Little things in life that make you smile

Larkhill is one of my sites , so was fortunate enough a couple of years ago to watch a demo with full on Apache air support coming in too with all guns blazing , made the hair on the back of my neck stand up

Was dialed into a call earlier with about 30 people in locations all over US & EMEA. Some guy in the call became aware that there was a "Brit" on the line, and then launched into a bizarre tirade about how funny it is that "you guys call cigarettes fags, right! fags!!! hahahaha" <adopts Dick Van Dyke-quality accent> "Blimey, guv'nor, can I get (sic) a fag?" before bursting into laughter and repeating "fag!" several times. Like every other person on the call, I said nothing - I'm used to dealing with American cretins, and the smart thing to do is ignore them.

Anyway, order was eventually restored, nobody else made any reference to his hilarious joke, or the fact that he mentioned it, although I wouldn't be surprised to discover he'll get some sort of disciplinary, because the call was being recorded. But once the call was over, my boss rang me direct, to apologise for the guy's "misguided attempts at humour". I assured him I wasn't remotely bothered and to consider the matter closed, at which point he said "okay cool, I'll suggest to Les he keeps his jokes to himself next time".

You read that right - someone called Les thinks the word "fag" is funny.

Don't know why this has made me smile, but it has. Just gone into my e-mails to discover one e-mail in junk; it's from West ham United!

Cooler/cold nights, always sleep with the window open, even when it's -5, so had a p about 4am this morning, got back to into bed and the room was freezing, but allowed me to fully wrap the duvet around me, was a lovely feeling.

Missus got the hump as I pulled some of the duvet off her, but I was all good.

All-time NBA great, and all-round awesome bloke, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's monthly columns in the Guardian. He's a wonderful writer, up there with Mike Atherton as my favourite players-turned-writer. But the best thing about his is that the comments section, without fail, features people quoting his marvellous rant in Airplane! when accused by the kid of "not really trying".

I’ve gone naked. Yamaha mt09. pick it up mid afternoon- currently at little burns birthday bowling with 12 x 8 year olds.
I’m going to need a burn in the countryside after this. I’m sure the noise here is louder than the new bike

Hopkins' request for an appeal was heard today, and dismissed.
Not quite half a mil, but she now owes Monroe the original £24,000 plus £107,000 in costs.
Just to follow up, this from Jack Monroe on Twitter today:
I can confirm today that following that landmark libel case, Katie Hopkins has entered into an IVA to avoid bankruptcy. I knew for a while but could not say anything for legal reasons. The arbitrary defender of free speech didn't want anyone to know, ironically...
...I have been paid in full, but many of her creditors, including my lawyer, will not be paid what they are owed. For the want of an apology, a house, a job, a column, a radio show, and now financial solvency, were lost. It's all very sad, actually.

The triple makes a nice noise- and putting it in ‘a’ mode makes it a bit lively. Suspension is a little soft,but what I need for the pot hole filled roads around here. And it’s nicer to ride than my lambretta- never thought I’d say that!

We should start a Kumb MC the snug chapter

I live in a downstairs flat and share a garden with my upstairs neighbours. They constantly leave the gate open even though they know we have a toddler and a dog.

Twice in the last 24 hours I've taken a spider out of the bath, put it down next to their door and it's crawled underneath and into their flat.
