I only have one day at work this week - Monday :D
Then I'm off from Tuesday, until the following Wednesday :D
At nearly 200 pages long, its about time we closed this one and started a new thread :)
200? :erm: How low have you set your User CP option for the number of posts per page?
Well it's about time.In the time it's taken for The Happy Thoughts Thread mark 1 to get to 200 pages the moans thread has been reset three times.:D
My happy thought is knowing i'm still off work for another week yet:D
House hunting tomorrow too....:disturbd:

Forum default is 15 that's what i have mine set to.

I must say I'm surprised, I would have thought the only reason to want to use less than the maximum would be if people were on a slow/dial-up connection. :confused:

Doesn't matter how many pages, it still has the same amount of posts in, and threads with lots of posts in cause high server loads when processing :)

I have mine set to maximum so get fewer page loads ;-)
Happy thought, Although sky bb could not deliver a modem to me, just rigged up claires laptop to the phone point in the kitchen and set-up a ad-hoc network to my pc in the front room so I have internet again. woo hoo.

I would have thought the server load depended on the number of users multiplied by their posts-per-thread settings [+ a few other variables]
I have mine set to maximum so get fewer page loads ;-)
Exactly. Firefox's memory load seems to increase by roughly 1MB per page load [at least on my system, & still did it when I tried it in safe mode, so it can't be an extension causing it].

Sorry, I did think to add where I got them, but by then it had already been over the 3hr editing limit since I posted it.
Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis, Firefly, & RoboCop were all from ChoicesUK (http://www.choicesuk.com/), whereas Serenity I ordered from Amazon.
Happy thought: beating my personal best on the treadmill... by double the time, & more than double the distance. :disturbd: I may be a bit sore tomorrow, but at least I now know I'm not as far from acheiving my daily goal as I thought I was.
It's 2:24AM, I'm drinking ice cold Irn-Bru, I'm a happy man!
Got myself an MP3 player..a Sony one with all sorts of warnings about not using a personally constructed PC :confused: and not letting windows format the flash drive and not leaving it attached in standby mode because the battery will be flat afterwards...I'm wondering if I maybe over optimistic about posting in this thread..:erm:

well done on the running.
oh could you pm me your experence of this company please, when you get your DVDs?
cheers

well done on the running.
Thanks. Going from an average of 25 mins to an hour in 1 "jump", as it were, has left me a little sore, but not too bad. I have to confess it's not running, more like a brisk walk. Whilst an hour is my time target, I'm still not at my distance target - last night was only 4.1k, as opposed to my target of 6.5k.
oh could you pm me your experence of this company please, when you get your DVDs?
No need to PM, have dealt with them before. They used to be called ChoicesDirect, & are the online equivalent of their Choices Video stores. Not had any probs that I can think of.

After a saga my sky broadband modem has been delivered, navigated through a shocking set-up and bespoke software (why can they not provide a proper firmware for those that know how to set things up).
Best part is was expecting a poor 512k but have 1.5meg , woo hoo ;-)
I am crossing my fingers that when my neighbour returns from shopping at asda - she shall have bought me Saw 2 + Saw 3 :angel:
I'm actually looking forward to going to the doctors, hopefully on friday, though if I get much more pains I shall have to call one out soon... :(
gawd I am ill aren't I - not going to asda / shopping
Hope you are feeling better soon and that it is nothing too serious
thanks Jules! I have the laptop on the bed to keep me amused at least :)

I'm back home after 3 days away for work - how nice it will be to sleep in my own bed! :D
Why is it that all the other delegates in rooms near mine couldn't find their way back to their rooms before 3.30 am - and took about half an hour to get into their rooms? :beer: :drunk:

Got my V+ box installed today (ordered on Monday) - excellent.
Feature rich, easy to use, and the remote/EPG are well designed (imho).
Tonight, at 9:00pm, I will be recording two programmes on the V+ box, using the third tuner to record another programme on my HD recorder, and watching a programme on terrestial; isn't technology wonderful? :D

I'm back from Norway :) That's not my happy thought it's actually a sad thought...
I'm just happy cos i had a fantastic time there, it's so beautiful and the people i met were extremely nice and more than willing to try and teach me a few words of their language :D
Also, there is the small thing concerning finally meeting someone i think is lovely...:blush:

I'd love to get away for a couple of days, even with work.
Might happen soon. I have to go on a course run by Apple, and I don't know if it's at their offices in Ireland. If it is, my boss should hopefully spring for some bed and board. Sadly, I think it's in London. I don't have the details here, as they are at work.

