Introduction

This blog was created to pass the time whilst I am on the dole waiting to start work. Being skint and bored makes you appreciate the little things in life. Cheap thrills and simple pleasures. I'm not talking about warm fuzzy feelings from watching a sunset, swimming with dolphins or receiving hand written post. It's the smaller stuff that gives you a kick, that nearly kills you or knocks you out. That isn't crumby, corny or phony. That you think no one else notices or appreciates, but probably everyone does.
Inspired by the following short film, "Foutaises" (things i like, things i hate) by Jean-Pierre Jeunet the director of Amelie:
John Coltrane playing "My favourite things":

Love the name tags bit. Love it, love it. Love wearing them as well. Especially when they don't display my real name. I once wrapped a towel around my head, put on sunglasses and wore a nametag that said "Nahib". Good times, I tell ye, good times.
