Great to see that you are feeling more like your old self.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Will finally be getting my LCD panel of my Sony 40in TV replaced at home on Sat 27th November as it is faulty and 3/4 of the screen stays black most of the time, so pleased i got that free extended 5yr warranty. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So glad for you Snoopz. I hope this one one wont give you any trouble and you will have many years of happy watching with it ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got another 3 years warranty on it if i do unless there is a limit to how many repairs i can have! lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And keep the cleaner away from the screen or they will end up giving you one of these https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/11/46.jpg :shocked:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Not a chance in hell! ;) luckily i never clean it, only bang and swear at it at the moment!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh is that how you fix your tv :erm: Must try that if mine ever goes :D:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I've had to do that everytime i have switched it on for the last 6 months or so but it finally started fighting back so i ended up getting it fixed lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:shocked: Is that how long your waiting for it to be replaced :erm:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes, because i haven't had time because of work commitments....ie working 12hr days often and weekends.

They not replacing the Telly they are replacing the LCD panel in it, atleast i think they're. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ah right. I thought they left you waiting that long to replace it. It might not just be the screen that is faulty. It could be something else. They might replace the whole thing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

When the engineer came he was here like 1 minute so hopefully he knows his stuff hehe.

I wouldn't mind if they replaced for a newer model, and i guess if it can't be repaired they would have too.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

One min? He cant have seen much in one min :erm: :rolleyes:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

All he did was switch it on and said it needs a new panel, he then said he had seen enough to know it does.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

:shocked: Would love to know how much he gets paid to do that and the length of time he spend in your house :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good for you Jo! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yep :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks for caring guys. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well you ARE worth caring about :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hmm I am just angling for a discount of the next master piece tbh :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I second that :D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

that is true :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It's so good to have you feeling better :hugs:

---------- Post added at 02:47 ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 ----------

Yup :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good for you! x

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Wow, I managed to complete an assignment for a training course I attended recently.

Doesn't sound much, I know, but it has taken up more time than I realised it would - so I'm happy I've finished ...

Now just remains to be seen if I have done enough to pass the course & get the certificate ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y28...s/194379d8.jpg and well done. You will pass with flying colours.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done! and I have to admit to not wanting to pass another assignment in a hurry :D
Good Luck :)

Hey - don't be so surprised at yourself ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So glad things are on the up for you now Jo! :hugs:

Och you'll have walked it Gaz I have no doubt!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Fingers crossed, not that I think for a moment you are going to need any extra luck, that you get the results you hope. Hard work always deserves to be rewarded. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I believe Fingy had her baby on Tuesday..

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Awe lovely! Hope we get some fotays!:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I did indeedy, we got home on Wednesday, all doing well.
Baby Ty, 5:51am on Tuesday and he weighed 7lb 1oz... won't scare the blokies off with any gory details. ;)
Going to try and get photies off hubbys phone today.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations to you and hubby Fingy on the birth of your little son!

Really pleased for you and all the Fingys, and congrats on the arrival of the latest wee Fingy.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Printer's working again!! :):):)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations Fingy, I'm looking forward to seeing those photos.

It's just trying to lull you into a false sense of security. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

TGIF - only another hour or so to go, then I can leave the office.

Update - my earlier estimate was overly optimistic; now I'm out of here..........

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You are right Jo, I really needed it to work as I wanted to print out a birthday card I had spent hours making for a dear friend who was 65 yesterday. Today because the panic is now over, it is working perfectly. :rolleyes:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Now There I must beg to differ, not about the cat's nature but, about the printer's. The threat has to be real, it must have a new cartridge in plain sight, thus proving it had caused you to spend hard cash, before it will happily show that it got the better of you.

As you said a cat wouldn't care one way or another once it had made it's point. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/12/47.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am sure she won't object to me saying that as far as I know Laura and family are well. She repeatedly wipes the floor with me when we play Bejewled Blitz on Facebook, as does everyone else . :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

All doing well, Ty just has his day/night mixed up so we are all a little tired. Couple of pics for you. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Aaaawwwwww - bless.

He's a handsome lad.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh Fingy he looks adorable. Though I realise it is probable poo related I just love Ty's smile in the second pic. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Beautiful Fingy! I wish you both well. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

He just needs a newspaper to complete the picture.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Cute, very cute :) - can't show Natalie though, or she'll want some ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You could always promise to practice more.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

is well happy liverpool are winning 3-0

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Awwww Fingy what a beautiful baby!! Pictures to cherish for a lifetime! https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/11/46.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

oooooeeerrr!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sorry I missed this. Congratulations! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I missed this too. Well done Fingy and congratulations.

When are you taking him to Disneyland ?:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Peter and I have moved the living room round and he was actually very helpful for a change :)

Still beat me at monopoly though ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Maybe he is making his own money Dilli lol!:) The things they can do with printers these days.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just fitted Apple TV to the bedroom TV, streaming programmes over wifi from iTunes on the home PC - never been a big Apple fan, but it just works.

Excellent picture quality, good sound, no lag - I'm impressed......

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

it doesn't do divx, does it?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It wouldn't surprise me at all :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You kidding? This is Apple..

