Things That Gladden The Heart

Going to Spain in October and realised my passport had expired back in July. Applied on-line for a replacement on 3rd August and it's just arrived. And it's maroon. Pretty darned good. Relieved.

no doubt you are only relieved it's a maroon passport rather than you actually have back so quickly
 
Nice story from the Brewdog pub in 'Festival' Edinburgh.

Hipster in tweed flat hat waves £50 at barman in a six deep queue.
In a loud voice he says he wants 3 pints of their most expensive beer.

Barman says its £6.19 for a half pint and we only sell it in half pints because of it's strength.

Hipster loudly orders 6 half pints and looks around for approval then asks for a tray.
He then carries the tray back to a table as his two equally hipster buddies sing 'for he's a jolly good fella'.

Original hipster doffs his cap and in doing so hits the tray and they all fall off the table onto the floor.


In the original telling of this story the word 'Hipster' was not used. ;)

I was also recently amazed, my daughters had expired and we got the new one back in 8 days! Seems thats one gov agency with its act together!

Yup - and I was able to submit my application with a photo that my daughter took of me at home using her phone. No faffing around in photo booths or the cost :)
 
The street performers on Southbank... Always raise a smile from me...
If in town and you get a chance... See if you can check out the balloon swallower...
Proper makes you wince ;):D...

Also the Big Ben clock face looking real clean...
Looking forward to the day the scaffolding is all down...

And, before any saddo feels the need to tug me on it...
I am fully aware I am not strictly correct using 'Big Ben'...
 
A rather lary QPR fan just walked into the office to be greeted by the music from the Magnificent Seven echoing over the speakers to "celebrate" his team's performance at the weekend against West Brom. Unfortunately he saw the funny side. Most of us were hoping he'd really get the hump.
