The wonderfully cool and smooth other side of the pillow

Blue sky and sun shining through spring-fresh green leaves

The cork's joyful pop

Small arms around your neck that tighten when you start to let go

Marzipan, o beautiful sweet rich marzipan

Singing in harmony with 40 other voices

Watching the groom's face when the bride arrive... but now I'm going off topic onto Big Things.

when something sets you and your friends off laughing, and then it catches your imagination and sense of humour and takes off like a forest fire... each time you begin to calm down and talk normally again, the laughter bug set off again...

the best feeling!

ps. On average, children laugh 270 times a day and adults laugh 17 times

now that's not funny, help folks, what are we going to do about this!!!

Keep making me laugh forum, need to get my daily count up by about 200...

seems neither tiny nor irrational to be joyful about that one. think the most common reason people have (rather than the ones they give in job interviews) is hating their boss

Oh baby I got so much more, there is so much out there guaranteed to bring a smile.

It is indeed a wonderful world, and it's often easy to overlook.


That rum is the best though.

A family of long tailed tits feeding in the garden,

runner beans climbing up the canes,

a plum tree smothered in plums,

birds nesting in my garden always makes me feel like I'm honoured,

unexpected visit or phone call from a long lost friend,

Work

Unexpected large order because of swine flue,

large payment dropping into my bank account,

ordered goods with long lead time arriving early,

Play

In a club and pulling,

making the company laugh out loud from a wicked remark,

Random

an act of kindness,

someone who truly loves you looking out for you,

Scoring drugs in a foreign country.

Getting let out of work early.

Getting paid for days you skived off.

Getting it up after a biblical skin full.

Successfully blaming a fart on someone else and watch them take the flak.

Spliff in the bath. Quite overwhelming the first time though.

Bunking the train in this day and age.

Finding a tenner or a bluey on the street.

Football season ending. Can't stand football.

Giving my Dad a sound whipping at Golf.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident.

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
