A kind word... still waiting
I love what you've done with your hair! Are those new shoes? They're fabulous!
I'd say Owain Doull reverting back to a rim braked bike would probs make him happy.

Are you required to stand up?
Of course, to attention. It's the national anthem.
Well at least someone's admitted to being a ****er, not usual on here.
'Yossarian is a ****er!'
That's made me quite happy saying that without being wrong.
Serious answer for once - freedom. So the summer holidays as a kid to the times I've taken a couple of months off between jobs. To wake up and do what I like whether that is a household chore or going for a ride doesn't matter having the freedom to choose feels good and makes me happy. Regular, routine office work makes me unhappy even though my job is OK, that lack of choice makes me unhappy
'Yossarian is a ****!'
You've put him in a difficult position. He is probably offended that you've said that but can't complain about it because he's admitted it's true.
It's a Catch 22 situation. 😉
My daughter recently turned 20 and the last time my Mrs and I went away for a couple of days she asked me to let her know we'd arrived safely. This is such a massive change from the teenage years that it took me completely by surprise.DezB - Member
Sorry for the cliché, but its mainly my son. He texted me from his school trip a couple of days ago to say he was having 'great fun' (teenagers just don't say that!) and it brought tears of joy to my old weary eyes.
As for the thread in general, seeing my daughter happy, and my Mrs. She's just about to turn 53 but she's running, yogaing and weightlifting and everytime I look at her I just think "phwoar!" 🙂

Well, you would marry someone 30 years younger. 😉
Some days it feels like it 🙂
Seeing a trail go in to the distance, sound of moving water, smell of forest/fields, warm sunshine, festivals, seeing my mate fall off his bike instead of it being me for a change, my bong
binners - MemberDrawing pictures. Seriously.
When I've got something vividly pictured in my head, and I get it down exactly as I want it, the feeling of satisfaction and happiness I get is difficult to describe.
I fully understand that, not from my ability to draw but to get down a design that sorts a problem out in my case.
I have occasionally sat looking at an old schematic drawing of a plant layout and had a eureka moment which in 3 minutes of sketching has saved £1000's in energy use and introduced so much more flexibility.
To crush my enemies. To see them driven before me. And to hear the lamentations of their women.
I was going to say burning off mates, but remembered I'm from Yorkshire and don't really like being happy.
(And as Sting - real name Gordon Sting - once said in an NME interview: "we're not here in this world to be happy. We're here to[i] learn[/i]..." Heavy. Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof...)
What does [i]happy [/i]even supposed to mean?
Still with the power kites . . . . .really
going really fast in a windsurfer , in the sunshine, when the sea is warm, then doing big floaty mast high jumps on the way out, then riding a wave back in and making some sweet bottom turns and drops on it.
Taking something thats broken apart , and fixing it and putting it back together and it then works properly, great sense of acheivement.
My beers getting 4* reveiws on Untappd.
[s]does[/s] is?
A work one, but, meeting kids who wouldn't have gone to uni without something I did. Doesn't happen that often- mostly we're all squabbling over the kids that have already decided to go to uni- but when it does it's pretty damn good. Some of my first guys graduate this year.

And Scotroute's missus. Or at least his reaction to her.
William S. Burroughs — 'Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.'
Staying away from the Brexit and Trump threads.
Barmaids.
Yeah, hearing scotroutes pay his wife huge compliments on here, hope he says it to her once in a while.
That makes me very happy.
Cheese, really tasty local cheeses
Well yesterdsy it was a diclofenac suppository, that and trippy dreams from 20mg morphine.
CFH sed> UR WRDZ R NMB.
It's a cause of unhappyness. [notsmileyface]
free haribos at work
Wandering around the scenery makes me happy. Seeing people smile makes me happy. Knowing I have done a good job and made a real difference to people makes me happy and just occasionally I get a nice handwritten thank you card - that makes me very happy indeed
Serious answer.
As per Kayak23.
My dog, camping on an island, and deep deep snow.
Edit: Er and the Mrs of course 🙂
True answer? I was asked this by my therapist about 25 years ago. I answered "walking with my dog Snapper down country tracks in the sun.". Still my answer. Snapper died 20 years ago.
Real custard
Not a lot after losing my mum last autumn but I've since started to realise that I like, a hell of a lot in fact, most of what's in my life; wife and two children, my Dog, and my job, and I'm gonna try and appreciate it more. In fact I'm going to start getting a lot more of what makes me happy; riding trails, running with the dog, having a laugh with my family & friends, trips away, beer, gin, meat and 69'er's, abound.
Though I'm writing this whilst trying to settle a restless one year old so his fun time with Daddy is getting reduced as punishment.
My kids but on the other hand they can also drive me mad!
I don't want to sound like a ****, but making other people happy.
It's probably why I've worked in hospitality of late. I love being a part of other people's happiness.
More self indulgently, I'm not a bad singer. Reducing people to tears is fun.
Nothing just now, other than time with my little girl. Everything else is shit, and I barely get to see her just now anyway.
Wish someone had told me 30 years ago growing up is shite.
'Yossarian is a ****!'
Excuse me? I'm a patriot!
Only jokin'... Or am I? 😈
Lots of things:
Winter flowers like crocuses and snowdrops
Riding my mountain bike
Friends
Music
Being by the sea
My fluffy cat when she's curled up on my knee purring
The turn of the seasons
My kids
That feeling of deep weariness when you've spent all day in the bike crawling up some massive mountain somewhere un-namable in the Alps, descending down some glorious techy goat track mostly doing ok, you can feel all the muscles in your legs and the sunburn on the back of your neck. Those moments I'll take to my grave
I'm a bit embarressed to admit it, but I'm quite happy at work.
Finding £20 in a pocket you haven't worn for a while.
Pottering about in the garden with "my" robin & blackbird.
My boy learning to read.
& just riding a bike.
My kids - in particular watching them learning new stuff.
(my 9 year old daughter made her 'big stage' début last November - that made me very proud/happy)
My wife - especially spending 'quality' time, rather than the daily rush.
Riding my bike on a warm sunny day.
Quality time with good friends.
Holidays/travel/good food.
There are three places in the world where my heart lives....
My home, which is the first house I bought and the last house i'll live in and these two places
