    When the office arsehole that never delivers anything on time gets and a kicking in a meeting from the boss.
    Short lived as you know he won't deliver next time either but a small moment of pleasure watching him squirm.

    When looking at my online bank account and seeing that someone who I've been chasing for what seems an eternity has finally paid monies into the account for work done months ago.......

    Watching the vast amount of fluid that's been accumulating in my patella bursa being drained out.
    (One for the complaints thread - watching it fill up again).

    Lovely view. I've caught a quite a few ferries from there, stunning part of the world. That view must have a calming influence at the end of a hard days work.

    Following a long dry spell and then you get rain which creates an earthy pleasant odour in the air. That smell has a name ... petrichor. I love that scent and I love that word.

    That's a shame mate. We've had a dry week down here. Thursday was boiling hot and sunny, the last two days have been cloudy, although dry and warm.

    Hitting that perfect drive right down the middle of the fairway on any of the holes in Concra Wood.

    Watching my local barman meticulously make my favourite drink; Jemson, ginger ale, one cube of ice, one slice of lime in the glass and another gently rubbed around the rim of the glass........perfect.

    Hearing my kids say the words "thank you" when they get something.

    Following a long dry spell and then you meet a bird on a night out and end it regrettably.

    I rather enjoy ending a bird's long dry spell.

    That's not a small pleasure, it's one of the greatest pleasures.

    The anticipation of the first home game of the season as I trundle down South Africa Rd.
