Small pleasures?

[G Richards]

A little Woodford Reserve right now, while watching a bit of the history channel before bed.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Just bought a bookcase from a charity shop, not sure if it'll fit but if not it's a bit of money to charity.

 

Celebrated with a sausage sandwich - pulled pork sausage in a white bloomer.

 

Life's alright.

The Scotch egg pastie...

 

 

See that doesn't do it for me at all because I'm not a huge fan of pastry; I don't dislike it but greasy pasty pastry is just superfluous there.  If I was thinking about having a scotch egg but didn't think it would be quite filling enough I'd rather just have another scotch egg.  Or maybe a small melton mowbray pork pie with a bit of piccalilli.

Just had an extra hour in bed, the Missus has went to work and I have the house to myself

 

Two rounds of toast, a cup of tea and a copy of Private Eye - life gets no better

Mark your little pleasures revolve largely around getting everyone to fuck off, I've observed, fair play.

Pretty much

My little pleasure today is listening to John Secada , just another day and sinking Brazilian coffee.

Another of my life's small pleasures is slowly introducing everyone to your actual music taste which you've embarrassingly hid for your early years, I said to my mate the other day whilst we spend years blasting Tupac outaide thw college in your van I'd have been just as happy with erasure.

Fantastic.

Again, probably showing my ignorance again here but aren't Mac's way more expensive than other PC's with the same spec's? Is it a case of paying more for the name than anything else?

 

I remember when i got my M8 last year and it was £25 a month cheaper than the iPhone 6. This is for a top end Android phone (at the time). Nearly double the price a month (and an upfront fee) for what, exactly? For something that just works? The M8 was the easiest phone i've ever had to set up.

 

Macs are more expensive, no doubt.  And usually, they're quite a way off the bleeding edge of technology.  And any 'cachet' associated with owning Apple has long gone.  So people can no longer be accused of following the herd or buying into a lifestyle.  I've got a fairly up to date Android phone too, with better technical specs than my old iPhone 5S.  I much prefer the iPhone though. It's simpler and easier to maintain and use.  It does everything I need it to.  

 

Same with the computers.  Years ago, I used to build my own, and look down my nose at people who went to PC World and bought a technically inferior piece of shit.  Then, I got a life and realised that the computer was a tool to facilitate more interesting things, not an end in itself.  So I went and got something that did not need constant tinkering, but just worked.  And the Mac UI is still miles better than any Windows interface from a functional perspective.  The fact that it looks nicer too is an added bonus.

They do look boss, i agree. I think i just baulk over the OTT price. Plus, deep down, i always wanted to avoid Apple products out of a pointless act of stubbornness, until i bought an iPod touch about 4 years ago. I like the iPod, i admit, but it's become superfluous now i've got a 64gb memory card in my M8 with Poweramp making the same music sound ten times better.

I like my iMac but I hated an iPhone i had to have for work and my iPod touch is good but the quality of the music is laughably poor.

A bit meh overall. 

[ZonkoVille77]

I got a lie on today without the usual fucking noise and am permitted one tomorrow too. Might celebrate by blowing my nose in the sheets *wink wink*

[ZonkoVille77]

Leaving the volume on 9 when the missus leaves the room. Even numbers by hoop.

At a spa day paid for by Simon.

Was in tears reading that on Twitter yesterday. Tears of incredulous laughter. 

[JagSquared]

I'm not on Twitter but in tempted to sign up just to follow him. I actually miss his threads, it was just the volume in one go.
