What made you smile today?

[HOOVER29]

Cocky little kid trying out stunts on his push scooter. Tried a jump & spin move & face planted.
Right into the biggest puddle for miles around.
His face when he got up was a picture.
Soaked to the skin.

made me laugh anyway

Finishing work this morning at 04:35, getting soaked walking across the car park & sighing as the barrier went up to let me out knowing I’ve got 3 days off & a family visit to London to see my nieces & nephews which is always a great day.

Oh and seeing that large puddle & remembering that kid face planting.

Can I revive this thread? Always good to read about what's making people smile!

A video of my 18 month old niece and my mum's new puppy striding across the room together like partners in crime.

The Mandalorian.. OoOooOOOOooo I just got the buzz back for Star Wars after disappointing few years.

Finding out that the obnoxious and extremely abusive drunk that caused us a large delay this morning when he was physically dragged off the train wasn't as hard as he thought he was while he was balling his eyes out in the back of a Police van.

I'm not sure this should have made me smile, given, as has been widely pointed out, the gravity of the subject matter and the gross imbalance of power between the victims and the perpetrators. But maybe the victims could take some comfort from the widespread public reaction to "the interview", neatly summed up by one Charlie Proctor as;

“I expected a train wreck. That was a plane crashing into an oil tanker, causing a tsunami, triggering a nuclear explosion-level bad."

Driving around in the van yesterday with Mrs C and our friends three year old daughter (both redheads) sat in the front with me, pretending that she was our new child.

Started reading "We Need To Talk About Kevin". Already it is brilliant. Also finishing the last book I read, HHhH which was amazing. A very good mate of mine can pick out a good book and generally passes them on to me.

I’ve been meaning to read this for ages.
Damn. Yet again I wish we lived closer to each other!

That sounds good but as I can't read (or write) I've bought the DVD.

How did you know what it said on the box?

I doesn't really matter as I haven't got a television.

Oh well that makes perfect sense.
Carry on.

Still chuckling at the reviews of a certain restaurant, then being inadvertently reminded of them by watching that War of the Worlds thing on the BBC iPlayer ...

and this (contains moderate bad language):

I found this short animation film on a climbing site I use. Gave me a good old chuckle !

A fine effort from students at the Ecole des Nouvelles Images in Avignon.

That skier's eyes were so expressive, especially when they used him as a bridge.

Watching the Conservative broadcast on Channel 4 and Boris Johnson saying the Brexit deal is oven-ready - just bung it in the microwave.

A pair of tits.

I've never seen long tailed tits (Aegithalos caudatus) on the bird feeder before.

What do your tits like to nibble on?

I think you've got that the wrong way round.

BTW - I had a look at the "We Need To Talk About Kevin" DVD yesterday but was rather disappointed. It was the same as all the others - round and shiny with a hole in the middle.

I've not seen the film but a mate of mine who is an avid reader said to read the book first. It is really good (Whilst at the same time being horrific/disturbing).

I've seen the film and was not impressed, I suspect those who like the book would be disappointed. I certainly didn't find the film horrific nor disturbing although the subject matter should have been both.

Give the book a go chief, really good. Apologies in advance if you hate it. Ha ha.

Unfortunately I can't give the book a go, as I said earlier in this thread:

Maybe we could serialise it one word at time for you?
What’s the first word in the book Fowler9? This shouldn’t take too long.

Sorry mate, completely replied to the wrong person.

I think it is "His". I"ll have to check.

That's good, now give me the last word and I'll fill in the rest.

Ha ha. Will have to tell you later. The book is at home and I'm out chasing 802's.
