[Closed] What has made you smile today?

A moment (or three in this case) on the lips, a lifetime on the hips.

The thought that it's Friday, and on Friday's I finish at 3. Which is in less than 45min 🙂

Flirting with older women in my office. Love it.

my three year old son, sat quietly on the floor in his pants, watching numbertums on TV...

wearing plastic beakers on his feet

a proper TopGun moment

What looked like F-14 (possibly a F-15, twin tail fins anyway) passing low overhead and then pulling up into the sky leaving mini contrails from the tips of its wings as it did so. The contrails were visible for far longer than the plane was, dissipating slowly in a patch of sunlight. Big Smile for me 🙂

Listening to Jonnie Peacocks mum on the radio this morning.

The fact that Planet Rock are currently playing Ballroom Blitz......by HER!

They wail!

My mortgage payments being reduced.

Finding that my eldest has loaded my iPhone with Bauhaus

Six music played this when I turned the radio on this morning....

😀

My two and a half year old boy going back to nursery 😀

The fact that this time tomorrow (and for the rest of next week) I'll be chilling by the pool in Menorca 🙂

The queue at immigration out of Macau consisting of only one Chinese guy letting me get some beers in early

Thinking about some of the trails I was riding with Bike Verbier last week, especially Spanish Inquisition, Brazilian and the insanely good new one somewhere off the back of the bowl that might not even have a name yet. Roll on 2013...

Blimey, Bauhaus! Mint.

Cycling at lunchtime. Nice and hot, not a cloud in the sky and some beatuiful english countryside. Magic.

Tasting the warm bread I made by hand this morning.

Now the video binners posted, not heard that before.

I know this is immature and crude, but I did THE most tuneful, deep, rich and prolonged bottom burp when i woke up this morning. It resonated through the whole room, even getting a laugh from mrs peterfile before she jumped out of the bed screaming

Just for you!

The fact that that's me done for the week. Have a good weekend y'all 😀

My sister-in-law has finally fully moved out! \o/ Nice girl, but it's a bit weird spending a quarter of your married life with a relative in the house...

Call me an old soppy bugger but am transferring all my home videos of the kids to DVD, cheesey grin time here at some of the memories etc

No more bivvi bag loans for you!

hahah, the bivi bag would have lifted right off the ground like a balloon 🙂

Got to ride across town to hunt for something in an awesome hardware store because we couldn't describe it properly over the phone. Lovely morning

Sitting in the garden in the sunshine, I need more sun in my life! (whilst enjoying the fact that 'cos it's September it's not ridiculously hot!)

Its my Birthday and i got an Titas frame 🙂

packing my rucksack, for a weeks offroad touring/beer drinking with 6 of the sweary northerners.
starting tonight with bottles of badger golden glory.

I had a not very strange boner. For once.

That my LBS Streetlife Cycles recently closed due to the owner concentrating on his other store many miles away will be reopening under new ownership by a former staff member next month !

got out on the bike for the first time in weeks. Sunny and warm as well 8)

The fact that my wife yesterday found out where we may be moving to for her next work placement.... I will need a fatbike 8)

USA! (United State of America) Special Forces Unconventional warfare Manual?

This thread^

Just done 38 off road miles in ready for keilder next week and I am going to pick my son up from school 😀

Sunshine outside. My 4 year old boy coming back from school and running in to see me. Being able to pedal forward on an exercise bike for the first time in 3 months - I might even get to pedal a real bike tomorrow (been off the bike since May after a knee op - been a crap summer). Kaesae's USA thread.

Barnaby on vermin control...

Hey..what, me? No, I've been asleep here all day...

4 hour ride in the sunshine with the mrs, blast round the local woods some beers more riding and home for a curry. Lovely.

going home in 2 minutes - 45 minutes through the woods then a very cold beer here:

A Test ProjMgr has just told me "come back in November"

I think I will...

8)

rogerthecat - thanks for that. In actual fact, googling the track and having a listen was the first thing I did after your post reminded me about it. Again, mint!

Chatting to the lovely couple on the tandem at Slaidburn's YHA, then finding a route back which avoided Waddington Fell (steep). Also the compliments they gave me on my bike, as if it was the most technically advanced piece of bicycle technology they'd ever seen!

And the little girl trying to diagnose why the loo door won't shut on the train while a train chap with a torch keenly listened.

But not my puncture today. That was assballs.

Having to go to a meeting 8 miles away, and those 8 miles mostly coinciding with the canal.

15 miles of towpath riding in the sun, looking at the ducks and swans and the sunlight glinting off the water. On the company time. Sweet.

Mrsmitch recieving two and a half grand from a PPI claim - that's the spending money for the states sorted!

