Watching a man get hit by a bus, who then gets up and goes straight into the pub.

He should do the lottery this week.

That bus is already out of control before it hits him.

Lunatic bus drivers

Honestly I'm convinced half of them think they're zipping around in a Micra rather than what's basically a house on wheels

Went to the park with my friend in Zagreb.  She climbed a cherry tree and stripped as many branches she could reach.  Then we lay in a hammock for about three hours eating cherries as she drew in my doodle pad (no that's not a euphemism!).  All the while her dog raced around going mental at the crows.

Best cherries I ever tasted.  Arguably the best three hours of my entire life.

seeing a post from Red Beret how happy he has been

Ice cold can of Coke

The more it burns the better it is...

When the DBA takes the development system down during the day, only for an hour, while he upgrades the operating system (fuck knows why this was allowed) and two hours later its still down so no work getting done but getting paid for it

We get it, you enjoy pussy 

They both look tiny, how old are they?

[SlowRap]

Remembering that you put some beers in the fridge the previous night that will be perfectly chilled when you get home.

Forgetting that you've done it and then opening the fridge couple of days later and seeing them there perfect temp.

Visiting my mum's and coming home with freshly picked raspberries, just dug new potatoes and outdoor grown rhubarb 😊

He's 25 mate. It's weird.

These gems..me and my mate have had a right chuckle this lunchtime

People could be smart as fuck but when they go on holiday they always seem to lose a few brain cells.

I made (then deleted) a post in the "annoy you" thread a couple weeks ago regarding an open position at a company I was well qualified for that would be a game changer in my life that disappeared off the site. I was so frustrated, working two jobs to not even make ends meet, and this rare opportunity was gone.

I found out a week later It was gone because they already had enough applicants. After two interviews, a background check, and waiting on pins in needles, I learned today I start there in two weeks!

Bit more than a small thing, that, congratulations...

True! I'm still in disbelief, I can't describe the emotions I'm going through in words right now, but they're all good. Thank you AFC

Seeing people happy.

I was cycling by Nebo in North Wales, by Snowdon yesterday and saw this flying pretty low....300 foot up, I'd guess.

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Well thanks for that. Im off for an angry wank. Jealous? Too damn right.

[dave 5516]

I thought about you at the time, C.

There were also two fighters much higher up in the air, they looked like they were playing tick.

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Fucking rub it in why dont you.

[dave 5516]

Fucking rub it in why dont you.

I told you about the two Hercules I saw over the Moors by Haworth a few back, didn't I? That was awesome, really low as I stood at the road side watching the two of them...huge planes so low.

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Mutter , grumble piss off. F35 fighters are coming to Marham so ill have some porn...

[RJ320]

Going to a parts shop for a clutch kit and getting quoted £100. Then going to another parts shop specialising in clutches who did it for £35. Asked the guy why such a big price difference and he said "they would probably have got it off us." Feels like I've beaten the system.

[rob1966]

Looked out the window yesterday and saw a Huey flying past - love those. Went on Amazon and found a 1:24 scale Revell kit, so ordered it. Haven't built a helicopter kit for years.

We had artificial grass laid in spring. Had to go to the shed this morning, walked across is barefoot and it was warm - that made me smile.

My Uncle was based at Valley (worked on the radar) and got taken out in a Hawk to recce the low flying route before the trainers and fast jets did their morning runs.

I got taken into the control tower while an airshow was on and got to listen to the pilots chatting the ATC. 

My eldest son was 3 when he got to sit in the pilots seat of a Lynx, when the Dad of one of my nephews mates (very high up in the Navy) borrowed one and turned up at a passing out parade at Welbeck in it.

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Mods , can we slap him...

Found this tree in a woods next to Lymm Dam this morning, I love seeing things like this.

[Sir Harvest Fields]

Not flown in a helicopter yet, wife bought me an experience voucher for my 50th, so going to use that for a flight. Think its a Jet Ranger they use.

Found this tree in a woods next to Lymm Dam this morning, I love seeing things like this.

I love seeing things like that too. Takes me back to a time when I was a teen getting absolutely baked and taking in lovingly carved and painted stuff in woodlands, Led Zep in my ears and just feeling a sort of deep dreamy magical connection to the nature peculiar to these isles, like it was Middle Earth. I still feel that fantasy in my heart, just not as keenly as I did back then.

When you're in a place like that, with the light of the morning/dusk all around you, there's defo a spiritual connection of some sort felt, even if it's just an illusion within your consciousness created by the power of culture and wishful thinking. The vibes of other nature-seeking humans who've spent time and worked on that, and left it there to let you experience something of who they are/were.

Nice, love the Mosquito.

Last 1/24th scale I had was a Spitfire when I was a kid, last kit I made was a 1/72 Spitfire a could of years back. Really looking forward to building this one.
