Um, well the left one was ;)

I have been told it either looks like a storm trooper leg or robocop.

I prefer robocop, but I have yet to find the button to get the gun to pop out :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I thought you didn't like "old peoples'" restaurants? ;)

Honestly, thought, I hope you and your wife have a great time and a delicious "fusion" meal. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well it beats fission I suppose...... :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Gone fission...........

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I love fission chips. :)

I just got given an old mac (powerPC G4 - apparently). Nice :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent - you've gone over to the Dark Side...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Consdering how old and slow (733Mhz) the cpu is I am actually very impressed :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Will that persuade you to upgrade to an iMac or a MacBookPro at a later stage? :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Gosh no - Not until I can play all my games on one :). I know you can dual boot nowadays but it's still not up to the job on my friends mac.

This one I got given is going in the lounge for surfing and downloading I think :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well I took a piccy.

All still seems ok, but obviously there is some software that's not all that up to date. Still, it does seem ok. And I'm now waiting for usb wifi adaptor to be able to put it out of the way :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And here it is in it's new home :) (just need to get elite running on it and i'm all set ;))

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

That is such good news Tinkey. Well done https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/02/8.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Messing about with a Tosh Folio Tablet (loaner for a month from Toshiba).

Not as intuitive as an iPad, but not too bad - good video, good wifi, good bookreader.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

After 15 years faithful service our old Toshiba TV is no more.

Now we have the nice new 32" Samsung with HD.

Now have to see if there is enough left in the kitty to get a V+HD box installed.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one, I hope you can get a V+ as you will enjoy it.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Lucky you. Mum keeps taking those and with the test monitor I keep hearing "WHAT?!?!" accompanied by lots of swearing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Perhaps it's time for your Mum to go and see her doctor again. My doctor prescribed a higher dose of medication which now seems to be working. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We went to the fantastic wedding of a young friend yesterday and both the bride and her mother wore Doc Martins. Very tastefully done of course. :D The Bride's were white with flowers and matched her long white wedding dress and tiara beautifully. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Actually I've found a fly in the system..Seems as an EXISTING customer I will have to pay a monthly fee for a V+HD box and the old man is flat out refusing to pay it.Doesn't mind the £49 installation fee just won't pay monthly.
If we were a new XL TV customer we'd get it for free.:mad:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What package are you on.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

All that it says under my status except we are XL TV..and have been for years.Oh and we get Talk Weekends but never use it and it's BB M.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Accordin to the website if you are on XL TV you only pay for the activation and the is no monthly charge, call tomorrow morning and speak to another agent unless Benmcr can shed any light on this.

http://shop.virginmedia.com/digital-...us-hd-box.html

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

and you are correct about the no monthly fee.The only fly in the ointment is that the activation/installation fee for an existing customer seems to be £69.99.

I pointed out that the VM website is rather misleading over this point.

Would be nice if others pointed out this fact too.Hint,hint.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yeah, I may have to point this out to her. I think she's had her tablets changed once already.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Turkey I have suffered high blood pressure for more year than I care to remember, and I have had several adjustments/new pills to try and bring it all under control. Please urge your Mum to see her Doc, it really is very important.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So glad you had a nice time. We used to go to Devon quite a lot. It was nice too :cool:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My plan to get someone to take over my game playing starts now :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got the box,installed it and we are up and running..now to send the old one back.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Very soon you will wonder how you did without one for so long, what with being able to pause live TV and the ability to record 2 other channels while watching a 3rd, enjoy.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Wow something worth watching on 3 channels at the same time, that is a happy thought...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It'll never happen :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Finished preparing my presentation for a conference next week - means I can have the weekend off.

Yay!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

After the week I've had today's grown to be a good day, and I feel very positive for this weekend. Which is better than I felt Monday. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I can understand the relief :D
What form is the presentation in?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

PowerPoint - 35 slides for a 25 minute presentation, with ten minutes Q&A afterwards.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Best of luck with that... and don't forget if you get stuck with your words just think of John Prescott for inspiration.... :D

Was happening to me on a Tuesday but one show has finished.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I was standing in the park wondering why frisbees got bigger as they get closer. Then it hit me.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You crack me up :D

Yes! :tu: (I want your tablets Tinky :) )


Just keep their eyes on the screen - that's always been my ploy :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you have a nice weekend.!!!! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Phil quits, and he says he's sorry.