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Unfortunately, no - however, there are lots of free conversion programmes out there, and on a 22" TV with upscaling, any loss of quality is (imho) negligible.

---------- Post added at 09:10 ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 ----------

Having said that, you can now get VLC on the iPad, which will play divx (legally).

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

True, but while Apple did allow VLC, they didn't make it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Agreed...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Managed to get my daughter some floor tickets for the Glee Tour concert in Manchester next June - I'll tell her tonight, and make it an extra birthday surprise.

I am sure her squeal of delight will be heard a couple of miles away (she's 23, btw, but a real Gleek)....:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Not sure if this'll help you, but apparently if you don't like the apple remote, you can teach the Apple TV to use another one.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My eldest (strange calling a 2 year old that) had his hearing test today which was arranged as part of his autism diagnosis.

My suspicions were confirmed, he has perfected male selective hearing at this young age and there is actually damn all wrong with his hearing, yay! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good to hear that... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is something I have never heard of Male Selective Hearing.;)

Does he have an ideal role model in his father.

Did you say something?:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Phew! That's a relief Fingy. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Great news Fingy, at least with the gender based selective hearing being recognised early and you will be able to nip it in the bud before it takes full hold.

If only this condition, shared by so many men, had been picked up when they were young enough for corrective conditioning to have been a viable proposition we women wouldn't have to repeat ourselves so often. :)

Seriously though establishing his good hearing must be very welcome news. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sorry, sorry I failed to take in any of that could you please repost it.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

here you go ........

..... though in the case of the older male hearing loss can be a expected sign of old age creeping up, so any time you need one of us ladies to speak a bit louder you just have to say. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Wouldn't be much good at them either as the men would still have selective hearing. I guess us women are doomed and have to accept the way the men are Jo :erm: :D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

All men should walk around wearing them :D:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Off to see Dara Ó Briain at the Leeds Grand Theatre tonight.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

ohhhhhhhhhhh great stuff :D - have a chuckle for me :)
Where's that 'I am so envious' smilie?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a lov1ely time and hope you enjoy him. Personally me if I got thickets for nothing I wouldn't take them but each to their own

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Really enjoyed him - he can riff on and off a topic at without missing a beat, and speaks even faster than me; he had the entire house in non-stop laughter, and how he used feedback from the audience was a joy to behold.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm really happy you had a good time and enjoyed it ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... (where's the jealous smiley?) :D
One smart comedian and a night not to be missed :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Tomorrow I'm getting Leona Lewis Labrinth's concert on DVD tomorrow. Cant wait to see it. Couldn't go to see it as I was sick :( so this is the next best thing. :D:D

You might still be able to get tickets to see him

Tonight (last night) was the last night of a 149 date tour - next year, perhaps?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh thats a pity for Caff. :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

No worries - he was sold out everywhere before I even got to know and looked into it.

Next time ;)

I'll have to divulge an addy and mebbe get 24 hrs priority booking etc, etc, :D

or - I could watch 'Dave' a lot to fill the gap in the meantime :D

Happy thought is - I'm stronger than I thought.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Funny when push comes to shove and things are put in our way and we dont think we can cope or are strong enough we actually surprise how much strength we have

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Finally completed on our house in Tonbridge! :hyper:
Only took us 3 years to convince our landlords to sell it to us :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congrats, Rammy - pleased for you that the long process is over.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well worth it in the end as the is no need to move and the house is how you want it.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2010/11/13.jpg and I wish you all the happinness in your home. Well done :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Not yet.....give it at least a couple of years:D
....but at least we can start doing things now :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nothing like making your own house the way you want it

I've just booked a helicopter flight over Liverpool City Centre and the two football grounds for my other halfs Christmas present - I can't wait! :D

Hope there's no snow on the day. it will look crap :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The weather has to be good or they don't take you out ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank good its Friday, it has been the bitch of a week

On Tueday our franking machines PSU went bang, so we had to use another but we killed that one. and the engineer had to take the PSU out of the other machine and put in ours.

On Wednesday I had to credit the machine with £5,000, on Thursday morning I had to add another £5,000, and again on Thursday PM £5,000. This Morning I needed to add yer another £5,000, but there was no cash.

But thank god it was sorted. in two day I estimate that I've franked in excess of 56,000 letter/parcels.

All that for £5.91ph

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

There's no place like home Rammy, especially when it belongs to you!

Well you will just have to cut back on the billet douxs Hom3r lol! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Are you sending all of Cableforum's members a Christmas card.:D

Well close, sending out wage slips (its part of a contract that the company I temp for does)

Love letters, literally 'sweet note' in French.

(No, NOT French Letters...)

My happy thought:

Went to see Matthew Bourne's Cinderella at The Lowry last night.

Brilliant, unusual twist being set in London during the Blitz. Two and a half hours flew by...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good day, today - day's hol, went Christmas shopping with my better half, got lots of prezzies for friends and family, lunch at Harvey Nicks Leeds, more shopping in the afternoon, got home, finished off the prezzie shopping on t'intraweeb, then took the family out for a meal, now finishing off a bottle of red - long tiring, but fun, day.
