Sweet! Well done you. I was going to +rep you just for the hell of it, but you have way too much already :p:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So pleased for you. Been a long time coming but worth the wait. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks guys.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent news Mate! Really pleased for you.:);)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Jut bumped into the Happy Mondays on the way out of rehearsal.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

How is Mr Ryder.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

So it's the last confirmation class tonight, confirmed next Tuesday. The first step in a much longer journey :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

He'd already cleared off and so had Rowetta but saw Paul and the rest of them lugging the gear into an artic. They're 20 years older and not as fried ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad to hear the good news.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well done!.

Anyway, on to my happy thought..

Yesterday, I got a rather paniced call from a lecturer. One of her students was suffering chest pains and had trouble breathing, so, being a first aider, I went to see him, suspecting a heart attack.

Immediately I got in the room, I called '999', and went through the symptoms with the operator. I didn't think it was a heart attack (he wasn't showing all the symptoms). After a few minutes, the operator said that an ambulance was on it's way, and I'd get a call if they needed any more information.

15 minutes passed, and a Ambulance turned up. I went flying down to the security desk to report what had happened, and escort the Paramedics upstairs. Unfortunately, another student in a lecture theatre had had a major seizure, and they were here for that student.

Unfortunately the Ambulance never turned up and the student called his mother to take him to A&E. A&E took a look, and advised him to go see his GP for blood tests.

My boss spoke to him today, and thankfully, apart from having to have blood tests, he is alright. It sounds like it was just a severe panic attack.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You certainly had a busy day. better to be safe than sorry,

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That is excellent news! :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ooooh! And your melons are intact? :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nooo they never are. We had the Spinal Tap tribute band next door as usual.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well another day in hospital today......

And I went to the doctors yesterday to get some more results and now I have been referred to hospital for two more things that are 'wrong'.

Still that just adds to the rest and I'm getting my money's worth out of the NHS while I can :)

And in other good news the last confirmation class was great, getting confirmed Tuesday. It's great.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My Raspberry Pi just turned up - cool :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

What do you plan to do with it? :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Portable accessible PC mainly, but also I plan to run dosbox on it and play some of my older games.

I still can't believe how small it is.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I hear that a lot :(

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You should listen to the OTHER voices ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If you are hearing other voices then you really are in trouble

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The confirmation rehearsal went well ok Sunday night - but my I'm nervous about tomorrow, almost as much as when I got married!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just stay relaxed Dilli and l am sure everything will be fine tomorrow.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Dilli, I suffered being Best Man at my best mates wedding on Saturday. It was the most amazing experience that you ever could believe. I cried when handing them the rings.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just solved a problem with a site I am developing at work.

It should have taken a few minutes, but the solution managed to elude me for a couple of hours.

Anyhow, looked at the code tonight. After a few minutes, I noticed a misplaced variable declaration, moved it to the correct place and the page now works.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My best man is coming up from London to be there too :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Enjoy your day dilli, I hope we get to see a picture. :)

What time are you being Confirmed as I would like to spend a quiet moment thinking of you and your fellow class members? I am not a Christian but I do understand the significance of this day to you.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you :) :tu:

Not sure about pictures as no photography is allowed during the service but maybe a 'fake' one after with the bishop....

The service starts at 7.30pm and will go on for a good couple of hours I should think :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Ok, I shall be thinking of you from 7:30pm and, all being well at this end, I shall raise a glass of red wine to the new you at 9:30pm. :D

Now I am off to the Hospital to do battle with a new Consultant. Feeling quite optimistic that I shall win this one as one of my other Consultants is on standby to come and back me up.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I hope you get on ok :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just got my fave Bergasol sun screen. I hate to say it but those Frenchies know a thing or two, sometimes. All I need now is me shorts and some sun.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yep good luck Jo

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a great evening Dilli, we'll be thinking of you :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks guys. One happy bunny reporting back for duty. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/10/17.gifhttps://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/10/17.gifhttps://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/10/17.gifhttps://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/10/17.gifhttps://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/10/17.gifhttps://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/10/17.gif ... but golly gosh it got a tad heated, eventually the Consultant I have trusted my life with several times convinced the new guy that the terrible results he had found were just yet another side effect of my AIHA and I will not have to spend time as an in-patient, well not this time. I feel a lot better already. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/05/29.gif

Just a little growl as a result. Why oh why don't doctors read your notes as none of what happened to-day was necessary, it wasted a lot of time which could have been spent sorting out the problems of other patients.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad it went so well. Don't blame the.doctor for not reading the notes, you seen their handwriting

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm just happy to know that you got the result that you needed joglynne :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks jem. I love this little community of ours. Such very nice people, makes me feel all warm and fluffy. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you for your thank you joglynne. I'm off to the Doctor (actually Nurse) on Thursday. Gave up smoking 3 months ago but still eating nicotine lozenges like sweeties!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is nice to know how are friends are getting on. Glad you got good news.;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And thanks to you nashville. I'm not sure if we are allowed to mention God on this forum, however I'm going to do so. God bless you all :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I think God can be mentioned as we all thank him for something ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The Bishop and I :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Guess which is the Bishop? A very nervous looking Dilli, or is that the Bishop? Well done dilli and God bless :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Very nice photo, and you don't look at all like a gangster. :D In fact you both look quite hansom in your best bib and tucker. :)

