Smile of the day - What is yours?

[maviczap]

Found the other part of the 12v accessory socket which I'd been looking months for, so now I can wire that into Bib's device and have a proper 12v supply for my phone & other devices!

Also found some pushbike parts I'd also been hunting high & low for, although one pair of pedals is still MIA

[maviczap]

Going all the way to Wales to see Blur, bouncing around in the crazy area a few rows from the stage then getting shoved right to the front. When you're little it's the best place to watch from. Now I'm sitting on the beach outside the venue in Llandudno. What a great night.

Aaah post gig euphoria, only trouble is the come down or waiting for the next show can't come soon enough.

I need a 4D experience bubble so I can revisit the great nights I've had a t shows, especially as I haven't been to any for 2 years :(

My euphoria did not stretch to skinny dipping like some did! And I don't have to wait too long, I'm seeing them at Hyde Park next week. :D

[Amadeus]

skinny dipping :D

One of the worlds innocent pleasures! :-)

[DJFridge]

Smile of the day? Cycling down to the pub with Mrs to have a sneaky pint while we waited for eldest to finish work (he's not 16 yet and he has his first job as a pot washer, quite proud of him). Mmmmm, sneaky pint

[BanannaMan]

Saw this on Fakebook today and it made me smile.

Sorry Milton Keynes

Apology accepted

Apology accepted

:D

[Kenzie]

Not sure if this is a smile or not but I took my Civic over the Hardknott pass the other day. Totally cacked myself! Don't think I will be in a rush to do it again!

[Littlepeahead]

Even in the rain Wales is beautiful

Too tired to sort anything tonight, photo's tomorrow.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Going out to horse show, youngest worked hard with his new(ish) horse and really proved that they will be good together, eldest worked really well all day opening gates, telling people where to park and then picking up poles in the show jumping, then DJ put it all on the Pony Club website so that everyone can see what's happening. I love it when we get the truly rare day when we are all together as a family, if only bikes were involved.

[7755matt]

Having been out for a cracking day cycling in South Wales. I could really have done with an engine to get up the Tumble and Caerphilly mountain, but it was a beautiful day with good friends

[Trev B]

Big smile.Got back from the TT last night,11 days of Paradise,great racing and atmosphere,did a personal best lap of 53 minutes on Sunday,if you've never been,DO IT!!!

[Sir Trev]

Seeing my old buddy Nigel today for the first time in years. A quick coffee and chat turned into four hours of putting the world to rights and lunch at Rykas. And then I had a nice ride home.

[Kenzie]

Finally got the root extracted today. Bit sore and a little fuzzy after being put under.

[Littlepeahead]

Going to an Eagles Of Death Metal gig at Koko and Joshua Homme turned up to play drums.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/17/fe0d3f2548be8e05bbb8942d73d90e2f.jpg

Proper rock and roll gig it was too. But I had sneakily check my phone to keep up with the cricket antics until England won, so all in all a great night.

[Luckypants]

I should have posted yesterday, met our very own tame solicitor Ed for coffee in Liverpool, played hookey from work for an hour :D

Today's smile is; the bike is insured for another year for £80 comprehensive :cool:

[Trev B]

Saw Hondas latest green bike last week undergoing testing in Douglas,rider looked like Wayne Gardener!!!

[garynortheast]

The first wild strawberries of the year. Tasty!

[Littlepeahead]

Ending a frantically stressful and busy week with a 2 hour lunch with my favourite colleague and he picked up the tab and we had beer and wine in work hours.

Now I'm going to leave early and go to the T20 at Essex tonight which is almost work but with more wine.

[Nutsinatin]

Saw a drainage company call Suck-Cess, smiled all the way home!

[Bluepete]

Awesome Father's Day pressie!

This is mine brewed just down the road!!!

[Swin]

Tickets for the Sisters of Mercy have arrived, and made an old goth very happy :)

[Littlepeahead]

I saw them years ago and they were brilliant.

[Swin]

I saw them last on the Black October tour, which was 2/10/85 I think, so it'll be just over 30 years to the day when I see them next!!

[edit] just checked and it was November '85, so just under 30 years by 2 weeks when I see them next

[NTECUK]

The difference between filtering with the baffles in to out

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

My smile is taking youngest cross country jumping, last time it was terrible, this time it was lovely, I love to see a smile on the face of my child. Second smile oldest has finally finished GCSG's latin was last one today, stress now off until 20th August when results come in.

[Littlepeahead]

My cat having 3 teeth out on Monday which cost me a fortune was my gripe on Monday. This morning as if to defiantly prove that fewer teeth isn't going to stop him being Top Cat of the neighbourhood he proudly brought me a huge mouse at 6am. I had to laugh at how pleased he was with himself. Even his brother looked impressed.

