Trivial things that please you beyond all expectations

We received a letter from Yorkshire water yesterday addressed to the occupiers of our house. It stated as you are a priority user, the current hosepipe ban does not apply to yourselves.
Which is nice and I wasn’t aware either of us is priority user( I’m sure we are not) but it will come in handy if any of the neighbours grass me up for using the hose to clean my bike.

I consider that I pay more than enough in Water Rates, and they can shove their ‘hosepipe ban’ where the sun doesn’t shine.

That sort of attitude totally ignores the people who will suffer most if the water levels run out




SOMEBODY needs to think of the poor unfortunate shareholders!!!

It is claimed by a cycling friend of mine, who is a former copper, that there has never been a prosecution for using a hosepipe whilst under a ban.

The funniest thing at work is going into the loos, which triggers the lights to switch on automatically; and then i notice someone else is already in there.

I had to wipe my arse in the pitch dark at Basildon station when the PIR timed out.

The evening air suddenly going from cloying and humid to pleasant and cool.

I found an ugly 1970's saddle that I had forgotten about. Not only does it look just right on my retro Raleigh but it's also quite comfortable.

I wish I had my old 1970' saddle back
it was leather and just the one that came on my Peugeot bike

but it was always "me shaped"

then some k******d nicked it out of the back of my garage one day in the 1990s

wish I knew the make and model
