Having a crap in office hours - less to carry home & you get paid to sit and squeeze out a length.

What makes you look on life more favourably?

    A lack of wind.

    Traffic lights just turning green as you approach them, before you ease off.

    Waking up thinking you've slept through your alarm to find out you still have another hour or two in bed before the alarm is due to go off.

    Getting a cuddle from the kids at the end of the day, on the odd occasions I'm back in time for them to still be awake

    Being me.

    Enjoying all the things I love on the level only I could love them because they're of value to me. And as I'm me I'm the only one who can understand that value.

    I got an A for GCSE but when some Physics PhD student friends of mine tried to use a pub menu to describe how time and the universe is "folded", I got a bit lost.

    Most, if not all, of DDD's posts.

    A tailwind (although I've heard they're just a myth).

    A good stretch, back-scratch, and ear-cleaning with a Johnson & Johnson cotton bud.

    I may not have a PhD in Physics but I would most likely understand much of the conversation. I'm afraid I can be something of an engineering bore at dinner parties especially on the subject of diesel engine systems and naval architecture, but I feel you would understand more about that than the a concept of the universe and time being folded as a ship is something a little more tangible

    After 4 pints I would've thought that not only would you have got it, but also be putting forward alternative theories of relativity?

    Never mind that, do you understand the offside rule!?

    Also, having an incredibly long pee after holding it to the point where it borders painful and bursting...

    Those are so enjoyable your legs feel like jelly....

    Hmm, good at maths, crap at origami, likes hungover sex. I'm sorry, the origami thing's the dealbreaker.