[NTECUK]

Other users who don't know the rules re solid white lines and slow moving vehicles.
See you later suckeres :)

[SIII]

According to bikesafe cops in Carlisle, you can pass a stationary vehicle over a solid white line, but if it is moving you cannot ! Even if it is slow moving ?


HIGHWAY CODE:
Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.


If the slow moving vehicle is a tractor/oversize load/etc - not road maintenance then ???
Orger's in Blue clarify ???

[7755matt]

I wouldn't have thought there was much on the roads these days that actually travels less than 10mph

[ophic]

If you make sure you approach well on the wrong side of the speed limit, there's no way you can tell if it's doing 10mph or stationary. So you can pass it with a clear conscience :smt043

[NTECUK]

OK. I'll make it crystal clear
Road sweeper lights a flashing.
It's unlikely to be going fast doing that job

[Red ones]

Probably marked as Highway Maintenance then...

[SIII]

Happy Days then ;-)

[pookie]

you learn something new every day.. I'll keep that in mind ! :)

[NTECUK]

I'd count the verge trimmers in the same league.
None are going much over a walking pace.

Cool car & nice smell :cool:

[Littlepeahead]

Spending the day running from one end of the ground to the other for a Hardys Wine media day, they are a big sponsor and I was knackered with a burning Achilles by the end of it. But as we finished they gave me a couple of bottles of their new premium range for the weekend and invited me to lunch at the Honorable Artillery Club on Monday for a wine tasting with the Hardy family.

I rang the boss and he said take the day out of the office and enjoy it. Result! :-)

Well done LPH!!
Sounds like a fantastic way to spend a Monday!

[Littlepeahead]

Could make Tuesday hard work as that's a night in the pub with the motorcycle maintenance class lot as it's the end of term, Wednesday is a jolly to the Oval with my Chief Info Officer and Thursday I'm working late before taking Friday off to watch Essex V Australia with a night out with the cricket press. Dammit I vowed I was going to slow it down a bit next week!

[Bluepete]

You're not garnering any sympathy here Miss!

Sounds like a just reward for a good job well done.

Hope you enjoy yourself.

Pete ;)

[Littlepeahead]

The irony is I'm just restarting on my migraine prevention programme so I won't be able to drink more than one glass of wine at any of these events. Oh well, it's still fun.

And the case of good stuff Hardys gave me last week is hidden under my desk. The day after the Ashes Test I'm going to invite my colleagues to come to the park after work for a fermented grape flavoured picnic. Nice things are better shared.

[BanannaMan]

Finally going home today after a nearly two week stay in the hospital. :cheers:
Still may be a while recovering after two heart attacks, blood clots in the lungs and colon, and having a good bit of the colon removed (all in the past 6 weeks) but feeling good considering.

Nows, just waiting to get back on the bike again. :riding:

[maviczap]

Great news Bill

[Ch00]

Hopefully Bill you will keep getting better :D

[Bluepete]

Well done Bill.

Maybe a bit more doing what the Dr. ordered!

Pete ;)

[littleoldman2]

Well done Bill nice to see you positive attitude,

[BanannaMan]

Thanks
I don't know how I've managed to live through all that but to be honest it's not been that bad,
Your entire ward is recovering from the same thing, so might as well make the best of it.
As long as you survive the operation..... ;)

A nurse told me, "I don't know if you're the cat with 9 lives, but you've just used a bunch of them up!" LOL

Glad to be home! Big smile!

[Geodude]

Glad your on the mend Bill :)

[Fruity-ya-ya]

That is something to smile about!
GWS Bill :)

[Littlepeahead]

Glad to hear you are on the mend Bill.

I didn't watch Kanye on Glastonbury last night because it was funnier to follow the whole thing on Twitter. People's comments were far more entertaining than the man himself. But the award for best performer should go to the BBC subtitles person who clearly had had enough!

Lionel is now rocking the crowd and everyone is loving it. I was boogie-ing around the kitchen while making a risotto - Kanye my man, watch and learn!

After 11 days straight its time to leave work and go and play motorbikes for the next 4 1/2 days. Where to go oh where to go?

[Bibio]

easy, tent sleeping bag and the lakes :-)

[littleoldman2]

You'll have spent hours and hours on Google maps:p. Lance we went to the lakes last Saturday it was full:(.

[Bluepete]

Yesterday, my kids asked if I'd get a paddling pool. I doubt they expected this!

[Red ones]

Not so much the hot sweaty commute in full bike gear causing me to smile, more the comparison with the Northern Line.

I'm not putting up with hundreds of people throwing their heads back and exhaling loudly on the tube, I'm opening the throttle!!!

[Littlepeahead]

I took the afternoon out of my office to head to The Oval. A meeting with the IT department, tour of the ground, now work is done it's time for a Surrey T20 with two really fun colleagues and it's beer o'clock!

