    The smell of fresh cut grass.
    The scent of my bfs hair.
    Talking to my best friend about something we love.
    That first cup of tea in the morning.
    Lighting a fire and turning the lights off in the room and just watching it.
    And spooning

    The smell of a new Ferrari, tickets for the Orient express and the gleam off a small stack of gold bars. Simple is best. So right Op.

    I love putting on a freshly pressed shirt before I go out for a beer with the lads or on a date with my bird.


    Nothing beats a freshly pressed shirt

    Or good-looking women walking past them, wearing tight jeans, stylish shoes and a good sweater. With good hair. Mmmm.

    Tried it once when young, mislead and stupid. Ecstatic as it was, it's not worth the risk and I'd well more advise holding your poo in as long as possible and then releasing it all at once.

    A seriously joyous achievement.

    I love when you plan to meet a few friends for one or two drinks in the afternoon and the craic is so good that you stay on for hours. Not getting hammered drunk or anything, just enjoying the banter. :)

    Some of the most fun times are in the pub with friends and not drinking, just laughing and acting the eejit. Thats what the beer garden in An Poc Fada on a Sunday afternoon is for! Bliss.

    Slaving over a meal for ages and then sitting down with a big plate/bowl of it and just tucking in.

    MDMA is up there alright... How about dropping half a gram of mdma then waiting 40 minutes then walking through a packed dance floor feeling all slick and cool to the toilet and having a great big poo???

    Walking on a frosty evening.

    The sound of tyres crunching over a gravel driveway.

    Coffee.

    Sleeping.

    Snuggling my OHs neck.

    A warm fire on cold, dark evenings.

    Pets.

    A good novel.

    Hearing a song I used to love and haven't heard in ages - it brings back so many memories.

    The sound of waves on a windy day and the first smell of the ocean as you get near it.

    My 17 month old daughter's cheeky laugh when she grabs the remote control and runs out of the room.

    When my 14 yo diesel car starts in the morning.

    When my partner gets her period every month, after 4 kids that would fill you with joy too.

    I agree with it all, and they're very close to the joy felt while enjoying a good long anticipated poo.

    Lots of getting-warm related posts, not too surprising considering winter seems to have suddenly thrust itself upon us. At least I love the crisp dry weather and Christmas.

    Cuddles and holding hands.

    The bass during the second half of Bend Shadows Towards The Light.

    Animals being friends.

    Kim Deal during Where Is My Mind?

    Cold glass of water when it's hot.

    When I get really, really salty crisp, the type that literally melts in your mouth.

    I love getting a mighty munch that's been completely covered in the seasoning of its brothers and sisters.

    Also great: realising you've got another crisp left hiding in the corner of the bag when you thought they were all gone.

    I don't have children myself but i have 8 nephews and nieces and at the risk of sounding soppy i would have to say that a lot of the simple things that fill me with joy would probably have involved them. Things like the first time each of them said my name, gave me a hug or kiss, actually this list could go on and on lol It's just silly little things sometimes but they brighten my day all the same :)

    Another would be when 2 of my nephews decided to break ranks from their chelsea supporting parents and siblings and come over to my team-Liverpool :D
    All my siblings support Chelsea so that was joyous to say the least lol

    Also in there would have to be waking up to the sun shining through your window, can't beat that feeling.

    I've a few nephews (no nieces so far) and they're just fantastic. Not only full of fun, but really genuinely loving, and routinely hilarious.


    Some more things:

    The moment in Batman Begins when the Batmobile comes flying over the river just after the police chief says there's no-one left to send in.

    The sea, especially on a stormy day.

    Whenever Jesse Pinkman says "yo" or "bitch."

    The Adama Maneouvre. (though it probably wasn't that simple to do. also Battlestar Galactica season 3 spoilers for the unitiated)

    Seeing someone's terrified reaction to a horror film you've already seen when you watch with them.

    Eating nice food I cooked myself.
