In that case... there's also this 1. 
How about this 1 for a joke wedding gift for the bride-to-be?

Re: The Happy Thought Thread - Part 2
Well after a really vile night and morning the weather has improved tremendously and we have sunshine.At ten this morning I had to close the curtains and put on the lights because it was like twilight and I couldn't read..
Now it's gorgeous...British weather...There's nothing like it.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread - Part 2
I've been feeling aggrieved about trying to lose weight and being so rubbish lately at WW..Well this has made me laugh off at least a pound in weight.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread - Part 2
I sit next to an Asian chap at work - Muslim. Nice guy - very down to earth. Not that being Muslim and being nice are mutually exclusive - before anyone starts having a go at me. Anyway... he was asking about serious relationships and had I been in one. I dodged the questioning fairly well - years of practice. "Can I ask you a personal question?", he asks. I said he could. "Do you bat for the other side?", he tactfully asked  I confirmed I did - I've never denied it (unless the person has "love" and "hate" on his/her knuckles) but I've also never being "proud" of my sexuality to the point where I feel it needed to shout about it. Straight people don't go on marches, do they. We discussed this, and the pressures of culture, family, and religion on gay Asian men. I thought it was nice he was cool about it. Usually Muslims prefer stoning us - usually with half- house bricks. We're down there with the cloven hooved.

Its nice to know that given a chance most people are pretty liberal, this is one of the few good things to come from the PC revolution.

Just watch out for the colours, the ones in this list
http://www.food-info.net/uk/e/e100-200.htm
marked as 'synthetic' or 'azo dye' are the ones commonly quoted as possibly not good for you - and bearing in mind you are sharing what you eat ....

 All 3 listed on the pack are on that list. Looks like I could be moving on to ice cubes.

- last thing you want is an hyperactive foetus - ice cubes made with natural fruit juice will probably taste nicer, too - use tooth picks for 'handles'

Re: The Happy Thought Thread - Part 2
Hmm, will ponder both. It would be the sensible thing to do, but I'm not necessarily always sensible.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread - Part 2
I'm sad and lonely and also now beginning to get drunk, not something for this thread I hear you cry.
Whenever I feel like this I go on a bender with either a series of books or a series of TV programs. In the past I have read the entire Memory, Sorrow & Thorn Series in a matter of a couple of days, Read the entire series of Discworld novels in a stupidly quick time, watched every epsiode of Red Dwarf back to back and have done the same to other series.
Today I've just finished watching the entire backlog of Family Guy episodes and the movie. Thats 37 hours of family guy in just over two days back to back. Stopping to sleep twice.
My conclusions. I know its comedy but, I'm Brian, I'm a batchelor, intelligent, drink to much, dont have much luck in matters of love and never finish what I set out to achieve.
I also worryingly have found that I want to protect Meg. Thats just wierd, shes a bleeding cartoon for gods sake. 
Now comes the point where I have to get back to reality, but first I have to weigh up and think about what I have discovered about myself. Its always odd to find what comes from escaping from reality for a couple of days, even as the hovering ghost in someone else's imagination.
Going on a Bender to this degree is just wrong but is strangely also so right, Bittersweet if you like!!!
I'm sure you all thing I am wierd, well I am