Just found out that my Ex has found out about me going on a date tomorrow 8)

For once not unhappy about the bunch of people who can't keep their mouths shut and pretend to be my friends! LOL

Today I took my 2 week old daughter to the pub for the first time, we had a nice walk there, nice lunch and a nice walk back. She was awake the hole time and didn't cry once, very content little girl and very proud dad 😀

2 bike rides in one day. Very muddy (still) and I loved every minute of it. 😀 😀 😀 Had to work between them though, but I am still smiling.

Donna the middle aged lady from the office proclaiming

''as you get older, you start to go drier''

during a conversation about sweet wine.. many laughs followed.

Memo to Samsung (005930): Now this is how you get away with copying Apple (AAPL)! GizChina reports that a Chinese manufacturer has used leaked photos of Apple’s next-generation iPhone to slap together a quick knockoff of the device called the Goophone I5 and release it before Apple has a chance to launch the genuine article later this month. What’s more, the company has actually patented the knockoff design in China and is poised to sue Apple if it launches the next-generation iPhone in China later this year.

Working with a female colleague this morning on G wing. She was wearing a small cardboard box on her head (that I'd put there) & 4 prisoners came to the office & never said anything about it. The 5th one came & started laughing, which set me off.

Went for a walk with a beautiful girl and a [s] beautiful[/s] pug... 🙂

Found someone had left £15 behind the till in the beer shop next door. No idea who..,

Making my first batch of 60 litres of fresh apple juice.
Followed by chatting for over an hour with a very nice lady i'm seeing.
And then the day gets topped off with an Osprey stopping over for a few dips into the local reservoir.

It's been a day full of smiles

Out on a walk with the dog to recon some trails and stepping on a real soft spot, just over ankle deep in sludge with the dog in my arms. Swore at first like, but the smile shone through. 🙂

Jason Smyth, green machine fastest paralympian on the planet.

A foxy Quebecois lady smiled at me today. Went all gooey inside 😀 I'm too old for her 🙁 I need more beer to get her out of my mind.

Doing an underground services survey today on some waste ground near Xxxxxx when a local came out to see what I was up to...

Now, this was a curtain twitching sort of area, nice properties, neighbourhood watch signs everywhere, I got the feeling the people would be like the folk from Stampford in Hot Fuzz, well kept but OTT garden flower arrangements in a bid for best kept subverb or something.

Anyway, he of course asked what I was doing etc and what for

" a playground I think swings, slides, roundabout some gardens I think"

"Oh that will be lovely, I was hoping it would become a park and not get built upon. You know, they wanted to build flats on it a few years ago, flats, imagine! I thought about buying the plot myself you know to turn it into a park"

Imagine his face when he finds out its going to be covered with affordable housing!

Oh how It made me chuckle.

riding to work in the sun for 35 miles pretending i was wiggo

kept smiling all day after

going home in 2 minutes - 45 minutes through the woods then a very cold beer here:

Whitstable! That's in my top 10 favourite places, haven't been there for a while- my Kawasaki's been laid up 🙁

Watching Alan Olivera stroll through a 400m then Oscar Pistorious take it even easier to win by 10 seconds. Loving the mind games, tomorrows final is going to be worth waiting for.

And seeing Hannah Cockroft at the start of most ad breaks on channel 4- she always makes me smile, smiles for miles!

Otters

Not really something hat should make you smile but ... A Friend of mine lost his life yesterday morning, shot by accident, and in between the wtf moments the genuine volume, range and depth of love for him made me smile. He always had a smile on his dial and was a top bloke. Went for a run this morning as the sun came up and thought about how fragile life can be.

I've finished my Cotic X build ready for a ride tomorrow. Got my wife's mudguards and computer fitted to her commuter as well but that's not making me smile so much.

Fixed my dad's 10 year old string trimmer yesterday. Disassembled and cleaned the carb, cleaned the muffler and replaced the spark arrestor, and a few other minor things and got it running.

Today, tried to start it cold. Close choke, push primer bulb, pull starter cord, it fires once. Open choke, pull starter cord again, and it starts right up, exactly as it should when new! 😀

A decent nights sleep last night after a week of crap ones. 😀

Finding out that my post holiday credit card bill was far smaller than I had feared. 😯

Telling a Canadian work college an old and tired joke, but he laughed like a drain anyway. 😆

A few pints of Fosters, a meal out in a pub all paid for by the MiL and a very very large rum in my house. I think it was the rum that made me smile.

My wife

A small boy.

A lad riding Dalby red route in a bikini top. Really!

My eldest found about £15 in 50ps that I had saved many years ago

A skein of geese have just flown over my house. I smiled.

The 'luxury 4x4' thread - comedy genius from my perspective although I have a feeling it's not meant to be...

2 things from me -

Firstly, my wife putting on our wedding song at dinner tonight, it our 11th wedding anniversary today.

&

Secondly seen the photo of my late Mother who I said goodbye to on Wednesday 🙁 ( happy smilies and memories, thanks Mummy )

Went to war with a bunch of seized bolts on the car. Phyrric victory.
