    I'd be raging if that happened me. Smokey bacon is such a dad flavour! ;)

    Cheese and onion is my favourite, with smokey bacon second. I'm not really a fan of salt and vinegar but I'd eat any crisp all the same :D

    Yeah to be more specific, old men and/or dads. Even young fathers - the minute they become dad's they start craving smokey bacon crisps!

    :D

    Not true BB. I'll always be a cheese and onion man plus I also liked smokey bacon when I was a whippersnapper :D *looks in the mirror in denial. I'm not old* :pac:

    watching reeling in the years 1981 edition and they show bucks fizz ripping the skirts off the girls. as a nearly teenage boy i remember thinking that it was incredibly raunchy. the father nearly turned the tv off. simpler times.

    I found a top up voucher in the cover of my phone. Two months old it was. Figured I used it already and must have dispatched it into cover rather than litter.

    Tried it anyway and turns out it worked :)

    Sometimes I get credit in advance, just to be prepared, and I must have forgotten about this voucher the previous time I topped up :pac:

    A school teacher in Kildare is putting maths etc grinds online ,free!

    Makes me happy that kids who cant afford grinds are given a level playing field like this.

    In a clothes shop today, for the first time in months. Saw a nice top on a sale rail, but it didn't seem to be marked down. I thought it might have been left there by mistake so was all set to pay full price.

    Took it to the till and it was less than half price. :)

    Not really trivial but kindness. People being decent and humble. Sometimes even when they are struggling themselves. These are the really nice traits in humans for me that keep the candle lit.

    Two of my favorite people came to visit today, they always lift my spirits, my little nephew has gotten so big, when he came in first he walking around looking for me calling my name :3 and when I came down then he ran into my arms and gave me a hug :o and then I was holding my little niece who is 3 months old now and was making kissy noises and at first she was just staring intently at me as if to say "what in the name of god is this fella at o_O" and then she started smiling up at me :3.

    I like that one :)

    My TH is that someone put something online, perhaps at first glance ostensibly for props or kudos - without actually having to do anything irl - but it actually entails doing good rather than hashtagging V Signalling crap...

    I hope that counts as my own TH :pac: :(
