trivial things that make you smile,or make you feel good

Hah, you don't know how right you are actually! Back when I used to play football myself I'd usually end up at the CG with a knee/ankle/leg in plaster. I did indeed hop around the ground.

Now since my doctor has banned me from contact sports I just sort of saunter or amble

The ones that used to annoy me were the people that would walk down the stand (we sit on the back row in the front enclosure bit of the DRS) then stand behind me in the stair well against the wall, or hover in the stairs next to me and literally breathe down my neck or bellow right in my ear until the final whistle so they could then be the first ones out when the final whistle blew.
Eugh get out of my personal space, freaks.

Bloody homosexuals, looking after their own children!! 

Because he wanted to see his kid to sleep?

Ha ha. I'm usually towards the bleeding-heart liberal end of the TEF spectrum, but
LEAVING A GAME EARLY TO PUT A KID TO BED??

One of the reasons my season ticket was in the back row of the stand. Occasionally, the odd tool would sit/stand on the concrete plinth behind me. I would just stand up

Global Population breakdown as of this evening (using a few estimates, where necessary).  I find this fascinating in a nerdy kind of way.

Global Population born in the 2000s	2,027,373,502
Global Population born in the 1900s	5,368,610,363
Global Population born in the 1800s	2
Total Global Population	7,395,983,867

2 billion born in the 2000s. Eeek.

Actually, the first 'millennium' babies are 16 now. Sixteen. Time speeds up the older you get...How can that be 16 years ago.

It amused me recently when someone pointed out how often people saying things like "get out, the country's full" on social media post a picture of their ultrasound in their next update. Not that I wanted to start another politics thread.

2 billion born in the 2000s. Eeek.

The main point of interest for me was that there are now just 2 people living from a global population of over 7 billion who were born in the 1800s:

Name		Lives		Date of Birth
Susannah Mushatt Jones		Brooklyn, USA		July 6th 1899
Emma Morano		Verbania, Italy		November 29th 1899

That number will, in all probability, reduce to zero during the next year or two.  Fascinating to think of the changes that those ladies will have witnessed during their lives.

Seeing Ben Tozer's name in another thread reminded me of a conversation with a customer recently.

I had a message to ring a "Mr Tozer", so I ring and ask "Good morning, can I please speak with Mr Tozer?"

"Yes, this is Mr Tosser speaking". He pronounced it Tosser, which caught me off-guard.

I also used to work with a bloke called John Onions, who pronounced his surname O'Nyons (as in Lyons). What a tozer

My old company used to have a manager in Vietnam called Phuc. He pronounced in Fuck, but you should see the lengths all us middle-class southerners went to to pronounce it Foooook. It was hilarious seeing who could distort it the most.
