I heard their chairman interviewed on the radio a few months back. Top bloke who absolutely loves his club. Fully committed to supporting his team; for many years (may even have stretched to decades) was ever present home and away. Comparing him to the destructive, lying, ever-absent toe rag who's got us by the balls really makes me want to weep.
Fixing the dishwasher. We're having an extension later in the year and renewing the kitchen. Didn't really want to splash out on a new one but couldn't face 6 months of washing up.
Turned out to just be an airlock in the outlet pipe.

Went to get a pair of socks and the drawer was overflowing with a mess of unpaired socks. As I had five minutes, I decided to pair them up. The pleasing thing was that at the end of this, there were no rogue odd socks left over. I can't remember that ever happening before!

At Brands Hatch for a classic race meet and having the 2 seater Spitfire come over (with some lucky bugger having a passenger ride) and doing a few acrobatics
Got myself a 1500 Jigsaw Puzzle which was a Antique Map of the World back in December.
Have kept starting it / throwing the pieces back into the box constantly for the last six months yet after a week of sticking with it, finally completed it today!!

Not much of an antique map if it was a map of the world in December.

You should have bought one of those leather, full puzzle size folders, when you stop, you simply close the folder and the bits stay in place, when you open it next time you just carry on where you left off

I've thought about it but have got myself a giant cork board to work on it over the months as was a lot cheaper...
Frustration with the puzzle saw me stop and start other easier Jigsaws hence why I had to keep starting over
Have started to research my family tree and its amazing the information you can find out...
On one branch I've managed to go back as far as 1799 to find a family Member who briefly went out to Australia - One legend I have been told that I'll be looking into is that I'm a descendant of the Cullinan Family (that part is 100% true) with one of my ancestors having found the Cullinan Diamond, the second largest stone in the world and part of the Crown Jewels

Seeing guide dogs in action. Incredible animals. Always puts a smile on my face
Agreed... My parents used to train Guide Dog puppies when I was small - Amazes me that people can train them to do all these things and then give the dog up whilst it still is a puppy
Spending the day in London, you can forget what a great city it is sometimes. Daughters away with FIL, so we came up earlier, saw the matinee of Dreamgirls (which was fantastic) am now having a few beers in Covent Garden. Have a table booked at a Thai restaurant later.
We always have dress-down Friday here at work... Because its Bradley Lowery's funeral, everyone has been encouraged to wear a Football shirt into work today and thus donate £1 to his foundation.
Wearing my Charlton shirt with proud amongst the Arsenal | Liverpool | Man Utd ones etc.
We might have fucked up owners but am proud to show that I support a proper Football club rather than a big club just because!!

Best examples are things like kids' playgrounds being vandalised or scout huts burning down. Marvellous!
