Name banal things you do that give you great pleasure

Pj!

Turning my pillow around to get the cold side.
Cleaning my nails.
When in socks, getting a good 'slide' on our tiled hall when moving from room to room.
Sitting in a car when its absolutely pissing down with rain.

Lying on my tummy on the top of Blackrock Tower in Salthill, Galway, at dusk, looking west.

Daydreaming about a golden future.... clean sheets, sucessful casseroles, roaring fires on a cold day, really good coffee, walks on the beach just as the sun rises, unexpected kindnesses from strangers.

The freshness on face after shaving ,fresh clean clothes after showering ,the feeling you get when that hangover is finally gone ,first cup of tea in the morning ,watching a good movie /documentry .

Shaving.

I'm fussy about how I shave none of that gillette poo. Exfoliate, hot towel, prep, cream then shave.

showing unsuspecting wimmens "2 girls one cup" and watching them gag..

Painting, cleaning or filing my nails. I work as a chef on a deli so my nails are always in bits from the heat so it's nice to make them pretty again.

Walking on Tramore when it's cold/dark

Licking the lid off the yoghurt pot

Waking up too early and realising

Smegball

Taking a piss after waiting for ages, such relief:)

Tzetze

Counting stairs.
Tapping out trios and counting in threes to three hundred simultaneously.

Feet tapping |L - R| |R - L| |R - L| |L - R|
Sometimes that's enough for pleasure, but more often I'll have to do the symmetrical opposite twice and then finish with a repeat of the first.

Again, sometimes that's enough, but sometimes I'll let the above be 'block 1', then do the symmetrical opposite twice 'blocks 2 & 3', then a repeat of the first 'block 4'.

Then all of the above can become 'block 1'... etc. etc.

Can anyone recommend a good shrink?

+ 1 to both of these. Went camping 2 weekends ago and forgot how cool fire is. Just sitting around it, staring into the embers, cooking food over it, getting wood, the cracking and popping sounds of the wood, the smell of the smoke......it's therapeutic or something.

AckwelFoley

scratching my neither.

Duggy747

Making love to Angelna Jolie, it's over-rated. To much cleveland-steamers for my liking.

Taking a sip of something ice cold first thing in the morning when you wake up with a monstrous hangover.

The way your balls feel after having a shower with Original Source Minty Shower gel.

Walking on sand... barefoot. Walking on grass in the winter thats all frosted over, making a crunchy noise CRUNCH.

I lived in a house with no heating for about two months, it accentuated the sensation to the point where is was actually annoying.

(Can foresee a rush on that shower gel in boots now)

They are a decent lighter alright. Maybe it's just me, but I always thought they were kind of like the Skoda of the lighter world back in the day. Skoda was a good car, but cheap as chips. Similar to the homestead lighter. Still have one, and still going like a trooper. Can you still buy them?

Filling in numbers on Excel spreadsheets so that sums are automatically calculated in adjacent cells.

I like numbers.

Oh I love doing that!
When I need an alarm I use my phone, but sometimes when I've turned it off I forget to disable it so it goes off again the next morning at the same time.
When that happens, I love rolling over, half asleep, turnng it off and then just going back to sleep.
Switching off an alarm and going back to sleep is an amazing feeling! :)Unfortunately, I also often do it when I actually need the alarm and need to get up.

The thunderous sound of a car wash as the washer yokes pass by your window

Also I like wrapping the bus tickets around my finger as tight as I can then bending my finger so that the ticket splits open

That is so true - that stuff is magic.

Twin engined planes like flying overhead. It'd be a newer version of this, but for carrying passengers, I think. Flies over Leixlip quite a bit, so probably stationed out in Weston Airport.

Also like the roar of a 2L unmodified sports car, and the noise of a Harley going by, on a quite peaceful day, where you can hear their approach 2 minutes before you see them.
