NWR Silly little things that delight you

I've been told that I'm not allowed to buy jigsaw puzzles anymore. However, I've already decided that the jigsaw for next Christmas will be a u-boat submerging into a grey sea, with grey skies and some mist present. I have time to track one down.

That jigsaw will be for torturing adults actually, as were the others. I did put the occasional piece in too, just to increase the annoyance factor for the rest of the family.

I picked up the new Christmas jigsaw today. I couldn't quite find the jigsaw I wanted so had to have one made from a photo.

Here it is. "U181 . . . recently submerged"

Commentator A (TV pro): “Messi could be the best player of all time and he’s doing it on the world’s greatest stage.”
Commentator B (ex-player): “He’s slowed down, he’s dropped his shoulder and he’s went. He’s done the defender. What a piece of work, what a player.”
A: “The stadium is throbbing.”
B: “Still, fair play to Croatia at the end of the day, whatever happens, you have to say they’ve showed up tonight.”
A: “Astonishing when you think they’ve a smaller population than El Salvador, half the population of Israel.”
 
Made me smile

 
This news item from a regional newspaper’s online news made me smile, though not entirely in a good way, perhaps a bit more “Would you Adam & Eve it?”

Apparently £3 for a 6 pack.
Though It should of course be born in mind
This is not just ice, this is M&S ice.

Since 1987 my absolute favourite moment in TV sports commentary has been Phil Liggett at the TdF at La Plagne: “Who’s that coming up behind…it looks like Roche…IT’S STEPHEN ROCHE!!!”

Now been definitively toppled by Wayne “Michael may miss and Michael may hit” Mardle and Stuart “the crowd are going berserk” Pyke

Reminds me of my favourite commentary, also using the "I can't speak" line

 
Just spent 2 hours working out how to speed up my crappy internet speeds on my Virgin router - and now have 3x faster internet all over my house by putting anotehr router next to it and doing lots of dribbly techie stuff to link them together. I am not a techie but the sense of achievement when I now have 300mps internet while sitting on the loo is overwhelming.

As an aside my wife asked "why would you need such internet speeds on the loo".
My teenage son just started laughing...
