On the back of Glasto coverage, hearing a live audience singing along with a song I love always gives me goosepimples, really hard to describe the sensation but I absolutely love it. Being there is obviously even better.

hearing a song you hadnt heard in ages thats great.

Oh I love that feeling. Particularly as I tend to wear a song out once I like it by just repeating it over and over. Finding one I'd forgotten about is ace

indeed

the song that triggered my post was Andreas Johnson- glorious

just reminds me of sky sundays at 4pm usually with three points. think it may have been the theme around the treble year

Had to go off work sick due to a cough and chest infection that I've had for weeks and I just cannot get rid of (which isn't good abviously) but the sun is shining at last so I can at least sit in the garden and relax.

The acknowledgement/thanks you get when you stop at a zebra crossing and let people cross. Always a fan.

When crossing I like to give a casual little half wave of thanks to the driver, like a journeyman golfer accepting some mild applause.

Love that feeling when I'm off for a week or two in the sun, especially as I'm in Manchester with its constant rain.

Off sick right now, so I've logged on remotely, straight to Out of Office without giving outlook a chance to even downlaod my new emails, set it and logged off again.

My boyfriend being hands down the most amazing person I've ever known. The nutter's currently 3100m up Mont Blanc and setting off for the summit at midnight, after a failed attempt on a different route and one of the lads in his team having a bout of altitude sickness. Not sure how I pulled this one off.

My Dad.

Few years ago in was in a pretty bad place due to his (now ex) wife, so bad I had to have him sectioned for his own good. He's turned himself around since. Whats made me happy this week is, at 68, he had a hip replaced on Wednesday night (op started at 7:30 pm) he was up and about walking yesterday and he's going home today.

I love my garden.

Been looking after it, doing bits and bobs since we moved in three months ago and I'm really chuffed with it. Sometimes just sit out and relax. Lovely place to be.

Getting home from work and going for a walk with the wife and kids. Great to watch the boys running and playing.

All three, are bang on. Wolf Alice will be in the top ten list come the end of the year.

Big stupid dog head, hanging out of a window with its tongue flapping in the breeze and eyes full of wonder, love it.

Reminds me if the old joke related by Rodney Marsh. His team had a new manager and before a match he told one of the players he'd be pulling him off at half-time, to which he replied "Thanks. Under the last manager we just got a cup of tea"

Buying some raffle tickets whilst pissed up on Friday night at the pub, only to get a text this morning saying I've won a TV.

No idea what type yet, didn't even realise that was the main prize (my mate bought the tickets first and I sort of just did the same with some change I had). May be posting in the other thread if it turns out to be their old one
