Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Two happy thoughts..

1) It's my work Xmas do tonight.. I suspect a *lot* of drinking will take place.

2) I've just ordered a rather nice 40 inch Samsung LED TV which, according to Dixons, should be delivered between 1 and 5pm tommorrow.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well first of all Stuart enjoy yourself tonight and just remember to take the right way home when you leave and secondly l hope you enjoy your new TV tomorrow afternoon as l had a Samsung TV and it was excellent.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck, and I hope you pull a decent one.

Let's hope she lives local then.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Who is Charlotte?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

On top form as ususal :D

Happy thought is that youngest is now in Chiswick visiting his sister - he hasn't seen her for a year.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The rehearsal went well but I'm worried I'll forget it all tomorrow.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

There is a special thread here for the happy couple.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed the Xmas do. The food wasn't great (it was good though), but the hotel chose a couple of nice wines, and if we wanted other drinks, the hotel bar has a good range. The DJ played a fairly typical selection of music (a few oldies. a few pop songs and a couple of xmas songs) and did a good job of getting the crowd going.

It was nice, however, to spend the night drinking and dancing with some of the ladies in the school office, the younger ones being rather nice.

As for the TV, Dixons said it would be with me between 1 and 5pm. At 20 to one, I got a phone call saying they were half an hour away. Sure enough, at 10 past one, the doorbell rang and there was a deliveryman with my new TV. We bundled up the old one in the van and they left with it..

The TV, at 40 inches, is actually relatively small by todays standards, but while it looked small when I looked at the same model in Johm Lewis, it looks huge at home. It gives an excellent picture on TV, Blu Ray and using it's own streaming media player. It also gives suprisingly good sound for an LED TV, but I'll get a decent sound system for it when I can afford to.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you both will be very happy. Have a great life together. :) Nash

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Youngest arrived home from a visit to his sis in Chiswick.
He does not have frostbite, and found her very "snobby". (She was always a complete drama queen).
I'm glad they met up and did share quality time. He seems unscathed :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

'Twas brilliant! Quite a few of the old Tull favourites; Aqualung, Locomotive Breath, Jack-in-the-Green, Bouree, A Christmas Song, My God.

Plus a few new songs & a Thrash Metal version of Toccata & Fugue, starting off with an intro of the original on the Cathedral organ! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Met up with Dilli and Natalie today in Portsmouth. They are both very lucky to have found each other and are a lovely couple together.:)

Cheers

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks, although my liver was a bit low (not sure why as i dont drink) and I am slightly underweight, due to lots of exercise, but it helps the diabeties in this case. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Got the new keyboard and mouse up and running, workdesk is looking distinctly bare (without the wires). :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hope you are enjoying your new computer accessories Tinky and yes its nice not have those wires all around the place.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you Den, it has occurred to me that if we didn't go on all these holidays I could perhaps have a laptop. But then we have to get out and about while we are still able.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes we only have one life Tinky and we all must make the most of it as we never know whats round the corner.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just won a bottle of Pol Roger at the fun casino evening. Top score with £781,500 at the blackjack table... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one Cobby!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done Cobby and may your good run continue.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Afraid I was unlucky with raffles this year. 192,193 195 came out in one of my colours. Yes I had 194.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Natalie and I have now picked a car from the Motability scheme and it should arrive within a couple of weeks :)

Nice.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice and here's hoping everything goes smoothly when your car arrives in a couple of weeks.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good for you. Hope you enjoy it. What colour & make did you choose.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We didn't specify a colour so we could get it quicker.

It is a Pegeout Tepee :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Looks very nice.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Looks lovely

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Get real. it's ugly :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Perhaps you need a new pair of glasses Gary to help you see better and admire a thing of beauty.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You appear to be confusing your taste with that of others.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Not sure if this is a good thing or not, but yesterday I ordered both a 1 TB Tivo (the current V+ is looking a little tiny now I am watching and recording in HD) and 50 meg broadband.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I understand what you mean. ok. for the sake of being PC it's a lovely car.

yes. I may even go and buy myself one but in a different colour. :rolleyes: :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You probably love a low slung sports car with a long bonnet that encompasses a massive engine with a wonderful exhaust note.


































Probably to make up for a deficiency elsewhere.https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2011/12/4.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Is that why you bought a low slung sports car with a long bonnet that encompasses a massive engine with a wonderful exhaust note?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have you forgot that I own a Suzuki Alto.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes. intentionally :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Don't think dilli cares what it LOOKS like...;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yup, as long as I can get my chair in it.

The dealer called today to confirm it all. It's a white one.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l bet you are looking forward to it arriving dilli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one it should look like this one.
