Things that were surprisingly good.
There's always at least one thread 'current' on the BBS regarding stuff that irrititates us. Stuff in general, specific stuff, football stuff, life stuff, girl/boy stuff, white van man stuff, the list is endless.

So, how about a thread for stuff you thought was surprisingly good. Either stuff that you thought would be bad, or stuff which, had you thought about it at all, you WOULD have thought it was bad etc etc. Stuff that, in the end, turned out to be alright, bettter than average, good even.

Currently the new All Bran advert with Captain Kirk. Previously, I'd always thought he was as up yer own arse as you could get and my opinoin of him didn't reach much higher than tosser. But, he takes the mick out of himself here and it makes me smile and when he gets to the end and just says "Oooh.." I always chuckle.

Surprisingly if inconsequentially, good.

I'm pleased with my latest haircut.
I had a better than expected night out at the North Downs Club on Saturday.
My ear problems have cleared up.

Happy.

A Saturday night out in Liverpool. Not sure why but I had the misconception that I wasn't going to enjoy it and it was absolutely great. Highly recommended.

This morning - the sun was shining and, in spite of everything, I felt quite chipper cycling up to London this morning.

I quite like my job, which I don't think I can ever have said before.

Of course, what I really mean, is that I like the way I get paid to use the BBS.

The film Love Actually was surprisingly good (embarrased smilie required).

I'm not a fan of rom-coms, especially ones starring Hugh Grant, but I was on a long flight, had finished my book and the batteries in my personal stereo had run out.

Still not tempted to see Notting Hill, Bridget Jones or anything else similar though.

Probably the worst film I have ever seen, certainly the worst of that genre.

The thread is on things that are surprisingly good.

I wouldn't describe this film as good (or anywhere close to approaching mediocre for that matter), just far better than the very low expectations that I had for it.

I quite like 'Murphy's Law' on Thursday nights BBC1. Very violent and dark but if you can put up with finger slicings and murders all very well done.
