Default Simple Pleasures

After watching things like the red bull air race, then the BSB super bikes on telly, and on friday wander out of the hanger i work in to watch a Honda touring car join the list of things not to beat a Tonka F3. I wondered if i was missing out on something as i looked on all of the above with out even being remotely interested.

Today however i went for a run in the pouring rain. The best thing about it was i didn't have young families with push chairs along the river side. I didn't have to wonder whether that dog i was running towards was going to take a chunk out of my calve. For once i had half an hour on my own just me and my thoughts and the p*ssing rain BLISS.

So what are your simple pleasures

Life itself is a pleasure to me

My sons are what makes me now.

Long Live ME

Watching my son playing with his toys or investing something new. It gives me more pleasure watching his face light up in wonder or delight than anything else in the world.

Although reading a good book while having a poo does come a close second.

Absolutely! Doesn't feel right unless I've got something to read.

If there aren't any books or magazines to hand I still have to find something, so read the label of a shampoo bottle or similar.

How can going for a dump be described as pleasurable? .....ok I suppose if your'e busting, but that's just for the relief. No 2's for me are akin to an SAS hit. In quick, release the hostage, and then make like the shepherd; and get the flock out of there!

Going for a walk along the river bank on any day with my kids in their push chair and my dog, and not having to worry about sweaty self satisfied prats blundering in to us in their garish lycra and Nikes

Weird isn't it? And I like the way they use the 'directions' to plug their other products... "massage shampoo into hair, then rinse. For best results, use Frizzeeze(TM) conditioner after washing. Then follow up with Frizzeeze(TM) serum. Dry using Frizzeeze(TM) Hair Dryer, and for a healthy shine use Frizzeeze(TM) hair food"

Luckily, being a bloke, I just 'Wash and Go'(TM).

If only children were picked up on their spelling mistakes at school as often as people are on here. This country would not be in the state it is today.

Who was pulling ANYONE up on spelling? I was merely making a humorous pun!

Christ, talk about over-sensitive!

The smell of cut grass.

And having a poo whilst reading something. I tend to find the more expensive the conditioner, the longer the names of the ingredients.