Ours have been struggling in the heat today, at one point they tipped over the large water bowl and then just lay in the puddle on the patio :rolleyes:


Oh and this is my smile for the day

Our youngest in a short film that's just been released

[Littlepeahead]

I saw the lad in the lion outfit about half an hour later once he'd got out of the head and top. He looked like a man who'd tried to bake his own head.

[BanannaMan]

Got my staples removed today.
Still a bit more healing to do.

[maviczap]

Thats cool Bill,

[Geodude]

Nice one Bill :)

Brilliant short DD bet you're well chuffed :)

[maviczap]

First swim in the sea (with a wet suit on) with my mermaid daughter on her boogie board.

[dirtydog]

Nice one Bill :)

Brilliant short DD bet you're well chuffed :)

Yeah pleased with her and the short. Funnily enough she was at a casting this afternoon for a TV commercial

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Day off work to spend with the family in the sunshine :D

[Littlepeahead]

My smile today is making a random new friend. A couple of months ago I went to a photography exhibition private view as a +1 of my oldest friend. Afterwards I tweeted how much I'd enjoyed it - it was photos of New Order at a gallery in Camden. Beautiful black and white prints. It was a photographer whose work I've always liked, he's worked for NME and Q a lot.

The photographer thanked me. We got chatting. Turns out over the last 25 years we've worked with loads of the same people yet never met before. And he likes cricket. So I invited him to a match as my guest.

Tonight he took me to the National Theatre in return to see The Motherfu©<er With The Hat as he thought I'd enjoy it. I did, it was fab.

I love that just a chance invite from a really old mate has lead to me making this new friend.

[BanannaMan]

Just for the record neither I nor my hat have been to the National Theatre. ;)

[Bluepete]

Just for the record neither I nor my hat have been to the National Theatre. ;)

Badum-tish! He's here all week folks, try the veal.

Pete ;)

[Littlepeahead]

As you may have seen on photo a day, I hosted the Coldstream Guards at Lord's a few weeks ago, so as a thank you tonight I was invited to supper at St James's Palace.

It was black tie, and I was a guest of the Major who is guarding the Queen and two officers.

The butler brought me a very fine Moscow Mule on the roof terrace, when I got chilly the Major loaned me his dress cape. Dinner was served in a beautiful room in the Officers quarters with rather lovely wine and lots port, I don't drink much but I could have. I was given a history of the building and I held a cannon ball and a snuff box made from a cow's hoof from WWI and a diamond brooch owned by Queen Victoria as she looked down from a portrait of her as a beautiful young woman, a rarity as most show her in mourning. There were swords and bear skins.

Tomorrow the Queen will dine where I sat. I was the last person allowed to use 'her majesty's loo' before she does.
As Tuesday nights go, that was up there as one to remember. I always love showing people around at Lord's but when the return trip to their workplace is that special it's definitely a smile of the day!

[BanannaMan]

Wow impressive LPH!
This will be one of those moments you'll remember later in life with a big smile.




My smile of the day, went out for an hour ride (in the car) and visited an old friend, against Dr's orders.
Sometimes you just have to get out of the house!

[Littlepeahead]

I will indeed. Hearing Major Storm say that in 2005 they managed to find a big TV and a satellite link from somewhere to watch the Ashes also made me smile, as they were in a tent in one of the most dangerous parts of Iraq.

[Geodude]

So cool lph :)

[NTECUK]

Transport strike looks like alot of commuters taken the day off.
So less traffic!

[carelesschucca]

I've suddenly become old. My bike insurance is now through SAGA!

[NTECUK]

Saga were blinking expensive when I got a quote.

[Kenzie]

Off to Flying Legends at Duxford tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing the BF109G flying. Hope the weather holds though as it is supposed to rain.

[dirtydog]

Pre ordered a DVD today

The first film Libby was in, only a very small part though

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Swimming in the sea this evening. Really refreshing if a little cold to start, but great fun.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Yesterday I took youngest to cross country training with his horse, they jumped bigger and better than ever before, I have never seen him so happy before, he hugged his horse then he hugged his trainer which must have been quite smelly and damp for her as both horse and rider were really sweaty.

[Sir Trev]

Washing the bike. Doesn't sound like much of a smile but it's the first time in at least six months and I cannot help but wonder how long I've been riding around with a missing fairing bolt and a nearly missing number plate screw (the latter was just about to fall off).

[pookie]

Introducing the clan to Star wars machete order with popcorn.. its been a while but that was good.. :)

[Littlepeahead]

Having a migraine today.

Yes that sounds weird. But I knew I'd get one some time this week and tomorrow is the start of my busiest week this year, in fact my busiest week for the next 4 years so having it come on last night and lay me low today when I could take it easy was actually a blessing and it was reasonably bearable this month.

Hopefully I can now get through the Test match with the only headache being those pesky Aussies.

:D

[Bluepete]

Life.

It's good.

Enjoy it every day.
