Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Should be good, after nearly 10 years, my digs might be given a fresh coat of paint.

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

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?

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

 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

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.

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

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

Yes, thanks - we read up on the breed's 'foibles', and we a re up for the challenge.....
