Little things in life that make you smile

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Ah, the old "I socialised with a convicted paedophile, stayed at his houses, attended his parties, but I didn't inhale" line.

Well, I for one am convinced.

I've mentioned before that Slough Town are one of my non-League teams, and was delighted to find out today that a fellow fan is Miki Berenyi, singer and guitarist with Lush:

Driving in East London for the last few weeks. This week I've managed to get from Poplar to Brick lane in just under 10 mins, from the bottom of the Isle of Dogs to the middle of Canning town in the same time, from Canning town to Pimlico in just under 35 mins and from Poplar to Bow (Roman Rd) in just under 5. There's been fewer bad drivers, less congestion, less speedsters, more parking spaces and overall a more sense of calm on the roads.

Needless to say this will all stop soon, when the parents have to take their little darlings to and back from school on the school run once again.

Ah well it - was good whilst it lasted.

Seeing people on the district line done up in tuxedos, bow ties, cocktail dresses etc, and then getting off at Dagenham East to go to that Secret Cinema thing.

^ Rakheem Cornwall, he's 6' 6" and 140kg.

His first class stats are decent, and he took 3 wickets first innings.

I wondered why so many people were glammed up for Dagenham. I thought that the Daggers were having a fund raising dinner and dance event.

'Nailing it', in whatever guise. There's no better feeling.

Having the random urge, to buy a scratch card with my morning coffee on the way to work, and winning £100, there are worse ways to start the day.

Finding out the nerdy Youtuber that was on Strictly last year is knocking off his Aussie professional dancer. Good on him.
