MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
After all the arguements recently. Lets have a nice thread.
So what has made you smile today?
For me it was a picture, Mrs Logical sent me, of my daughter with her new cycle helmet.
The wife, she's hilarious (in a laughing with you not at you sense)
Nice quiet 45 mile road ride at a pretty good average speed. Then getting mullered by the dog when I got home.
Not quite a smile as I was too tired, but an glow of satisfaction in doing a 2.5hr ride in 2hrs with a far too fit m8.
Nice chilled ride up onto the moors today. Decent weather. Cruising.
Deliverance on GT Black
A man flatly rejecting my directions, telling me he knew better before smugly and proudly marching off in the wrong direction.
Grass cut,washing out on the line,shelves up and bottom bracket fixed all without mishap
not having to go to a wedding and listening to this while tidying the house
Seeing a local martial arts club training in the sunshine, all big arms and muscle bound, and saying to their spectators that they were actually the Swedish women's volleyball team without make up on.
The spectators smiled too.
my lad.. who's 3 years old next month, turning his nose up at every sparkly, plasticky, corporate committee designed children's entertainment product in Toys'r'Us.. because he had his heart set on a wooden alphabet train (which unfortunately they didn't sell..)
my kid attempting to tackle a lad twice his size in rugby training today.
Reading about some of the Olympic volunteer's stories.
They made the event even more special.
New kittens ,loads of smiley moments.
Sanding down a oak beam from a rough saw mill finish to a smooth polished finish, stopping to have a tea break.
To come back to my shed and seeing what my daughter had writen in the sawdust on the floor while I was away..... 'I love dad' 😉
Built a sort of wooden arch/doorway on the decking where a clematis had collapsed the metal one we bought 4 yrs ago - the wife hasn't shut up about it since lunchtime - feel about 8 foot tall right now! I can't smile wide enough!
me and my little girl watching her first ever live footie match, managed 45 mins 🙂 then off to the pub with my neighbour of 72 (inc daughter ) for a couple 🙂
footie haterz can bollox
My cousins four year old son announcing to a bemused looking lad in the park that he is four years old while holding up three fingers. Then riding home on my husbands shoulders holding onto his beard to steer him all the way 🙂
Having pizza for tea, no work for three weeks and off to France on Monday 8)
Superb club road ride this morning. Sunny, dry roads and feeling fit 🙂
Finishing the balcony and planning tomorrows peaks ride
Did my first sportive today, smiled all he way round, was great.
Drinking Brewdog Dead Pony Club in the sun, reading Procycling, after finishing my last hard training ride before the Haute Route.
The reaction of the kind walker that came to my aid after an off today. His parting comment was "if it's any consolation, that was more spectacular than any crash I've seen on the Olympic BMX racing".
I made a chain whip....and it worked
Cleared the first table top on my bmx
Putting together my 15 year olds new furniture for his new bedroom happy son = happy mrs FH 😀
Getting up at 06.00 to see wild birds sat waiting for the empty bird feeders to be filled.

Had a couple of miles left to ride today and was feeling very disappointed that I hadn't seen any mammal wildlife. At that point a roebuck, resplendent in Summer pelage, bounced through the corn field. 8)
Mo Farah 😀
+1
Mo here too. Amazing race!!
Also the thought of the Daily Mail having to say more nice stuff about the child of Somali asylum seekers makes me smile a bit more. 🙂
My 3 year old son in our Sainsburys local singing the rainbow song very loud:
Red and yellow and pink and blue, orange and purple and Poo Poo 😀
He even got a comment from a fellow shopper about how nice his singing was
Paddling hot feet in Kochel-Am-See after a tiring ride, looking up at the mountain I just rode. Seeing a family splashing about and laughing together in the cool water.
My dog. She's such a beauty. Just wants to be with you whatever you are doing.
My wife. Same as the dog really!!!
Awh!!! don't flame me! Was only joking! I luvs them both the same.
:-)))
Cleaning the Kilnsey side climb of Mastiles today made me smile .

LOL! that takes me back, a loooooong way back...
When my bro and I were kids, mum shopped at ASDA.
At the time, their slogan was 'Wherever you go, the prices are low, that's ASDA price', seemingly played on continuous loop as you shopped.
Bro and I would sing, at top of our voices 'However you try, the prices are high that's....'
35+ years later, I can still see my mum blushing as she tried to calm us down....

