A while ago I crashed my car, had the whole front end rebuilt (I'll feel it on my insurance!) got the car back and one of the arms on the folding roof shattered, £1500 and a few weeks later I get the car back and a Tesco driver reverses into the back of my car, twice!
Finally picked my car up today, all shiny and new, roof down, sun out, tunes on.
It's been a long headache but that 10 minute drive home I smiled all the way.

I decided not to watch the England game tonight and went fishing instead. Fishing has been crap but seems like it is still better than the football
About 30 years ago, I dropped (one of my only two) contact lenses on a walk from a villa, down a dusty path, at night, to the little Spanish place of Moraira.
On the way back from the bars, having drowned my sorrows that for the rest of my hols, I would be effectively one-eyed, I spotted a greenish-glow.
I stopped purely out of curiosity, and it was a little glowing insect, but it was just enough to illuminate my lost lens, several hours later.
True story, folks.

A little win in life in itself!Superb
Watch out for any forced migrants from Belarus hiding in the forestI think there are strict tourist zones, all marked and easy to follow.
Don’t want to be wondering into Belarus
.Enjoy.
Couldn't be arsed to be social initially, but took a rare opportunity after a departmental day today to try and force socialising with people in my building that i don't directly work with. Have come out feeling like I might have made some more inroads after slow going previously, to finally build some relationships with people working around me. Hoping makes work a bit less isolating sometimes

My phone had randomly stopped charging a few weeks ago and after buying a new cable, vacuuming the charging port, digging around with a bent paper clip and looking up the cost of a new phone, I finally followed YouTube advice and whittled a cocktail stick down to pick out this gunk out of the charging port: Works fine now.

Until a year ago, Mrs BC and Ms BC's (& mine until 1999) dentist was Dr Fillery.

Having to leave the canal side bar in Hackney Wick at half time watching the England game to go and watch the Foo’s - Result!
I’ve had two phones that have stopped charging. I never managed to dig out the dirt and get them going again .
I’d put this down as big win.
I’m a psychologist, and I started working with a new client yesterday. Anonymity is often important, so I suggested they didn’t have to use their real name if that made them feel more comfortable. My ‘little win’ was when they agreed, and instead asked me to call them by their username on a popular football forum…
Ben White - currently in Ibiza. Called that right didn’t he?
Have a go at that radiator next to see what comes out

Booked two rooms in a hotel two weeks ago so I could not stress out about getting away from the Pearl Jam concert. Booking got cancelled by the hotel so booking.com refunded me and sorted a new place to stay. Its closer and cheaper plus bookings.com will give me a discount too. Gone from £200 for the night to £24 for an entire apartment for the night. That's the beer money sorted.
