Cold and foggy first thing, then from about 11.00 am to 4.00 pm it was gloriously sunny and warm. It's raining again now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wore shorts to work on Monday , granted my postman was wearing his back in Jan , but the sun was out and it seemed appropriate , got to work and the women downstairs in accounts were in jumpers and coats like we worked in Siberia wouldn't mind but I haven't switched the heating off in the office or anything so it's not like the building is cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 10, 2018 Moderator Share Posted April 10, 2018 In an evil sub-genre I've just thought of, I'd like to submit an entry for "Things That Cheer You Up That Shouldn't". Kids bawling in the stands on the final day of the season as their team just got relegated 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it doesn't cheer me up..... but what does is adults crying in the stands (for the same reason ). That really is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted April 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 10, 2018 Just got an unexpected promotion No application, no interview, my boss just asked me to pop in to his office. "<current team lead> is moving in to job x, we think you'd be a good replacement, do you want to do it?". I start next month, bloody good pay jump too. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post il_serpente Posted April 11, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2018 Vacation. Or as most of you would say, holiday. Just went scuba diving for the first time in my life. A sea turtle swam up right next to me, seeming like he was begging for me to reach out and touch him. Turned his head to look at me as he swam by and I could swear he smiled at me. My wife saw an octopus. Awesome! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's nothing for a lot of people, but it was the first time I'd ever done it and I was amazed at how much you could see, how clear everything was and how close you could get to creatures. It was brilliant. Scuba Diving must be a whole other level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I love diving. I've done it a few times. It's always a pretty poignant moment when I see plastic swishing around with fish circling it. I don't know why, but I always remember that. Turtles are curious things, they always come for a tickle. I dived in an area with barracudas once, that was interesting. It's the only real predator I've seen diving, and even though they are pretty small (about 3, maybe 4ft), they're still quite intimidating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
