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.

Back on the bike today, after sitting in the car in traffic yesterday. I could not be more lucky to be able to commute by bike or on foot if I want, with great facilities at the office for storing my bike & work clothes, clean towels, hot showers, and even a room to air my stinking cycle clothes.

Should be mandatory for all new work places to provide facilities of that type, IMO.

Several people sat near me are now mumbling it at their desks. It's moving round the office like a virus.

In a similar vein, a work mate came down from Leeds this week and I asked him which hotel he was staying at. He said, “the Ibis”. I asked which one as London is a bit bigger than Leeds and there is more than one Ibis. He looked a bit shocked but looked at the booking form, screwed his eyes up, furrowed his brow and tried to say something but his mouth couldn’t shape the words. Someone else grabbed the sheet from his hand, looked at it and burst out laughing and then said, “You couldn’t pronounce Shoreditch!”

Often I have walked in to the office, and the first thing out of my mouth is that tune, and for the rest of the day, I catch people humming it, and laugh at them, and get met with 'Just f*** off will you' :D

Being contacted by a colleague called Sukhdeep to see if I can have a word with his associate, Arshdeep.

I deserve an award for keeping a straight face during that call.