Respect :nworthy:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The artical was a bit hard to read.
He did no harm and I wish he'd bowed out in silence and left 'us' with respect for him and his past talents without a headline in that rag. :(

Thanks for sharing Danielf :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

More respectable source A bit sad, but I could never stand his music, so I think apologies were long overdue. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I think he could have been a bit more gracious and less plaintive - especially announcing it through that rag. :(
I'd have bought him a drink.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Why does he apologise? his drum work was awesome.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Pity about his singing though.;)

My 'Blaze' live on Sky.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yesterday I applied for a job as a Ramp Agent (Working on the Ramp, you will be loading bags onto the ramp and into the hold of the aircraft, roping off the engines, directing traffic, ensuring all doors are secured, attaching stairs, operating other ground machinery as required, and preparing for aircraft arrival and departure).

Found out today that the hours are OMG, early shift starts at 4am, and late shift finishes at 1 am.

Don't fancy the hours, but I really like the job. So everything crossed.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Sounds tough - I'm crossing them with you.
Youngest has just come home from an 8AM to 10PM shift. He'll shake up soon and so will you :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you get it, but those hours are worse than mine when i am on shifts of 6am-2pm which meant i dragged myself out of bed at 5..... although you do get used to it.

But you probably need to get up at 3am!!!!! good luck!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just got back from a fantastic production of Private Lives at the Royal Exchange.

Stage level seats free of charge as we're getting married there... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

At least you got something out of the proposal.;)

Apart from the joke that is a nice thing for them to offer couples getting married there, nice one.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hi all, not been around for a while due to working my butt off in both jobs! I've also been spending a lot of time on Money Saving Expert forums and learning a hell of a lot whilst putting my finances into order. Normal service to be resumed now ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one Cobby, and a great gesture from those at the Royal Exchange.:)

Glad to hear things are on the up now Super, must have been a very worrying time for you.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

does that mean you're going to start sending me those saucy pictures again?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Psst...........here's one from me just to be going on with lol! ;)

Enjoy the new job. ;)

Just seen the International Space Station (with Discovery) zipping (relatively) across the sky on a very clear night, with the new Moon helping by not being too bright.

Amazing.

Here's a link for others in the UK if they get a chance

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Guess SB will have a bit of ketch(ing)up to do... :erm:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I missed it by 2 hours :(
Thanks for posting the link though.
I saw it (ISS only) a couple of years ago (with the help of the moon for placement) and it was far speedier than I thought it would be.

Happy thought is looking forward to seeing Alistair McGowan as 'the Pirate King' next Sunday and I have never heard of Simon Butteriss but I'm sure he'll be a marvelous Major General :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A cop stopped me for speeding. He said, "Why were you going so fast?"

I said, "See this thing my foot is on? It's called an accelerator. When you push down on it, it sends more gas to the engine. The whole car just takes right off, and see this thing? This steers it."

:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good for you. It must have been nice, ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

An old friend I hadn't seen for a while asked me if I had lost weight. :):):):) Oh! happy day!

Also did a bit of retail and bought 9 tops for £22 for the hols.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Don,t eat to much on holiday or you will put on weight.;)

Haven't had a chip since 6th January, so may just indulge myself a teenie wee bit lol!!!!:D:D

Sitting in the 8th floor bar at the Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens, looking out at the floodlit Parthenon on the Acropolis (through the falling light snow), drinking a large Glenlivet.

Sometimes, working away can have it's upside.....

Anyway, time for bed, as it's 18 minutes past midnight here.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm so jealous ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My Desire HD arrived today...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

17/6/11 - Whitesnake, Manchester Apollo

Tickets booked, bring it on!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got a good set of headphones yesterday.

Went up Tottenham Court Road, figuring that I would find a better selection up there than locally. And, TBH, I did. Tried a few, found a set I liked for £60. I thought I'd look locally just in case, so went to Croydon yesterday.

The shops in the town centre had a huge range of earphones for MP3 players, but in terms of actual over-the-ear headphones, no one were really doing any for less than £80.

Dixons, who usually have a good selection of headphones were only really interested in selling the "Beats by Dr Dre" range. The problem with them is I wanted a brand that is known for manufacturing good quality headphones for studio use, not a brand that isn't (as far as I know) used in studios, but is hyped as being so.

So, I caught the tram to the Purley way (they have a few electronics superstores down there). Went in Best Buy, didn't find a set I liked.

I went in Comet, who did have a good range of headphones, including the one I found on Tottenham Court Road. They also had various ones set up so you could listen to them with a variety of music (Jazz, Classical, Rock, Pop and Hip Hop). I tried various brands (AKG, Sony, Sennheiser and the aforementioned Beats by Dr Dre). Despite being the second most expensive, the Beats headphones sounded cheap on everything, despite being about £100.

The Sennheisers I chose (model HD205, which is also the same model I found up Tottenham Court Road) sounded excellent on all the types, and as a bonus were only £40.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I`ve got the HD485 and they`re really good.
