Cable Forum - The Happy Thought Thread

It's a good day for conker collectors . What's up with the kids these days? None of them seem interested in picking them up. They'd have been scrapping over them in the 1970s :)

Health and safety obviously. You're not allowed to play conkers anymore. Well not without full body armour, helmet and goggles etc and certainly not without a responsible adult present who at least needs to be trained in H&S and has legal advice to adjudicate.

Same applies to those climbing trees, making rope swings, crafting bows and arrows, swimming in the local ponds/rivers, and all other activities that once were fun as a youngster.

I remember buggering off out after breakfast and coming home (late) for the evening meal - warmed up in the oven if you were lucky :D

Pretty sure it didn't kill me or any of my friends ;)

Good to get a decent nights sleep after spending several days in hospital having gallstones removed. Does anyone know if you still get an ache in the right side after surgery?

My ears have cleared :woot: I can stick a finger in one and hear out the other and vice versa equally as good. :D

There's no need for a follow up appointment with my GP. I could to be 100% sure but a lot comes down to how I feel which they the doctor cannot tell so it'll just be a waste of time.
