Well that was the oddest morning of my life over and done with.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

The question is did you enjoy it?.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It was ok once it all got going the main thing is the kids loved it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes as long as they loved it that's the main thing and yes you certainly look very impressive in your banana suit dilli.:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just completed my first half marathon. I wanted a sub-2 hour and came in at 1 hour 56 - really happy with that :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Knowledge through entertainment is a powerful tool. Well done Mr Dilli-banana. :clap:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I want this car in the UK, but not sure if the tax comes under the 4x4 (rip off bracket), and what I will get screwed for by the insurance company, you see being single with no kids I get discriminated against those who are married with kids.

Well over 4 years £700, a Mondeo Estate £90, I think Mondeo wins ATM

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just had my time confirmed at 1:56.12 and came in 630th out of 1352 - very happy with that :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It's our Silver Anniversary today, 25 years married, cannot believe it :cleader: it has flew by :D here's to the next 25 ... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's pretty cool :tu: :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations weenie.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations Weenie, time does fly by doesn't it. I've only been married for 5 years but we've been together for about 20 years. It doesn't seem that long to us.

Hope you both enjoy your day and celebrations. :tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations Weenie. I hope you have planned a lovely celebration. Here's a little something from me.

Time certainly does fly passed at an astonishing rate. We will be celebrating our 45th Wedding Anniversary later this year and it still feels like yesterday that we first met. :)

Though John may have a different opinion. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Happy Anniversary to you both ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks everyone, went to pictures with hubby and saw Non-Stop. Later on we are going out for a meal with our two boy's ... very very good day ... :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Congratulations to you both.

Remember, marriage isn't a word, it's a sentence*.... :D


*Only joking - been married 28 years (this time).

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

It's a nice part of the country. Not been down that way myself for years.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

See den, quick and painless

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I don't have a list at all - life's too short to waste time hating or obsessing about people who probably don't even know you exist, and if they do, probably don't care....

ymmv

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

who said anything about hate or obsession?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

If you have a list, strong emotions are (probably) involved - else why feel the need for a list.....

"If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you"

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

well you do realise it was a joke in response to the post that I quoted?

There is no list Hugh however I am pleased you felt the need to post how you did in my direction :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well we are off on some mystery trip today and one wonders where they will be taking us as Mum is very reticent about where our destination is.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a good time regardless :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well our mystery destination was Windsor followed by a short trip to Eton.:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a good and enjoy your trip ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Yes the weather was beautiful and we went to quite a few shops and places in Windsor as part of the old train station is now shops and l had the surprise of suddenly seeing my sister coming out of the train station which was a big surprise to me as she said on the phone she was getting her hair done on Saturday but alas she told me a little white lie.:nono::naughty:

Yes seeing Eton was nice and you could certainly see the money that is prevalent in that part of the woods and just to cheer Gary :waving: up there were many budding Dave's :Yes: there as well.

Yes we went near Barnham last year but did not stop and as for Goodwood well we would lost to see their festival of speed sometime in the future and go to the horses as well.

Yes l love different cheeses but l am not a lover of having cheese on chips though.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Off to Whiteley this afternoon for a little shopping trip :Yes::spin::hyper: on my birthday.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have a lovely time Den. We are going to treat ourselves to a curry at Spoons today.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

There is nothing wrong with the curries at the Spoons Tink as we have tried them ourselves on occasions when we have been out for the day.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Still alive despite the front of my leaking boiler being live (apparently) must try harder next time https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2014/03/9.gif

They need to order new parts and hope it dries out enough to fit them next week.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Nightmare when anything happens to your boiler, my neighbour has just been informed by the gas board she needs radiators etc all flushed out and may cost her £600 for a full flush. Makes you wonder why we pay the £18 a month to maintenance

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Had to have a new timer installed the other year for my central heating, engineer flushed the system as part of that install. All it cost was the £50 call out charge. Not bad. Think only time British Gas has offered value for money.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well l went on a mystery trip today to Oxford and to Didcot Steam Railway and had a lovely day..:)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Don't want to jinx it, but fingers crossed about hearing from a certain company in the next couple of weeks. From what I gather, they are starting to struggle in the warehouse and work experience people aren't much use from what I pick up.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Whispering so as not to temp fate. Fingers crossed for you Mark.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

After having a particularly bad 7 days (including my previous run where I could only manage a very slow and lethargic 10 miles) I managed to pull a rabbit out of a hat and have just completed my longest ever run - 14.8 miles - at an average pace of 8.42 which is about a full minute faster than when I've done a lot less distance. At mile 11 I was even down to 8.20. I've got no idea where I found the energy and mojo for that but really pleased :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks Weenie
