    I got this a lot in Boston a few weeks ago, they stop you quite a bit there to compliment you. Feckin great so it is. I was in Macy's and a woman went (in really sing songy American accent) "oh my god you are soooo beautiful, look at youuuu, and I love your coat and your scarf and your hair and everythiiing, wow". I was mortified but also delira with meself :o


    I love it! God the yanks are great.
    Imagine if someone came up to you in Arnotts and told you your coat and your scarf and your hair was gorgeous and you were just an absolute ride altogether, you'd think they were either unhinged or on drugs

    Being at just the right spot at the crowded bus stop to get on first/one of the first. There's a knack to it! :p

    You wouldn't be far wrong!

    I'd say to someone about their coat or something but not like "Ohmigod just look at you!" :pac:

    We should be more like that!

    The smell of fresh paint in YOUR house, especially when someone else has done the painting.

    A productive evening of blogging. Feeling very good about myself!

    But if a male yank offered you the same compliments, would you feel he was a shaper or a "Mitchell"? ;)

    Finding great bargains on booze. I was looking for bargains on champagne and another Boards user sent me a link to a site, turns out I can get a litre of Gordon's gin for 14 euro too. Yey, it's the little things in life:D

    A colleague of mine is leaving his job and moving to Hong Kong. He mentioned that he had a gift of a bottle of whiskey from some friends, but didn't drink whiskey so I could have it. He knew nothing about whiskey and couldn't remember the name, so it was a nice surprise to find a bottle of 12 year old Glenlivet waiting outside my office door for me.

    getting anything for free

    the in laws cancel their visit

    finding a fiver in your pocket

    when the people with big trollies let you go ahead to buy your bog roll

    when he's supposed to cook but he rings to ask 'chipper?'

    going to bed at 10pm and waking at 11pm thinking its time for work

    suggesting something fun knowing everyone else is tired to make yourself look interesting

    when the fridge looks full

    when you pull a sicky

    cock

    Crisps. Haven't had any crisps booze or junk food for 6 weeks and I'm going to make a piggy pig of myself over Easter:)

    When someone else makes/buys me a cup of coffee without asking and just puts it in front of me (instantly moves them to the top of my favourite people list, my heart is easily bought :P ).

    That feeling when you get a cold drink when you're really thirsty and you can feel it going down your throat.

    Hearing someone with a foreign accent using Dublin slang perfectly :D

    Not knowing the word for something in a foreign language, "inventing" a word, and finding out your wild guess was right.

    Listening to a new album for the first time and instantly falling in love with it.

    Getting a book I like.

    Watching a good movie for the first time.

    Music.

    Animals.

    Finding a really old coin.

    Ritter Sport bars with hazlenuts.

    Bubbles.

    Showering.

    A nice cup of tea in a pretty cup.
