Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

As you know I've got it now - will repost the pictures from Facebook on here when I get near my pc and can remove the number plate :)

It's pretty smart it must be said :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You have to get out of the car to use your PC so I won't be holding my breath. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Such a Loving couple. :)How Wonderful.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I got out eventually ;)

Here it is.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

As I said earlier, it looks very good. The only thing missing now is one of these to hang from the rear view mirror.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I will now have to look out for one of those :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well I couldn't find a Marmite one unfortunately.https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2012/01/5.gif

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Very nice! :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Actually £5.50 (€6.50).. so you're now even poorer :p:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Saw this yesterday, brilliant...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

This will cheer you up on a cold Monday morning

Three little ducks go into a Bar.......

"Say, what's your name?" the bartender asked the first duck.
"Huey," was the reply.
"How's your day been, Huey?"
"Great. Lovely day. Had a ball. Been in and out of puddles all day. What else could a duck want?" said Huey

"Oh.. That's nice," said the bartender. He turned to the second duck, "Hi, and what's your name?"
"Dewey," came the answer from duck number two..
"So how's your day been, Dewey! ?" he asked.
"Great. Lovely day. I've had a ball too. Been in and out of puddles all day myself. What else could a duck want?"

The bartender turned to the third duck and said, "So, you must be Louie?"
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"No," she said, batting her eyelashes.
"My name is Puddles."

Shouldn't understand the joke but I do :D

Happy thought is tickets for is a buffday treat - Boy with Tape on His Face.
Not everyone's choice but I'm sure I'll be giggling me socks off :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That looks fantastic.

*wonders about getting tickets*...

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad to be back at 53 degrees North.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Not specifically a happy thought, but something that made me chuckle, but I didn't think it worth starting a thread.

Facebook has started translating foreign status updates to the language of the reader, using Bing to translate.

Good idea, in theory.

What happened last night was a Turkish friend of mine posted something to a rather attractive female friend of his (also Turkish), in Turkish. Being curious when I saw this with a translate button underneath, I click the translate.

According to Bing, he was asking her if she had wood.. Having largely the same sense of humour as Mr Love Monkey, I found that amusing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

HHHmmm - looks like I'm on course for my second carpal tunnel op next Wednesday.

MMMmm that's also my bad thought as it hurts worse than needles in the eyes when they put the local anesthetic in ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good to see that the benefits of having the Operation outweigh the downside of having to have an injection.

Good luck on the day dilli. May the Anesthetist have a light touch and the nurses be pretty to take your mind off the ordeal. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Only just ;)

Nope - I'm a married man now I won't look at any of the nurses :)

Cheers :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We will be thinking about you next wednesday and hope that everything will go smoothly for you dilli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What????? When did I get a sense of humour???

You don't get a full one, gotta share it with Stu...;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm shocked that my Aviva car insurance has only gone up by 1 pence this year for my Astra VXR, considering they gave me 12 weeks free last year! I was expecting over £500 when that discount was removed.

If anyone is interested they're currently doing 15 weeks free.

Just had the quote on my evo8 MR which is shortly on it's way over from Japan. Be thankful indeed that yours is under 500 sheets ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Happy thought - Not allowed to do the washing up for at least two weeks :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Now that is good news.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just tried a bit of Braille and the op seems to have made it a lot better. Now when I'm out if this bandage I can start to read proper books again :) :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice result. :)

After a week of tests I got some of the results I was dreading the most this morning so .... My Happiness is that I have borderline High Blood Pressure. Nothing that a slight Medicine tweak can't sort out but apparently the tablets have been causing some of my recent problems and should also explain why I have been having recurrent heamorrhages in my eyes.

Now if the rest of the tests are OK and I get a good result next week when I have my biopsy I shall be a very happy Jo

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I hope it's all ok :tu: you keep us informed ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Today Friday 10th February was my last day with Virgin Media, I left the premises for the last time at 12pm.

I took my redundancy early as opposed to the official closure date of the 30th April but I doubt it will get that far as people are leaving in droves the majority with a new position.

Now all I need to do is look to the future.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A day of mixed feelings I would guess. Good luck in the future, I know you will will miss some aspects of your time on the Dock but the last few months have been a time that you will be glad to be able to put behind you I am sure. :hugs:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's right be positive, reminds me of the last time I left the ON Digital building, good luck :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

To be honest been here before so no great shakes this time as my mortgage will be paid by the end of the year regardless.

Just awaiting final confirmation of my new position.;)

My family has had a new arrival.

My cousins wife has had a baby boy, he weighed 10lb, and not been called "Thaddaeus" like my uncle told us. But called Edward Liam.

Jude was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He is generally identified with Thaddeus

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nearly had heart failure in our local Papa Johns (excellent Pizza place). Had ordered my pizza for collection online. I got a phone call from the restaurant to say the pizza was ready so I went walking up there. It's only just up the road at the end of my road, so it's not a long walk.

Got in the restaurant, and my card was declined 3 times. I was getting a little worried. Turns out they'd unpluged the card reader from the phone.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My Happy Thought is I have my PC back. It was in for repair. I missed you all.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Hello again :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And we all missed you as well.:group:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good to have you back Nash!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks everyone. Now I feel at home.

