Cable Forum - The Happy Thought Thread

Congratulations on the addition to your family.

We have a great niece Persephone it took me a while to pronounce her name properly when I became her Godmother and, years later, seeing it written still confuses me.:dunce:

I was taken aback when I first saw the name, but knew it was Greek mythology related. Daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Goddess of Spring and Queen of the Underworld having been kidnapped by Hades. She had to live between the two worlds.

It certainly is. I'm guessing it was because she is a spring baby. I will need to ask why they chose it was I get to visit.

I also have a half brother on my biological mum's side and him and his wife are expecting a baby too due in a few weeks. So an uncle to be again :cool:

All Virginmedia services have now been cancelled and disconnected saving me a fortune, my last bill was for £0.00 and the account should be closed on May 7th.

Also just cancelled my TV license and wondering how long it'll take them to knock on the door when I won't engage or invite them in.

My area is run down and not heard of them visiting anyone and I am sure a lot do not pay

Scotland Transplant Active Football team took part in a tri-nation tournament today in Dublin against Ireland and Northern Ireland. We won both games. 2-1 against Northern Ireland and 10-3 against Ireland.

So we won the first Gift of Life Shield and all have gold medals too. To say I am super happy is an understatement. However after such a long day I'm shattered and all sore and up since 4am, now back in Scotland and heading home for a well earned sleep. :cleader::nworthy:
