Today I'm happy about......

[Bruce Rioja]

Went into Tesco today, to the electronics area, linked my phone via Bluetooth to a speaker and put on 'Billericay Dickie' on at full blast and wandered around the area.

Childish ? Yep, but made me smile.


Maybe 'Derek & Clive, Live' next.

You, Sir, are a genius.

[Dujon]

Thanks, Monty and our Jolly Roger friend. I hadn't realised that there were so many different biplanes used in WWII.

Indeed, it sounds very difficult, is it?

Spent a happy half hour in the sunny garden today after work reading stories to the twins as they munched on ice lollies. It's the simple things in life!

Tonight, I'm happy that this hero made it to Normandy to be with, and remember, those who fought alongside him.

Heard about him on the way home. Isn't he utterly outstanding?!

Indeed. There's also a story out there about a fella who parachuted into Normandy earlier - seventy years since the last time he did it!

On a similar theme, the coverage of today's memorial service has been fantastic.

[TANGODANCER]

Love that man. He should get a special medal just for that. Magical.

[thebish]

oh - doing this would make me happy!

[thebish]

never underestimate the sheer restorative joy that can be had by burning stuff - and sitting to watch with a glass of red wine, getting up every now and again to poke it and pile more stuff on!

[bobo the clown]

↑↑↑ oh yes. Barbecuing on a diet.

The joy of singeing your eyebrows off and the ash at the end when every scrap has gone.

One has to admire that spark arrester, thebish, a triumph of engineering in my opinion.

it's too wet over here to worry about spark-arresters!

Ambleside tea shoppe. Cumbrian's pride themselves on being blunder and more direct that even Yorkshire folk.

So maybe I shouldn't have been surprised when the waitress arrived at the table behind me with a diet coke and a milk shake. She took a look at the slim 60 odd year old and the more full figured on and said to the slim one "diet coke .... I guess that'll be for you then !"

Haha. Were you in 'The Apple Pie', Bobo?

[Bruce Rioja]

This. In fact 'Happy' doesn't even get anywhere near it.

The Roundhouse looks like an absolutely perfect venue for them. You're in for a proper treat.

[Prufrock]

My fav venue full stop so yeah, hopefully I can drag someone else's sorry arse there!

Our local exiled Scouser (well he's from Port Sunlight which is close enough) and our resident Glaswegian (is there anywhere that hasn't got one) have just had a bust up outside the pub... It was hilarious, plenty of ethnic shouting (I don't know which accent's worse and which most comical) followed by about four telegraphed punches none of which landed followed by the Glaswegian falling over and cracking his head on a table. Ambulance and coppers now in attendance. [ half past four in the fecking afternoon!].
