Drinking the last of the milk from my cereal straight from the bowl. Drives the missus nuts!

The smell of bacon in the pan, and knowing its going on some fresh uncut bread or a crusty roll liberally spread with anchor butter.
Managing to slice roast beef properly with and old fashioned carving knife.
Ohhhhh yes!Quote:

One of summer's most orgasmic food experiences IMO :greengrin

I went into the bookies last night to put a scorecast on the Hibs game. The lady behind the counter asked if she could see some ID. I'm 33.
As ridiculous as it was, I'll take the compliment.
Hearts getting beat is always a wee thing that makes me happy.
Being up really early and watching the world come too, similar to PB and his mountain climbing. Being up sharp for tractor work and the roads being absolutely dead then seeing the traffic get busier and busier is oddly satisfying. Having a break at 10am knowing you’ve already been at the graft for 5 hours. Its weird but satisfying.
A really good pint of Guinness. You rarely get one this side of the Irish Channel.
Biddy Mulligans in the Grassmarket and The Abbotsford in Rose St are top quality. Not cheap at £4.70 but I'd rather pay that than a pound less for sour or tasteless stuff.
The research continues......
Boiling an egg to perfection, being soft and runny so it spreads nicely onto my toast soldiers.
Talking of the Abbotsford I'll add another:Quote:

My wife of 40 years 😁
Being diabetic and sorely missing the ‘sweeter things’ in life, I can’t describe the pleasure of a portion of 85% dark chocolate with a cup of really strong, good quality coffee before going to bed............. and no, doesn’t keep me awake all night. :yum yum::coffee:
When one of my favourite films is on TV, even though I have the DVD.
Discovering during first wipe that this particular sh**e doesn't require ANY wiping.
That smell of Easter Road when I haven't been at a game in a while. The smell itself isn't very nice... but I always recognise it.
The simplicity of kids/babies. Collected my daughter from nursery earlier and on the walk home she found her tongue. We were sticking our tongues out at each other and she thought it was the funniest thing ever 😀
Wife and I driving past Tynecastle on the Western approach road when my Daughters were toddlers, oldest piped up “ooh whats that horrible smell” its Tynecastle I said, then we sung Tynecastles a piggery, for many years after we done the same.
Daughters now 28 and 26, last week same journey, same song, it never ages, sat with a grin, thats ma bairns 😆
I got on the Eurostar train going to Paris last week and my seat was changed to Coach 18 Seat 75. Gave me a wee smile and it was a great seat as well...
Similar to that, my old phone number at work ended in 6270.Quote:

They are now absolutely her favourite thing. I've taught her their names, and I get a wee shiver of delight even just thinking about her wee voice saying the names "Gaz, Deek, Zibi, Boozy, and Ivan" when I ask her who they are.
Brilliant 👍Quote:
