Following on from the Best Beach thread what simple pleasures do you enjoy? (keep it clean:-) )
For me, tired and hungry, eating fish and chips sitting on the Tankerton slopes watching the sunset.

funny you should start this thread as i was only thinking yesterday how i always like that smell of stale beer you get when you walk past a pub about 11am as it reminds me of past days off in seaside resorts in good company when you all decided that a pint or two was in order...0

sitting indoors watching my yorkshire puddings/cakes rise, whilst covered in a duvet in my pyjamas, sat on the sofa looking out the window with the rain lashing down knowing i dont have to go out. :-)0

waking up in a panic when its light and asking what day it is and being told saturday and then falling back to sleep with a grin on your face knowing you don't have to get up yet.

You'll be in your element when the smoking ban comes in, ltgtr, since that's what all the pubs will smell like...they already do in Scotland now.0 -

waking up, the second you think you are 17 again before reality kicks in again.
The sneezing thing is a bit Freudian as well0 -

its different to having a cold. a random sneeze that has been coming for ages, when it finally happens is such a relief. i love it.0 -

Tankerton Slopes eh Len?
My parents live in the flats next to the Marine Hotel, the ones on the right as look at the hotel. I love sitting on their balcony on a summers evening watching the sun go down over Southend.
If you see a couple of boys palying football on the grass during the summer it will probably be my two. Kick their ball back if you can.....0 -
1. Fishing in the fjord at the end of my "in laws" garden. So quiet and the scenery is stunning.
2. Polishing my Valley Gold following an FA cup away draw.0 -

i agree with Suzi on sneezing, love it.
getting into bed when the sheets are just washed, fresh and crisp
laying on a lilo in a swimming pool
reading a book on a deckchair
seeing a toddler really laughing
watching a film and completely switching off, realising you've thought about nothing else in the last hour
having a pint having gone a few does without one
necking a cold glass of water when dehydrated
eating a mint chop chip cornetto in summer
looking out a plane window at the carpet of cloud underneath
someone giving you an unexpected compliment
doing a favour for a friend and knowing they really appreciated it
seeing the family together at Christmas
smoking a ciggie with a pint
eating honey-roasted peanuts with a pint
finding every woman attractive after a pint
having a snooze on a sunday afternoon
walking up Floyd Road on a sunny matchday0 -

I'm the same!
a couple of years ago some young oiks kept playing football near my house and the ball kept bouncing off of cars and windows much to everybody's annoyance and generally i took it upon myself let them know of our displeasure and to increase their knowledge of anglo-saxon phrases when they started up...then one day I was outside getting something out of the car and the ball accidently/deliberatly comes in my direction...suddenly that sunday morning footballer instinct took over and, without thinking, i nonchalantly tapped it back, only i must have caught it in the sweet spot and it went like a rocket, straight at one of these lads and whacked him hard...they all looked totally shocked and just stared at me...things looked nasty for a moment then i says that's how you kick a ball...they never did come back after that...
mind you, why their parents were letting their 5 year old kids play in the road beats me...0 -
Playing on my Decks to myself in my room with no one complaining 'It's too loud' or 'have you got an Abba'.
