This cheered me up:
A twunt in a black Nissan R32 Skyline was heading towards me having gone round a roundabout and then overtook a car without looking. I had to take evasive action and nearly had a head on. I gave him the 3 fingered salute and drove on.
The twunt turned around and followed me. As I got to my destination, I slowed down, he overtook did a Ue and drove towards me. My 'crew' - one Glasweigian of dynamic proportions and another of equal size were in the passenger seats. As soon as he neared, both fellas jumped out ready to tw4t him. He effed and blinded and waved his fist at me and drove off, presumeably not realising I had company.
In case he recognised me on my bike and decided on something silly, I elected to report him to the police. They knew of him and said they 'would have a word'.
Yesterday, the aforementioned Skyline was on the back of a trailer, roof completely caved in. He didn't roll it, he went under a bloody truck. Only minor injuries and I am just waiting for the court files in the local rag to see if they throw the book at him, so maybe more smiles to come.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Crossing the Tyne Bridge after I've been working down south - not until I'm north of the Tyne am I home.
When I lived in the North East, it was the first sight of Penshaw Monument. Now I live in Fleet, it's the sight of Fleet Pond (aka "the biggest muddy puddle in Hampshire") from the train.0 -

I used to like that too when I worked up in town
BTW it's Hampshire's largest freshwater lake :P"Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

Finally realizing why the word "Caesar" bothers me so much. It's because the 'a' and 'e' look like they're really mad at each other.0

I don't know when you did your dissertation, or what you looked at. The place looks beautiful, sure enough, but the "muddy puddle" nickname is because it was so silted up that ducks appeared to walking on water. They've been dredging it for over a year now and building new islands with the silt.
Another thing that cheers me up is cycling round the pond to the train station on the rare days when I go to London.0 -

I know what you mean, when I was a kid it was far worse, you'd see people get out of boats in the middle and only be a foot or two deep in water :shock:
It all came from two of the streams that flow into the pond and dump silt from the army land and also the towns surface water drainage, probably too much info and a bit geeky that I know that
Like you say though a stunning place.
On the subject of things making you happy I used to love standing on the station platform when I worked in London and see and hear the geese flying in "Arran, you are like the Tony Benn of smut. You have never diluted your depravity and always stand by your beliefs. You have my respect sir and your wife my pity"

My family being out, a quality mug of tea and finding a favourite film while channel hopping.
Finding chocolate.

Opening up the linen basket then going to the other side of the room and dropping my undies, and in one deft flick of my right foot watching them sail through the air and land 'slam dunk' straight in the basket. YES! And even though the Missus tends to shake her head and sigh it does cheer me up no end.0
