger” beneficiary?    If that is not the wrong that needs righting, what is? 
    • We're looking for a second hand / ex display kitchen to install late November / early December. If anyone is renovating / getting a new kitchen in the next month and looking to sell on or get rid of their old units and appliances please do get in touch. Many thanks