Three of them were for the boss (sorry, darling wife) - the other (Heroes) was being recorded for me :D

Found out on Tuesday that I didn't get one of the jobs I had been after (five interviews over a 4 month period :disturbd: ), but my family and friends have all rallied round with supportive calls and hugs, so dusting myself off, cheering myself up, and once more into the fray.
Friends and family are what's important, everything else is just window dressing (imho).

Agreed - read it on holiday; it's a cracking read, sort of like "Band of Brothers", but with the scenario of a world infestation of zombies. :disturbd:

Husband went off earlier as happy as a lark because someone had won tickets to the Pompey v Chelsea match this afternoon and invited him along...
Means me and my son get a football free afternoon and Hubby isn't so miffed about losing the Sky sports channel.:)
We're coming to the end of the "redemption period" for the mortgage we took out 3 years ago, so went to have a review with our current provider this morning... one hour later and he had showed us how, thanks to the equity we've built up, we can reduce the term by 7½ years, thereby saving almost £75,000 over the full term.
That has made me smile a lot all day :)

excellent news :tu: - that is a very big mortgage, though, think ours is about a quarter of that ;)
My mortgage was for £9000...and I had an endowment mortgage..had about £7000 left over after paying it off.:D
I was depressed when he told us how little of the mortgage we'd paid off during the past 3 years... so this overall saving made me feel a lot better.
We had the option of paying less each month or shortening the term. We originally took out the loan based on just my salary - as my missus was only working part time - whereas now she's working full time. Which means we can luckily afford to go from a 30-year mortgage (minus the 3 years already paid) to a 20-year one... hence the saving.
Wouldn't have been possible at all if the housing market had crashed, so let's hope prices continue to rise a bit longer ;)
No more of those wretched Sky Adverts :hyper:

My car broke down today! :(
Why is that good news? Because it was showing all the signs of Tesco petrol poisoning, and my mechanic was having difficulty in locating the part it would have needed. On inspection it turns out to be the coil!
(Mind you if it had been the other problem, Tesco had agreed to pay for a hire car as I have to have a car for my job - so it's not quite good news!)

Been meaning to clean the dust out of my CPU's heatsink for over a week. Just got round to doing it & knocked 10°C off the temperature. :)
Good thing to do Alien :tu:
I often do it on my case fans too with those cotton wool bud's.
Really helps to lower the temperature.

Yeah, I do it every now & then, but thankfully my current case has a filter for the front intake fan, so don't need to do the heatsink as often as I had to with the last case.
I usually unscrew the fan from the heatsink and hoover off the dust tbh
With my current CPU fan (http://www.dansdata.com/tmdfan.htm) I don't need to remove it to get at the dust. As the dust mostly tends to accumulate on top of the fins of my heatsink, rather than between them, I used a screwdriver to carefully hook out the larger clumps, then just blasted the rest out with a foot pump [used my hand to pump it though] & some little plastic nozzle adapter thing that came with it [got no other use for it as the pump fits my bike's tires just fine without it].

Just came home for lunch and opened the door and saw a huge thing in my back garden. We live in the city so I wondered what on earth it was.
I went outside and found a huge Pheasent trotting around the grass and behind the holly bush.
It was a beautiful site to see and as it eventually flew off, it had a massive tail and wings. Very colurful bird, and a nice thing to find in yuor garden. :tu:

Reminds me of a time (about 4 years ago) when a friend came into work all excited because she'd seen a strange rodent-like creature in her garden. After a lot of googling, we came to the conclusion that she thought she saw a capybara (http://www.solutions-site.org/exhibits/images/capibara_5.jpg). The problem is that she lived in Catford, SE london. You don't get many exotic rodents in SE london. Rats, yes.

when living in London a couple of years back saw a badger running around in Belsize Park.
Just finished the third of three telephone interviews (Thursday, Friday, and today) for a contract Project Manager's position with the Wealth Management arm of a well-known bank. :hyper:
I must have been reasonably adequate, because I have been told that I have a face-to-face interview :blah: with the big boss tomorrow in the City, at 12:15 (doesn't leave me much time to prepare, but what the hey!). :Yes:
Here's hoping.....
Just came home for lunch and opened the door and saw a huge thing in my back garden. We live in the city so I wondered what on earth it was.
I went outside and found a huge Pheasent trotting around the grass and behind the holly bush.
It was a beautiful site to see and as it eventually flew off, it had a massive tail and wings. Very colurful bird, and a nice thing to find in yuor garden. :tu:
I wonder where it escaped from? :erm:

Oh, come on, it's not like Luton's entirely devoid of wildlife. Ok, so it has plenty, but I'm referring to the non-human variety. :p: There used to be plenty of ducks/geese/whatever [hey, it's been a few years since I lived in Luton, 21 actually] in that park next to the A6 (http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=51.89304,-0.418575&spn=0.00249,0.010815&t=h&om=1), near Bath Road swimming pool [at least, there used be a pool there, again, long time since I was there].

hmm, I haven't been there (Wardown Park btw ;)) since carnival a couple of years ago - but there may have been a couple of white birds around... :rolleyes: dunno what they were doing there! there's not much wildlife, and I just heard on the news that locals in 'mid-beds' (i.e. the countryside around all the towns like Luton and Bedford) are opposing the building of a new Centre Parcs! :Yikes: noooooo! that would be so ace! :confused: Bath Road pool is still open, amazingly. They are still talking about where to put a new pool. I bet that was being discussed when you were here last!? ps. do you recall anything of Clophill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clophill_Church), and in particular St Marys old church (http://bonowannabe.ghostlygateway.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=419.msg6290)? I've been reading up on it...
well I have a couple of unexpected days off..nice to have the break.:)
Any one heard how Foreverwar got on?
Just got back from Laaaandan.......
:woot:
Wooo hoooooo!:dmonk:
Six month contract, with potential for another six months after that. :hyper:
Start on Friday (in Glasgow City Centre, and probably 4-5 days a week up there after that, but I'll be home week-ends).
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!:cleader:
I would like to thank everyone on the CF:hugs: for the encouragement, the discussions, and the good humour (mostly) - it has kept me going the last couple of months.:group:
I will (much to people's relief, I guess) not be as active on the forums, but as I will be in hotels for four nights a week, I will probably find time to visit/comment/infuriate. :D

The last time I was there you'd have been about... 7 or 8. :)

I'd have been more surprised if you said that about Bury Park. :D
Bath Road pool is still open, amazingly. They are still talking about where to put a new pool. I bet that was being discussed when you were here last!?
:erm: Not sure. I do remember it wasn't exactly "state of the art" when I used to go there - had to go with the school, they used to hire out a big [green?] double-decker to get us there.
Personally I preferred the 1 on Putteridge Road. It was a bit more up-to-date, & tended to be a bit warmer too.
ps. do you recall anything of Clophill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clophill_Church), and in particular St Marys old church (http://bonowannabe.ghostlygateway.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=419.msg6290)? I've been reading up on it...
I vaguely remember hearing something about it, but that was probably after I left Luton [when I heard about it I mean].
it's weird, people who live in Clophill tend to deny that there is anything weird about the place... I like it, it's a bit spooky, but then aren't most churches / graveyards? I shall continue trying to read up on it.

speaking of swimming - I can't wait to go again, wish there was somewhere more appealing in Luton! I always had a fear of the deep end at Bath Road.
Though I feel quite calm in the lagoon (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=hurghada&sll=53.098145,-2.443696&sspn=12.285107,29.619141&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=27.209483,33.846774&spn=0.002218,0.005375&t=h&om=1) http://www.sunrisehotels-egypt.com/images/thumb/RH16.jpg at the hotel we go to in Hurghada
- until I realise how deep in the water I actually am!? https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2007/03/12.gif
anyways, my happy thought of the day is.. only 8 weeks til holiday! :D
I can't wait to go again, wish there was somewhere more appealing in Luton!
Putteridge Road? I think it's called the Putteridge Centre, at least it was the last time I went, but that's not saying much considering the time-frame. At least the building still looks similarly shaped (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=putteridge+road+luton&sll=51.89304,-0.420763&sspn=0.00249,0.010815&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=51.905374,-0.381973&spn=0.001244,0.005407&t=h&om=1) to what I remember.
I always had a fear of the deep end at Bath Road.
I must admit I did prefer the shallow end [actually I preferred to sneak into the kids pool next door if the teachers weren't looking, as it was warmer :)], but the thing that really put me off was the diving board. I've never been a fan of heights - took 1 look at the top board & said "sod that!". :Yikes: I remember I used the bouncy 1 once, though only when it was mounted at the side of the pool [as opposed to on the lowest fixed board, which I do recall seeing it mounted on at least once].
Hurghada
I hear there's a cream you can get for that these days. :p:
Finding out that after chainsawing my way through mountains of red tape and hours of being kept on hold, the Inland Revenue have finally agreed to restart my claim for Working Tax Credits after they cancelled them back in Jabuary after they messed up my paperwork :tu:
my happy thought for today is: the sun is shining, everything seems more manageable when the sun is shining! I am seeing a flat tonight, and have heard from friends it is lovely! so I will be deserting lufty (daddy) and branching out on my own!
My new motto is to find at least one positive thing in each day, no matter how bad the day has been

