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.

      Albrighton Community Fridge, Dog Kennel Hill

      Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.

      Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
