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.

    • To be fair, a pot of tea for one in a department store is a small pot, and you only get one cup or mug!
    • I know - we have been here lots of times since it first opened,  which is why we were disappointed that it was closed at a time it was supposed to be open, but with no notice to say why! I guess we will just  have to ask the reason at our next visit, but I'm not sure we will risk Saturday lunchtime again unless we find the closure  was an unavoidable one off ....
    • Nope. I don’t have this wrong. I’ve tried to put my point across respectfully, without resorting to personal, angry insults. And all my colleagues agree that the BBC got this right in its condemnation.    All you see is confirmation bias.    If you don’t realise that, then you’re part of the problem.    
    • We have always gone during the week at lunch time - great place and good value. Husband has been several times on his own and owner knows his first name. I could not go one time for some reason and she sent him home with some spring rolls (free)