After getting my bits frozen off at the football yesterday I went to a comedy/magic night with Jerry Sadowitz as part of the Glasgow comedy festival.
In between the jokes, normal astounding tricks and abuse he performed the most amazing trick I've ever seen and I've absolutely no idea how he managed it.
He got someone to count cards off a deck and hold 6 in their hands and tightly close the hands around the cards. He then tapped their hands and got them to count out the cards again and this time they had 8.
Absolutely amazing and a top night. It more than made up for freezing half to death.

Had my appraisal today at work.
As of Monday, I shall be Acting Team Leader/Supervisor.
However, as TPTB couldn't decide between me & another workmate, it's only for three months, & then he'll have it for three months. Then [cue Star Trek Fight Music], depending on how well we both performed, the proper non-acting job will go to either one, both*, or neither of us [* they may split the team in two]

Was just on the phone to VM to pay my bill, & asked if there were any V+ offers on at the moment, but apparently there aren't. Then I remembered something a friend had told me, about the possibility of getting some sort of discount because I have STB, phone, & internet with them. I mentioned this to the guy, & at first he said he could do that, but it would mean dropping to the lowest broadband speed. Then he found some other info that said he could give me a discount of £10.50/month without me having to lose or reduce anything, which means I can have a V+ and be paying 50p/month less than what I am now. They're coming to install it on the 12th April. :D

Dunno whether this should be altogether a 'happy thought', but I had the first 'proper' go in our new car, today - unfortunately it was to take Mrs Gaz to Manchester airport for an Easter break in Portugal. So I'm 'homealone' for a week....
However, focusing on the 'happy' side, Its a Honda Civic 1.8 Vtec & drives extremely well - I chose the A616 route to Manc, 'cos of the mix of motorway & twisty bits & I was very impressed. :cool:
Cool sounds good... well not the being home alone part, but I am sure you will survive.

Might as well upload a quick picture of puddles who jumped on Claire yesterday and 'melted' across her.
Very cute. My kitten refuses to sit still long enough to have its picture taken, hes currently practicing tree climbing in my garden.
agh trees! the cat that presently resides with us likes climbing, then howling like she's stuck. but really she's just going 'look at me!' - I learnt the hard way - she WILL come down on her own when she feels like it... git! all cats are sooo cute though. :D

Got my lovely new black V+ box. :D

I set off to collect Mrs Gaz from Birmingham airport at 11.30 - and we were back by 16.00 - helped by the plane landing early, so she was at the pick up point, rather than messing with car parks....
Lovely day for a drive, gorse & hawthorn trees flowering, for example - I can now cast a clout 'cos the may is out ;)
Saw an old school friend on the train the other day. Apparently, she has moved into a house just a couple of streets away from me. :D Hopefully will see her more.
Finished watching stuff I'd recorded on tape, so now I can just use my lovely V+. No more crappy VHS! [compared to V+ recording quality anyway] Download Failed (1)

Nice. I've only managed half that, but at least I haven't put it back on [yet].
Had a great time hanging out in the woods with a bunch of young men and teenage boys spraying white stuff at each other.
Also tightened the clamp on my exhaust's back box so no more whistling as I go down the motorway :)
Great weekend.

I most certainly didn't mean paintball! Blurgh lycra wearing plumbers the lot of them.
Thankfully there were none on site so my GF and I did the catering, lovely aromat frosted burgers for everyone.
Ok, now I've made myself hungry.
Was a great day :)

I hoped that was what he meant, which is why I suggested he rephrase it. :D

If you go down to the woods to day you'd better go in disguise.
I'm not quite sure that the teddy bears will have been expecting you to bring your spud gun with you Xaccers:D

That's not all that they weren't expecting.
