Sat having a coffee and a cigarette on the balcony outside the bedroom, blue skys l,
And the sun is out, the dogs are playing in the garden it’s incredibly quiet apart from the birds chirping (and now the dogs are playing bitey face) the suns out and everything for once feels tranquil.

I wonder how long it will last

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Until the kids/SWMBO get up…

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

No kids just the pups….

SWMBO arrived with ‘I think we should….’ Which translates to ‘you’re going to do’

Ah well, nice while it lasted

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Fantastic UK weather again for another 2 weeks off in the UK for days out, I timed my 2 weeks off perfectly back in June too. I can't remember such a good summer in the UK before, atleast as an adult I can't really remember how long it lasted 40 odd years ago.

Longest ever single bike ride today of 60 miles. Will not be doing much more today I tell ya haha

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

Re: The Happy Thought Thread

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Out for another association walk this morning with Rossi our idiotic greyhound and Oliver who’s coming to us after we get back home from holiday. He’s currently being fostered by one of the rescue center workers as he was not coping in kennels at all, Brindle lurcher less than a year old, was kept in a garage , horrifically treated & never associated with other dogs.

So this is a slowly slowly to make sure he’s ok. Everytime we go and meet him and spend time with him there’s a little less fear and a little less nervousness.

I'm happy football is back :D

I was riding/walking my bike tonight and I was gonna coast down this hill so I could rest up a little.... I put my glasses in my pocket.........

When I got to the bottom og the hill I went for my glasses and they had fallen out!!

I looked on the road,I was fixin' to get a flaxh light and go back and look for them when I notced they had been caught in my bike!!! (They didnt fall on the ground after all)

Wow what are those chances?? :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

100% chance cuz it happened hahaha

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Goes on too long.


Should be soccer - October to March then cricket for the other 6 months. OK, with our weather maybe allow the soccer to run to May but it really shouldn't start so early.


And then holding the world cup (Rugby is guilty of this too) in the middle of the northern summer!!! They should move this around so it's held in the winter for the hemisphere it is located in. That way it doesn't always disrupt the local game in the south.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

They did that for a recent world cup I'm sure and it was plain weird. I think the main idea is that its during the time between seasons.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

I feel the same with Soap Operas, too many of them and they're constantly on the TV. Add to those the crap like 4 in a bed, Bake off, Masterchef, that SAS rubbish and all the celebrity housewifes of some shithole nobody cares about.

Which is why I don't watch them :p:

oh, and it's 'football' . . unless you're American

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

True, all the same just with a different set/staff/cast/task but essentially the same.
And, I believe, it was soccer here too for quite some time too. Was it the Americans using it that pushed to using football. Still using soccer distinguishes it from the various other "football" games especially that one that rarely uses the foot (the one that you don't touch down to get a touch down).

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

It's criminal to call it Soccer in the UK! You should be taken outside and tied to the goal posts! Lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

Its 19th Century comes from Assoc and er
Assoc is abbreviated for association and association football was first played in the 19th century

The word Soccer is as English as it gets

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

it's still the worst game on the planet

Re: The Happy Thought Thread
 

ya preaching the the choir mate