The switch to BT went well and my speed has gone up from 6.7 to 15.7 :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thats great dilli.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My giant print bible came today - nice :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I didn't get made redundant today - my job is safe (for now) :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thats good news and lets hope it stays that way.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My boss has got himself a 27" Thunderbolt Display for his Macbook Pro... it's gorgeous (and huge!).

So, why does that make me happy? Because he has given me his old monitor to take home, so I now have a 22" 16:10 widescreen monitor on my home PC, instead of the awful old little 4:3 LCD I have been using for ages. It's so good finally having a big screen at home, and having a decent resolution :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good news :tu:

Went to see the Ice hockey tonight and we won. Woohoo!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done . My brother loves Ice hockey. He goes once 0r twice a week to play for pleasure and the love of it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Youngest son turned up with a bouquet of flowers and it wasn't even my birthday. Phone call to say HD box would be supplied free and fitted free tomorrow. Lastly but not least another great grandchild is on the way! :):):)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Its wonderful that you have such a caring thoughtful son like that and who can refuse a free box and installation and then the icing on the cake with another great grandchild makes this a day never to forget Tinky.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It's been a day of mixed blessings Den, thank you for your reply!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You certainly have had a great day. Well Done.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Are you a Panthers fan?
My home team played Braehead and... lost :( and... they're currently beating us on our home leg. Two goals down in less than 7 minutes in the first period.
I like the music though :)

Glad it made you happy :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If I turned up with a bunch of flowers for my mum. she'd think I'd gone soft :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Wow what a great day, shame we can't have more like that :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yeh but it would be a nice surprise for her, we only get one Mum Gary!

Yes Daddy it would but I have very little to complain about unlike many other poor souls.

7.45am today HD box was fitted, now up and running. Now to work out how the darned thing works!:confused::erm::D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

......sat in hospital waiting with my cast off and by foot getting some air, bliss :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

OooooooooooH Dilli bet you want to give it a good old scratch! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It was nice while it lasted :)

Eyes tomorrow (if they show up) stitches out on Friday :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent stuff. You must be feeling very happy..... :)

Well we've just had a bit of good news too. Osem Jnr has just been for his very first job interview and been offered the post subject to the usual blurb, CRB checks etc. It's only a part time role as a leisure centre party host but, as he's in the middle of his 'A' levels, that suits us and him just fine for now. Also it'll be good experience towards his ultimate goal of running his own karate club which will involve training kids aged from 5 years old. We're very proud of him.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck Dill

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That sounds like a very good work experience for Osem Jnr. It will be a complete contrast to his A Level studies and he gets paid as well. No wonder you are proud of him Osem.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good news Osem your boy has done so well and you are justly proud of his achievements.

My happy thought, new router arived today, up and running now. :):):)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done, that man (and his dad).:)

Thanks @ Jo, Tinky and Hugh. :)

In a rare show of being sensible the hospital. Just called and realised I have two appointments on the same day and are arranging one transport and going from one to the other - nice :)

In other news I'm also quite tempted to remove my own stitches..... Bored.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I haven't a clue what you are talking about heero, but I am happy if you are!:)

Eew how gruesome is that Dilli? I had an accident after my my stitches were removed from my hand and the wound opened up again. They told me they don't restitch and I ended up with blood poisoning, not good! :erm:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Natalie talked me out of it. The nurse did it for me this morning :)

It looks a bit raw but it's ok.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well l hope you are feeling a bit better then you was in the morning and just take it easy dilli.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Tickets for Disneyland Orlando Florida and swimming with Dolphins are now booked for August!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Please stop adding to the cruel world of dolphin abuse .....

quote : Last week, we received word from a whistleblower that a dolphin named Dixie, who is exploited in SeaWorld's Discovery Cove "swim with dolphins" attraction in Orlando, gave birth to a stillborn infant. What's more, even though SeaWorld knew that Dixie was due to give birth, the park apparently did not have a veterinarian available for Dixie at any point during or after her labor. She was forced to endure this traumatic experience—and its aftermath—without proper care.

link: http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/a...e/default.aspx


quote:"Swimming with Dolphins" and other types of dolphin encounters are springing up not only at marine parks but even at individual resorts.

There's no denying that these experiences are thrilling for kids (and adults too.)

Yet ethical issues swirl around even the best-run high-profile facilities. These top places contribute to a world-wide appetite for dolphin experiences: and copycat facilities around the world may operate with fewer scruples and less scrutiny.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Djfunkdup please stop responding with posts like that! This is the happy thought thread.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yea i am well aware of that :erm: ... how is dolphin abuse in any way a happy thought or happy experience ??

or do we just ignore the suffering of the dolphins and wish you a happy holiday :p:

lol as jim morrison said : http://youtu.be/K3CHi_9sxj0 :D

edit : and just as a little add on...i do really hope you have a nice holiday and i don't think anything i could say would change that,but at the very least i just hope you question your actions ..have a nice day :)

Been to group today which was great :)

I got given a eureka a4 (see here......

http://www.sensorytools.com/eureka.htm ) for more info.

Althought old it's apparently an amazing bit of kit.

Trouble is is it uses floppy discs so I'm in need of an external USB drive for my pc.

But as these things are still silly money it's was a very generous gift and a big thumbs up to my group for giving me it.
