Should be good, after nearly 10 years, my digs might be given a fresh coat of paint. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Um - Cheers :)

You just KNOW something exciting is going to happen now :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Borrow a guide dog and turn up for a test drive :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If he's going to do that then he ought to incorporate something I saw on the Viz Top Tips Facebook page the other day.

Obviously with Dilli in on the joke, he should turn up on the day with someone pretending to be his guide dog. Not in costume or anything, just a bloke on all 4s wearing a lead and making occasional 'dog noises' and when anyone approaches them, the dog-bloke should whisper "I've been doing this for weeks now and he still has no idea!!".

If possible get someone to YouTube it - imagine the laughs :D

:p: and :PP: at Russ.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Oh I don't even think dillii needs to borrow a guide dog.

Just turning up in his cast with his white stick and dark glasses should get quite an interesting reaction. He could also point out his 'pinging glasses' which should be able to help him drive forwards although, he would probably have to test to see if looking towards the rear view mirror gives enough pings to help him reverse. Maybe the Manager of the Car Showroom will be able to clarify that point befor dillii takes the new car on a test drive? :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well they do have reversing sensors on a number of cars now. It may be that you won't need to look in the rear view mirror dilli. I'm still waiting to find out about the blind tennis :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Some good ideas there :)

If I /did/ go I certainly would get someone to video it :)

BTW I've never driven a car at any point (only forklifts) so it would be a toss up what'd happen anyway even if i COULD see properly :)

The forum meeting is Tuesday so expect a report in the evening :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

;) Just make sure you tell the manager about your extensive previous driving experience maybe even flash your forklift driving certificate at him. That would be bound to impress him :D

Here's a piccy of the newest addition to our household.

He's a rescue dog (from the local Dogs' Trust), and he's three years old.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

He looks lovely.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

He's a fine looking dog Hugh. I hope you'll all be very happy together. What's he called? :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Denzel - previous owners named him that, and it would confuse him to try and change it.
