fred22 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 A work colleague was a POW during WWII and, on coming back to England ,a group of them were interviewed at the docks by BBC radio and, on being asked what pleasures they were looking forward to now they were back home, one replied, "sitting on a toilet seat to have a ***t." Ah! the simple things in life but, thinking about it, a luxury too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohgrandma Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 A baby's smile. Birdsong at anytime. The sound of the sea. Newly mown lawn. Happy people. and many more too numerous to mention. (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopesy Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 LordThornber - 2009-03-12 2:23 PM Going into a pub, in the middle of goodness knows where after a good trek and finding they keep a top quality cask beer that I recognise, bliss. PS, Howie, that was a classic mate Martyn, hic :D Martyn you took the words out of my mouth. To put a damper on things a mate of mine went to hospital last wednesday with bad headaches and double vision. By sunday they'd turned off the life support, he'd had a tumor he didn't know anything about(obviously). He was 41 with a 6 year old and a 3 year old. So last night i was thinking that there a lot of things that give me pleasure and i should cherish them all, life is too short for negative things and i've been ranting on here a bit lately. So positive things and take pleasure from the simple things. Sorry everyone but i feel better now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandyAndy Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I am a hoplessly emotional person and many things bring lumps to my throat and tears to my eyes. But the ones I cherish the most are those that just appear with no planning. I remember standing by the mountain stream in the Aire at Le Bresse listening to the water rush over the stones and the sun shinning down and for some reason I just stood and cried, no reason just so happy to be alive. That happened 2 weeks after my friends 9 year old daughter fell ill on the Tuesday evening and passed away on the Thursday for no reason, and it made me realise she would never hear or see any thing like I was experiencing there again. Gawd, I'm off again now. Mandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howie Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Watching a young lady walk off with £250.000 on 'Deal or no Deal' earlier on. Already accepted a offer of £17.500, but when it came down to either 1p or the £250.000 took up the bankers offer of giving back the £17.500 and went for broke. All drama, but she did win the big one, and what a wonderful start to adult life for this youngster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J9withdogs Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I haven't watched it for ages, Howie - wasn't it amazing? The banker's getting pretty mean with his offers nowadays though, isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Not usually my cup of tea Janine, but really enjoy this show. Missed the only time the £250.000 went before and great to see a youngster win it this time. ........... Cutting off that piece of fat when the Sunday joint comes out of the oven and slowly savouring the flavour as it melts in your mouth. Mmmm, i,m dribbling already.

Hymer C 9. Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Going for a walk and my granddaughter running up and slipping her hand into mine. Seeing my 13 year old grandson turning into a teenager and still having the time to give his Nan a hug, things that cost nothing but mean the world to me.
