Ok, here we go.
Walking through the park in the auterm or when it's snowing, esspesh if you're walking along a path with tall trees on eaither side and it's like being indoors when you're outdoors. Or maybe when you're walking down there and there is a big country mansion at the end of the path, and you come up with stories about how Henry the 8th lived there and made people fight. And when you're walking along the park and someone walks past with a dog and you say 'how do?' and they say the same thing back. Or when they've got a kid on a bike going "weeeeee". And seeing someone you fancy for the first time and although you'll never do anything about it, you're just pleased with wondering about ifs and buts. I like getting cheques for eaither hard work that I've done or unexpected out of the blue. I like it when you are on a plane with BA and they don't charge for drinks and stuff, and although it's all free, you order what the person next to you has so you can give it to them. I like good films about dogs, or holigoons, or hoodies. I like it when you order a take away and they've got it all perfect; the crispy beef is crunchy rather than chewie and although you forgot to ask for no fresh chilli, they remembered from last time. I like it when you walk down the road and you see someone you know and you say 'hi' and they say 'hi' back and that's that. I like it when you go around the corner to a loved one's house as you're visiting and you think "Oh god, I hope they're not out" as you haven't rang them up, but they're in, and just to top things, the kettle has just boiled. I like it in Hollyoaks when the good stories come to the start or end. I like it when tablets all kick in and everything is good with the world once again. I like it when your friend comes round and you're knackered so you fall asleep on the couch, but when you wake up they're perfectly fine just watching telly and leaving you to it, and don't think anything more about it, 'cus they know you get tired. I like it when you get new clothes because you want some new clothes rather than because you have to because you don't have anything clean or suitable to the occasion. I like it when you find a new album or artist that you really like, or are reminded of an old one you haven't listened to in years (have you heard that 'lisa loeb' song 'stay' ? I like that one). I like it when you have to do something horrible and horrific to you, but then once it's started it isn't so bad, and when it finished it's no big deal. I like lots of things.

Guy Fawkes night
is one of my favourite nights of the year. They have an awesome display at a village near me, lods of fireworks, the biggest bonfire you've ever seen and a fairground nearby with toffee apples and candyfloss and stuff.

I look forward to it every year.

Also it's an excuse to wear
ALL your jumpers at once.

That's all very lovely and that.
But getting 2 complimentary poppadoms when you've only order a curry for one is ever better.

Especially when they throw the pickles in with them too.

Poppadoms just seem a waste to me
They taste like paper

Paper
covered in lime pickle, coconut, mango and onion.

Lovely.

Meh, makes it easier
I threaten to break their hips if they don't put out, and they can't remember my name afterwards anyway. They'll name half the planet before they remember my name!

Brilliant.
I hadn't fully considered those advantages.

I suppose the other bonus, is that if your performance is sub-standard, they'll not remember that either.

They're the best bit.
There was this place not to far from me, that delivered to my mums but not mine, that did like 8 different dips and condiments, but we lost the menu and don't know the name of the place, it was the best indian I've ever had. I'm reduced these days to ones with just Mango, Onion Salad, Lime Pickle (no thanks) and Yoghurt Stuff.
