I get ya but I wouldn't go as far as putting it as a simple pleasure despite the nostalgia factor, I'll never grow out of the fear of hearing that warping sound and the carnage that ensues when it comes to tapes. And I'm still feckin' buying 'em.
Wearing jeans and leather, not crackerjack clothes

Took up salsa and bachata dancing back in February. It's fun, there's a great group of people doing it, there's regular socials, and I'm starting to see and feel an improvement in my moves (even if I'm still a bit shite at it).

I dunno if this is a simple pleasure but this is sort of the good things thread so I was at the garage buying petrol and the owner comes out and knocks on the car window and says here what are you drinking this evening so I said probably nothing and he says what cans do you you like and I says Heineken are nice so he says wait there a minute and comes out and hands me ten cans of it for nothing and said it was because I gave him a dig out a while back with my own work.

Fucking decent of him

I just finished my first karate class in two years. I'm absolutely broke up after it but great to be back at it.

I had Ice Cube's "It was a God Day" on earlier and immediately thought of "finally got a call from a girl I wanna dig out"... the meaning is clearly different in 1990s LA  :laugh:

Watching a seagull scrapping an oul scald crow here over the bones off me chicken wings and it's a spectacular sight altogether

That plucky little scald crow is a pure legend :laugh:  :laugh:

Nico Hulkenberg finally getting a podium.
In a Sauber.

Indeed, delighted for him and not a fluke, either, he drove his balls off.

Sitting in the garden with the wife watching the sun go down this week, drinking wine, quality tunes blasting out the window. Lovely.

Tomorrow looks good so I'll have a stab at mixing a decent mojito or two.

No fucking way. Delighted for him. In fairness last season he was getting all he could out of the Haas. Flying this year with Sauber.

Finding ice cream you'd forgotten you bought.