So many experts, so little knowledge. 🙂
The fact that GB is 3rd in medal table - only 1/3 behind the Chinese who have 2,300x the population. 8)
the joy that my pigeon scarer worked, at least until it got dark, from what I could see.
a broom shank struck against a garden table makes an almighty crack! 🙂
+1 for the cheer for Mo and also Tom Daley getting his medal.
ride in the sun
tan lines
nice food and drink
limpics
+1 for Daley, young lad, so much pressure, such tough competition, a tough lesson in the reality of competition. Fantastic performance tonight. So little in it in the end.
Glad he got a medal, hope he's still there in 4 yrs time.

You went for my suggestion then (in part) - good lad!
Getting up [i]very[/i] early to watch Perseid meteors- remembering getting back together with my Mrs, 9 years ago whilst watching them together in the middle of nowhere.
Mrs Stoner and I explaining to Stoner Jr that Usain Bolt is the fastest man in the world at the moment. To which he replies: "What, even faster than you mummy?"

You went for my suggestion then (in part) - good lad!
kind of. I was cleaning the decking at dusk and there were two of them settling in for the night in the tree right above me. I spent 20 minutes trying to make a noise to scare them so they didn't shit on my head. the broom shank worked well.
maybe I'll try that a few times to see if they get the message before I try anything more permanent.
Riding a series of mooo-hassive berms and giggling like a school girl as I did so!
Sleeping out in the mountains of Torridon and watching satellites and shooting stars at 1.30am.. and lighthouse's in the distance around Loch Torridon and over to Skye.
Bolt doing the Mobot.
Many smiles today for many reasons.
Finished with one to when i popped out to hunt for night time wildlife...

Well I picked up my green Solaris frame yesterday (watching the shop trying to find the rest of the headset was funny, just as well I haven't ordered my transmission yet and so don't actually *need* it straight away)...
Going climbing in a bit, if I lead HVS today I'll definitely be smiling 
^ Is a bit "Silence of the Lambs" Shane!

Just started reading the comments on their headline article. There's some quality arguing on there.
Having a big ride on dry and dusty trails finally!
Having 2 offs, the second was going to be otb, managed to jump off and over the bike avoiding certain injury. Lucky lucky lucky!
Went to the beach with my family. Just the four of us. Nice walk round Llandudno then fish and chips on the prom. Never stopped smiling all day. It's the simple things...
Yesterday: great morning ride around Lake Colywd and then down to Llandudno to see and touch the owls. There are many types of smiles.
The thought of Fedexing a cat igloo complete with litter, poo and cat to someone I don't like very much (see Stupid Cat thread)
First decent ride in ages, big loop through rural Herts with a half way stop at the John Bunyan for a couple of pints. Nice dry firm going most of the way, sitting here after food and more beer with arms and legs tingling from the nettles. Bonus was the pub landlord giving what for to some ramblers who thought their dog was too precious to be put on a lead. One of the advantages of owning the business is that you don't have to be polite to morons.
I found my Car key in the Woods after a couple of hours searching for it...
Seeing the Green Flag Breakdown van turn up after our caravan had a blow-out on the A380, down in Devon last night...now that made me smile.
Earlier in the day it was my lads explaining to some folk that the crab they had pulled out of Brixham harbour, with a pincer & four legs missing, was called "Lucky".
My bike and the special, lovely people I've met because of it!
Also the team I work with every day ..... Speaking to them today about the new bf, looked up from doing a scale and polish on a dog to see: a gay vet and a very young vet care assistant pulling the 'muscle bound' 'pointing directions' poses at me! Saying "we not good enuf for you?"!
Believd me, it was VERY funny!!!!!! It's like working with The Waltons!
I also think that 'you lot' make me smile too! 😉
Following a chimney sweep van through Worcester today, with a sticker on the back saying:
[b]"No Soot Kept In This Van Overnight"[/b]
😉
I got an email from a man called 'Mike Cock' today.
'Mike Cock?'...... WTF? The poor beggar! 😉
Just remembered - I've met a 'Dwane Pipe'
