Things that cheer you up

Seeing a car drive by with a dog with its head out the window will always cheer me up..

On my way to school when I was a kid there was always a dog sitting in the upstairs window of one of the houses, looking at the cars. If they ever weren't there, there would a breath patch where they had been. When I visit my parents these days and drive past that house, I always smile, even though the dog and breath patch are sadly no longer with us.

I mean it's lovely that someone bought it for him as a surprise gift, and his reaction is nice too watch but not sure why people act like it's a recognition of talent..? I'm pretty sure anyone in the union is eligible to buy one. 

Sorry to be a downer as the video is really quite sweet, it's the comments that I don't really get.

I got the bus to Fareham last week and as it sat at the lights this beauty was staring at me, just sat watching the world go by.

I hope they had a great day.

My dog likes to keep a close eye on the A4. 

I’m not a massive pet person to be brutally honest, but there’s no denying that it’s a great feeling when you get back from somewhere on a tough day and they’re so pleased to see you. I’ll go and put the bins out, walk back in and the dog acts like I’ve been gone two weeks

Instead of going on holiday in July I've spent the money on a fancy new keyboard with 1,000 preloaded voices and excellent recording capabilities. I'm going to spend that week huddled up like a goblin in my living room pretending I'm Brian Eno.

This thing is brilliant. I'm spending my Saturday night writing happy hardcore tracks in my boxers.

With the reboot about to launch, the original run of King of The Hill has finally been added to Disney+. I’ve had it on a hard drive for donkey’s years, but this makes me so dam happy I tell ya what

Weirdly one of those things I've only seen random episodes of, so I'll definitely be losing myself in that soon. Thanks!

No worries. Don’t hold out hope for catching up ahead of the reboot though. That starts on August 4th, so starting from scratch you’d need to watch 11 episodes a day until then.

It’s mad that it’s taken them this long to put it on there. They’ve had the streaming rights for years after Channel 4 let it go over here

That sweet, sweet NIL! Took MONTHS of emailing back and forth to get this bastard sorted out. Feels good.

Unauthorised collectors? What's the story here?

[deathrey]

My dad has typical old school immigrant mentality and very rarely gets nice things for himself - in fact he actively believes that if he gets things he's dreamed of having it will have a negative effect on his life because he will no longer have goals to reach (I know, its stupid).

He has always been an avid snooker and pool fan and his whole life has wanted a proper pool table, not one from Argos but a proper made to measure one. So finally, at the ripe old age of 69 he decided that seen as his kids have all moved out and he has an empty garage, it was time to treat himself and he has bought himself a beautiful pool table. Today he has been teaching my 68 year old mum, who has never played a sport in her life, how to play pool so the two of them can play together. My sister sent me a photo of my mum playing and it made my day ?

That has really made me smile, that has! Lovely story.

That is really sweet. Just pure, unadulterated joy.

My cousin's bought their dad a proper pool table a few years ago. The story about the collection is a fun one. They had to collect it from a gentleman down south. Removing it from the guys house turned into a mini house renovation. Door frames were removed to liberate the Pool table. A task that my DIY mad uncle revelled in. It now resides in his purpose built man cave at the end of the back garden.

I just met an apprentice for work who said "has anyone told you you look like Mike Myers? Specifically in Austin Powers?" ???

Absolutely buckled me.
