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.

    • How do you know what the fox wanted to do if it didn’t do it. 
    • Quote "it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me." Doesn't say clearly that it tried to bite you , but instead implies that you had the impression, right or wrong that it wanted to nip you.  unless you are clear others will read it how you write it.  As for being a jobsworth, what a quaint old expression, haven't heard that for a long while. 
    • Crook locks can be sawn through, or the steering wheel to which it is attached, I know to my own cost. The safest additional security measure is what's called a ghost immobiliser, which cannot be traced through the car's electronics, meaning it is difficult to bypass. They cost a bomb however. 
    • I’ve reported two instances of mobile phone theft to 999 in recent times. On both occasions several police units have arrived very quickly - in one case they found the perpetrator.
