Richard Osman struck all sorts of chords with his tip on ‘living life to the full’ – 17 very relatable replies
As if we didn’t already love Richard Osman enough, the Pointless guy turned gazillion selling author has been on Twitter sharing his (brief) thoughts on living life to the full.
And we mention it, not only because it made us feel so much better about a weekend spent largely making Lego stop-motion videos and watching old Taskmasters, but because it struck a chord with so many people.
When people say ‘live life to the full’ they’re usually telling you to go on adventures, to say yes to opportunities and to embrace new experiences. But I do think that living life to the full can also mean watching the darts with a cup of tea while the cat sits on your lap.

I totally agree. Chloe and I just recently had a new baby girl and I can’t imagine anything better than spending time together, just the three of us, doing ordinary every day stuff. I don’t need big adventures. pic.twitter.com/tVTyy0SqxX

Absolutely this! My husband and I run an exclusive cinema club that involves the two of us discovering a new film together every Wednesday evening with a bottle of wine. We also write little reviews on an excel spreadsheet. Pure joy!

I’m lying in bed reading a book on a Saturday afternoon. This is me living my life to the full.
