things that make you do a mini Henman fistpump
buying a 4 pack of something, opening it up and finding 5 things in there
going to put a load of washing on, five pound note falls out of jeans pocket
going to the toilet at work, choosing a non-smelly cubicle first go
more?
Last minute winner on FIFA.
Bagging the parking space closest to the supermarket door
Double seat facing the direction of travel
*with table
You get tables on trains that don't have the two seats on the other side facing you, in a set of four?
Running massively late
but manage to walk on to consecutive tubes and arriving on time.
Getting 2 x £5 notes when getting a tenner from the cash machine.
No
why ever not?
one of life's small victories, it is
imagine preferring fivers to tenners
madness. mad.
they're THE BEST though
you've yet to come up with a reason for this
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4434879#r7655116
not a reason: just the ramblings of a mad person
:(
Why do you want two fivers?
Fivers are shit. Can barely buy anything with a fiver.
Incorrect.
I only really ever get cash out when I want something small, sub £5. Everything else goes onto a card.
I'd rather get kicked in the nuts that be forced into the indignity of having to carry or hand over a fiver
Seriously, son
this is getting out of hand.
Theo, is that you?
No wonder this made it through.
No, it's not me.
Fixing a thread perfectly.
^this. They are also really shitty and old as well
Rarely get a pristine fiver

Cold. Let's get that fire started!
the traffic lights being on green the whole way down marylebone road.
Impossible.
Unless it was really early in the morning?
Being really hungry at your desk and then realising you've got
some food in one of your desk drawers.
winning at "swan"
Swan is a devilishly complex game my gf and I play on the walk to work this morning. The rules are - and please try to keep up - the first person to spot a swan on the river and declare "SWAN!" wins at swan.
We're both super cool people, obviously.
Anyway, I won at swan this morning. Absolutely crushed her. It wasn't until after my declaration that I remembered she has a doctors appointment this morning and I was walking to work on my own.
:D
The wife and I play 'bananas'.
It's a similar game except you try to be the first to say 'bananas' on seeing a yellow car or van that isn't a commercial vehicle or that has been rendered yellow for some reason other than the owner being a colour-blind cretin.
the ex and I used to play a game called "good night"
the rules are that just before going to bed you have to trick the other person into saying "what" somehow, and then as soon as they do you say "good night" and just go to bed with no further pleasantries.
Was it thewarn who played a game with his wife called 'Dead'?
The rules of which are, if you see someone on TV who is now dead (for example, John le Mesurier), the winner is the first person to point at the screen and say 'he's dead'.
I should imagine this is a nightmare when watching a Carry On film
*Dad's Army
The 'He's dead' thing is from the Mary Whitehouse Experience.
Or the commentary track from the Spinal Tap DVD.
The wife and I play a game
where I dress up as a rabbit and she sticks a carrot up my shitbox.
what's your high score?
11"
:D
we have a similar game that involves Land Rover Defenders
Getting an overpacked piece of luggage to zip up after a bit of a struggle
Getting to a post box just as the postman's emptying it and he takes the letter off you and puts it in the bag.
Finishing trimming my beard while the battery light is flashing, but before it runs out.
Waking up naturally just before my alarm goes off and being able to turn the volume down before it makes me jump.
Getting to the semi-final of a grand slam tournament.
oh god the luggage zip-up is tremendously satisfying
But not the semi-final thing?
So blase, Tim, so blase.
think of the number of times that you must fivers into the wash
i never must fivers
that's not what I heard
okay then i will
i hope you're not just saying that
my brother used to collect glasses in a shitty nightclub when he was 17
and he said there was always a race to see who could sweep the floor as you'd usually find £20+ lying about
Thinking it's a receipt
but it's a fiver!
Fiver falling out of jeans isn't a Henman fistpump
it's a Tardelli winning goal.
:)
Receiving what you think is a bill in the post
and it's just an envelope stuffed full of fivers.
underground stops with the door perfectly facing you
thankfully I don't have to take the tube
but it seems to me that those that do know exactly where to stand
I'm guessing that this is a formality for
your seasoned LME commuter. They probably mark out a spot on the platform to take up the same position each day, like a goalie marking out the centre of his goal with his studs
This is actually true.
even stations you've not been to
you can get a good eye for a high level of scuff marks on the white lines to determine where the doors are
...and then getting off first at the other end, only to discover you're right by the exit, and can walk out as the leader of the pack (broom! broom!)
Throwing something accurately into a bin from far away

Finding out a friend is visiting and that I hadn't expected his/her arrival.

spitting your chewing gum out and then volleying it really far into the air
with a well-timed sound effect
you mean you don't put it in the bin?
^monster
Realising you haven't left enough time to catch a train
And sprinting the 10minute walk in about 4 minutes, and then getting on the platform just as the train pulls in, and getting to a door just as it opens (although getting Ocean Colour Scene's 'The Day We Caught The Train' ear-worm afterwards does ruin the fist-bumpiness somewhat)
taking a piss after you really badly needed a piss
heaven knows I'm miserable now
cooking something for the actual perfect amount of time
Walking back into the office from a meeting
and hearing the DJ on the radio say..."that was Pink and give me a reason"
