Minor things that make you happy

[Bedfordblue]

Absolutely shameless flex post here, after 4 years of study while working full time i have completed my environmental sciences degree with the open uni, a very decent grade and some opportunities opened and I want strangers on the Internet to know how proud I'm feeling.

UTFT

Congrats really

…..I put a washing line pole up in the ground at the back of the garden. Mrs Eggs jus put a full load of washing out and it hasn’t toppled over (yet).

I wonder if this could be the first entry on the same day in the ‘minor thing that makes you happy’ and ‘minor thing that makes you fume’ threads

A LIDL opened up near to me, never been to one before so thought id check it out on way back from work and see if it's as crap as i imagine it to be. So i went in, had a look around, it did indeed suck so i decided to leave only to find out you cant get out of the shop without a receipt as there is a barricade in place that requires you to scan the receipt in order to get out ? WTF ! When did this become a thing ?

Having bought nothing and there being no one around to help i jumped it, only to then have two security guards magically appear from nowhere and pull me over and start asking me to empty my pockets.

An absolute scab shop that treats its customers like thieves. This is richmond upon thames as well, proper middle-class suburbia and yet they putting barriers on the exits. Mad.

Had a look through varying thread titles to find a thread that this post would sort of fit, this was the first one that worked.

Has anyone watched today’s Stick to Football featuring Paul Scholes? As odd as it sounds he was my favourite none Everton player of the premier league era, but to hear him talk about his son on that episode today was sad, but also wonderful to see what a good human being he is and how down to earth he is.

I did some support work when I was at uni, when you how occupied parents of autistic children are its incredible, it really is all encompassing.

To hear him talk about taking him to Tesco on a Thursday and hear the hateful posts he received about his sons weight and to hear him say “he’s gonna eat what the F*** he wants” it showed 2 things, 1 how much of a normal down to earth guy he is but also how the world is full of hate and bully’s.

He’s overcome that, he’s just being him and whilst I’m being nice, he’s one of the greatest opposition players I’ve seen.

Do you know, i didn't really fully appreciate him until he dropped deep and started dictating tempo. Complete ignorance on my part as he was always class