Did you enjoy yourself?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Is a great night :) I got given a lit candle at the end and learnt that is not a good thing to give someone who can't see properly when he has a service sheet in the other hand :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

This is a great picture Dilli. One to be proud of.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Isn't it obvious, the Bishop is hatless :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My wife found out today ,(After 15 months`) that she`s kept her job as a Mental Health HCA on the same pay level as she was. :):tu::tu:.
Outrageous that they kept the staff waiting so long though over ward closures! :td::mad:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

good news all the same though :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

that is good she has kept her job.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Finally have BT coming out tomorrow to look at my Infinity connection. Willing to bet its the hub thats at fault, as I had to re put in the settings on the Smart TV to get it to connect to the internet again

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l hope your connection is sorted out soon MG as theres nothing worse then a poor connection.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A fine haul under the bed while clearing one of the spare rooms for decorating:

£5.21 in loose change

3 orphaned socks

1 jaffa cake

The jaffa cake wasn't the best. Should've dunked.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The main thing is it didn't go to waste :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

And the socks too? :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We don't eat socks on Sunday around these parts.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's reassuring :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My foot hurts :) - I'd go so far to say as it's bloody agony..... Why is that a happy thought? - well I've not really felt my feet for about a year now :)

Still I suppose I'd better get onto the hospital lol

------------

In other happy news - got an invite from the Vicar to cream tea and scones yesterday, very nice :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

l hope your foot gets better soon dilli.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I think we will all have to have a look under the beds.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Natalie and I did that the other week - found a very decomposed Pigeon.... There are times when I am glad I can't see I tell you :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

No socks on Sundays - are you "wee frees"? ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

No, I just live in a local village for local people ;) Throughout history invaders were very afraid when they came here. You should see what the Normans built.

Never mind the sox. I love the picture. Love to hear you play some Bluegrass.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

" found a very decomposed Pigeon " WTF!!!!!:shocked:
Please don`t ever tell me how that got there Mr T! :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I hope it was the cat that bought it in :)

I had been turning the mattress when it needed it but not spotted the bird - Natalie smelt something funny so we investigated ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's some classy threads.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just found a bug I've been looking for for hours on a site I am upgrading for work.

The site uses a PHP script with Ajax to return an array of dates. Couldn't get this working in IE (although the PHP was returning dates properly, and the code for processing them was correct). The problem? The data sent back to the browser's Javascript interpreter included the word "Return". "Return", when used in the way my code had to to access the returned data is a reserved word in IE, so is not available. IE did not tell me this..

Anyhow, once I worked this out, it was easy to force IE to change the word in the data to another (not return). Lo, and behold, the page works now. Just needs a little tidying and a lot of testing.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Curiously, I understood the jist of those two posts; even though I couldn't actually do what they were doing :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I saw PITA and went to the kebab shop;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Dilli's pigeon with extra hot chilli... nom nom nom

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Wehey, back online after having no Internet for 4 days. Engineer came out Monday and replaced both the OR Modem and the hub, everything was working when he left. I went out and came back at 4:30 that afternoon, hub displays a solid orange power light. Tried a restart, power down etc, no dice, engineer turns up this morning, manages to get it working, but then it drops the wireless so I restart it. Same thing again, so luckily he bought another hub in from the van, which I connected up and so far so good

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Glad to hear it MG.:tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You should get yourself a mobile broadband pay as you go dongle for the times you can't get online, they work a treat if you have signal.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just got ORCA (Screen reader) working on my Pi, not that makes my Pi the smallest accessible pc I've got ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well played dilli. How's your foot doing?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am going back in on Wednesday, expecting to be put back in a cast (fortnightly) for a couple of months again but we shall see :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well we'll be praying for you :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thank you :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Job security for another three years, after nearly a year on rolling contracts of just a couple of months each, some of them part-time. My current contract was to expire in two weeks time.

Woot!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thats great news to hear.:tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice one Dan

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations Daniel, pleased to hear that :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well, I could have explained in detail what I was doing, but

1. It would make the post long and boring.
2. It would take the post off topic.

My happy thought.....

See this is why I get confused with Linux.... All I did was use synaptic to install a screensaver on my Pi... Now when u start it up it's using the gnome desktop environment - nice for sure but I have no idea why that happened.

Still a happy thought as I prefer it better than the default one.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just had my Liverpool Philharmonic whats-on email: The Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band are on June 17th

Bagsy getting in the mosh pit for this!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just arrived down in Newquay today for a 5 day holiday with 5 other members of the family and our day out tomorrow involves going on a steam train.:hyper::hyper:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Excellent :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Enjoy your break :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Lol @ Mosh pit.....:D
HeadBanging to the Floral Dance! :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nice. Never been on one myself; that I can remember anyway.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Steam train Carl? I assume that was what you meant. An old friend of mine worked in the Loco Shed on The Watercress Line. We went there for a day trip about 7 years ago. He was employed there before we met and I met a few of his old colleagues (partners in crime, allegedly). Although he was quite infirm by then, we were allowed in the cab and shovelled some coal into the firebox. Absolutely an amazing day and sadly one of the last times I saw him. Really a must to do before you go.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a lovely time Den weather forecast is good.:cool: Spect the train will stop at Par or St Austell no? Take a couple of photos won't you? :):)
