    So what do you like/love?

    Other halves/kids aside what makes you go aah?

    I'm an oddball, I collect knives, some cost circa. €400 however one of my favs costs about a tenner. An Opinel No 9, simple in it's design there's something beautiful about it. Indeed it made it's way into an exhibition of the 100 best-designed objects in the world, held at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum in 1985.

    First they came for the socialists...

    How do you own a knife that is currently in London 24 years ago?

    All good friend!



    I love a real good belly laugh, I have so few of them but when they happen I am elated for hours afterwards, just incessant giggling trying not to crack up again because I'm in work or in public or something.

    I like rusty spoons...

    I'd have to say.. Raindrops on roses
    Whiskers on kittens
    Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
    Brown paper packages tied up with strings
    Cream-colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
    Doorbells and sleigh bells
    Schnitzel with noodles
    Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
    Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
    Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
    Silver-white winters that melt into springs

    I see you've played knifey spoony before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32 CarolineBee


    Bit corny, but, standing on deck of the ferry as it sails into Dublin. That feeling driving home, even if only for a short break. Also first cup of tea at home sat chatting to family. Something I’d love to be able to do whenever but sadly only get to for a couple of weeks a year.
    Only four weeks to go til next visit :)

    I love when wife and kids are in bed about an hour and then I get my hidden galaxy chocolate and watch neutron stars and black holes on discovery channel.

    New bed linen.

    It might be sad but there is no way I can lie in a bed with new sheets and not be content with life.

    Is it coated with poison?

    My funny OH
    Purple things
    Hearing kids laugh
    Birdsong
    All animals
    Dancing around my kitchen like an eejit, listening to my favourite music.

    I know that feeling well.

    I'm a bit of a collector as I stated on another thread. Everything from football merch, esp football shirts to movie franchises to music collectibles.

    Doesn't have to be anything mad expensive either; recently I picked up some movie cards from the original two Jurassic Park films for about 6 quid. Happy out.

    I collect spoons

    I've collected spoons since I was a kid, there's something about the shape of them that I find very satisfying.


    I love... clean sheet night, the smell of sunflowers, warm laundry pulled from the dryer before you fold it, having the windows open and feeling a warm breeze through the house, finishing a difficult piece of work and knowing I did it well, singing along to songs in the car at the top of my voice knowing no one can hear me, calling my granny for a goodnight chat on her poker night and hearing her a little bit drunk and giggly like a schoolgirl, my dads Dad jokes, the feel of my little nephew falling asleep in my arms and his little head thumping to a standstill on my shoulder when he gives up trying to stay awake, bringing my partner some dinner when he's stuck in work at night and there's only a shrivelled sandwich in the canteen, the cat jumping on the pillow and thinking it makes it his.

    The view of the sea as seen from above on a hill or mountain, the sky full of stars on a clear night making me feel insignificant, baby animals, pulling the screen protector off a new phone and making the perfect toasted ham and cheese sandwich. And many more tiny happy things.

    Sitting with my old man in our front garden sun shining on a beautiful July morning. Sadly he left us so I will never get to do that again but I will always feel him when I sit out in that arden with a coffee in hand and just watching the world(or more appropriately the cul de sac) go by
