    Very tame as well, I have seen pictures of them taking food from the hand once you have their confidence, I'm going to keep trying...

    Getting up at 3 or 4am in the middle of Winter to fly to London to see the famous Queens Park Rangers. The buzz you get when your train arrives in Shepherds Bush. You know you are where your football heart is. Down the pub for a pint and a burger and to see happy smiley familiar faces. The walk to the ground as you contemplate the team. Getting back home at 9, 10 or 11pm totally exhausted knowing that this is your greatest little pleasure.

    My 2-and-a-half-year-old grandson doing his best to copy my (pretty good if I do say so myself) impression of Frank Carson as I offer him a savoury biscuit - 'That's a cracker!'

    Thing is, the conversation, beer and burger are always far better than the match

    Coming home from work on a sunny evening and watching the sun set from the comfort of my sun-room

    Yep, looking across to ferry terminal at Gourock and across water to Holy Loch and the mountains behind - can be a bit grim on wet days, but sunny days the views are amazing

    The hugs from the grandchildren.
    The home-made pizzas on a Friday night ................ and the fluids to wash it down.
    The cooler nights that allow for the fireplace to send out a magnificent glow & warmth.
    The QPR management for the yearly astute purchases.<laugh>

    The sound of my daughter's voice alone on stage at the summer fair yesterday. Not really a small pleasure, more like the sort of thing that you live for and work for and defines your life.

    Walking the mutt through the local woods on a bright sunny morning (as I'm doing right now) when I'm usually sweating in a suit behind a desk about now.

    This morning got even better when I encountered one of Mrs Uber's friends out doing the same...and this young woman is yum, yum, yum.

    This thread is working out nicely.

    The welcome I get from my dog after being out of his sight for 30 minutes.

    Spontaneous get togethers with friends, where your kids get on well with their kids, the BBQ lights first time and everybody pitches in with food, drink and entertaining stories.

    Getting all the change out of my pocket and arranging it in size order (my one submission to OCD)
    A pint and a packet of crisps
    The moment when you drink a cup of tea and immediately feel like you need another one...

    Seeing my son laugh.
    A good sneeze, particularly after a protracted pre-sneeze sniffle that can often end in the disappointment of only a near sneeze.

    Waking up feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep uninterrupted by worry
