Little things in life that make you smile

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

An old story now. Reminded me on a Q.I repeat.
Koko was a gorilla who died aged 46 in June of this year.
She had been 'taught' a kind of sign language by a trainer.
During her life she had been very fond of cats & ended up having a kitten, as a pet.
Once, when Koko had ripped a steel sink off a wall, she was 'asked' what had happened.
She pointed at the kitten & 'signed', 'The cat did it'.
I love that story.

Some of the comments from the BBC site after Wales got beaten by Albania last night ...

(1) Sooo embarrassing! And against one of the worst teams in the world! How did Albania only get one goal??

(2) It’s not that embarrassing, Albania can only beat what’s in front of them

(3) A small and impoverished nation who speak a language that is too difficult for most to understand and that few could place on a map, beaten by Albania.

(4) I’m surprised Giggs actually bothered to turn up for the game, he certainly wouldn’t have when he was a player.

The ever fragrant Mrs Monkeybubbles works for this very nice multi millionaire feller, and we're house sitting for a couple of days in his minimalist Grand Designs-esque glass and polished concrete megalith with beautiful views over the South Downs. Best free holiday ever.

It's really echoey though, all hard surfaces. Mrs MB was working in the garden, so I rolled over in bed this morning and let one rip, it sounded like a cannon going off as it reverberated around the house. Then another, and then a long low pitched bubbly stutterer.

Then I clapped. Sounded great. I shouted and clapped. I started singing, don't know why but I went with The Sweet, "Little Willy Willy won't...fark orrf!". Bit louder "fark off!". "FARK OFF!". "FARK OFF!".

How was I to know that the cleaner had let herself in?

Fair enough, stuff like 2FA and SSO is annoying to implement smoothly.
