Canadian Grand Prix, 24 Hours of Le Mans, an empty house and a TV. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I've got the day of work and plenty of beers at the ready :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Plus that collection of personal dvd's you keep in your room.;):D:p:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

F1 season reviews? Yep. ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

My Germany home & away football shirt turned up in time for the world cup and so did my Germany flag.

The printing of my surname on the back of the shirt was worth the extra money :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

your gonna be well liked down your street then lol

remember what happened to Mr and Mrs Mussolini lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

lol yeah i'm sure they will have something to say when I stick it in my front window:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

A brick will proberly be less verbal :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Which is why my Holland flag is draped over the fireplace, rather than in the window :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Damn and here is me thinking it would be okay to be proud to fly my flag......now I know how all those Sun readers feel haha

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Bloody immigrants. Coming over here and hanging their flags over their fireplaces. :D

I'm very patriotic but I find all this flags in the cars stuff a bit tacky. Not in homes though. Dunno why. Still if people are happy, good luck to them.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

To be honest, we've only got one because family members sent it to us during Euro 2008. Hanging it over the fireplace just felt like the right amount of sillieness for getting in the mood for the world cup :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm English I have learnt not to get in the mood for World Cups. I am marginally more excited now than last week.

I do have a St. George's flag somewhere. I'll probably put it up for match days.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

With all the neighbours covering their cars and houses (literally in some cases) with England flags, I can see one from damn near anywhere in the house. Saves me the bother of buying my own!




(Not that I'm interested in football anyway)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

People where I live have went way over the top with the flags which is interesting in it's own way, shame that when you mention the flag to them in passing they always seem to come out with the same statement:- "I'm not racist but..."

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

It is sad that people have to assume that a question about them flying the Flag of St George is somehow racist when it is actually their countries flag, if I was a football fan i would have no qualms about flying the flag at all.

THey should be proud of their flag and should not feel the need to make excuses.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I Love football. I love the world cup.

In particular I love watching Really good Brazilians (the subjects football, in case MLM happens on this thread)

I am Scottish, I have an English surname (very Yorkshire).

My Grandfather, who I was called after, was born in Philadelphia, USA.

I spent 2 years of my life in Tasmania, Australia.(mainly playing football), where my eldest sis still lives

I love Spain and although not fluent have a passable ability to converse to Spaniards in their native tongue. My 8 year old daughter attends Spanish lessons on a weekly basis and is passionate about all things Spanish.

My wife is passionate about all things Italian ( especially waiters:()

After due consideration...I've decided who I'll support in this World Cup..

My decision is..... ABE :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Good luck to all the teams..



And I'm rooting for Nigeria..:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just ordered a Special Edition England Shirt With my surname and the number 1 on the back of it. The number by the way has some significance

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I have a number 2 on my shirt - but that's because of that damn cat

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I was sitting in front of my lappy adding £10 to my mobile phone, I just finished and was reading the receipt, when both my home & mobile phones rang.

It was an automated message from my credit card, checking against fraud.

Now that was a quick response, less than 30 seconds.

Well done Barclaycard :clap::clap:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Going away with my friend and our mate to her caravan in Yarmouth on Tuesday for a short break. Will do me good as I dont get to see them that often. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Have some chips on the market for me :D (Dearnos)

I'm up there on the 3rd July

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I'm happy I'm not staying in a caravan :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Well the last time I got such a call from Barclaycard they had already blocked me from paying off my CC that month and as a consequence I had to pay extra the next pigging month.And yes I was trying to pay it off earlier than I needed to so I wouldn't be caught out by the three days to clear rule.:rolleyes:

Well done indeed but I far rather they had done it with some other payment..:doh:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I am going to see Forbidden Planet (and 4 lions) at the cinema tomorrow in an attempt to cheer myself up :)

While I am looking forward to seeing both I must admit I am more excited about seeing Forbidden Planet on the big screen than I thought I would be :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Off to London next Monday afternoon for meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The one on Wednesday is the annual Google CIO Summit, which finishes just before 3pm, followed by the England vs Slovenia match on TV with, and I quote, "a full bar service". :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Masque, your sick psml my son would be distraught if he saw that pic, this is a family friendly forum :p:
frankie Id love a "dory" but unfortunately it would probably eat the corals :( As Im in at the deep end, Im currently trawling marine fish forums, hence me being so quiet on here lately

My happy thought is...I seem to have "won" a star!! :cleader: Do I receive a CF prize in the post? :p: Id like to thank my mom,my dad, the people in make-up, the director and all the people who backed me :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I always try to find a picture to suit the occasion.:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

did you search for "chopped up nemo in sushi special"? :erm: made me laugh anyway :D you are good with the pics, the Gordon Brown wavy hand one was the best :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

After 3 months in hospital after a severe stroke, my Dad has finally been discharged to a Nursing Home.

What's more it's literally 2 minutes walk from his house, so my Stepmum can visit him so easily. :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Now that is a happy thought and Im not just saying that obviously dont know you but all the best to you're Dad, cant be easy. Keep an eye on the home and make sure its a good one :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

After the death of her hubby my MIL is looking forward to moving near my SIL & we are hoping her quality of life will be helped by that - as I hope will be the case for your Dad :)

Thought the lightning storm a few nights ago had zapped my router.

Just on the off-chance I bought a new PSU off eBay and all is running nicely again. Well chuffed, that's saved me £100 that I can ill afford right now.

Probably from the Midlands ;) :rofl:

loving my 5870 GFX card. Slightly overclocked out the box and still ive never had a GFX card run so cool 33 degrees idle and 59 degrees under load and the Powercolor custom cooler that it shipped with is quiet to so bonus

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just got my Fathers' Day cards/gifts from my kids - bottle of single malt, a book, and True Blood 1st series DVD set.

<big grin>

Life is great
 

What more could a man ask for? Sitting in the back garden, enjoying this unseasonably superb weather, browsing the t'interweb with a glass of wine. Now how great is that :)

Re: Life is great
 

I match your post and up the ante by the sound of my husband clanking pots and pans, and the delicious aromas from the food he is preparing drifting across the patio to where I am sat with a glass of wine as I potter around t'interweb. :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Woot I got a Hertha BSC away shirt signed by Arne Friedrich for fathers day :D

Also a really nice football card made by my son at his pre-school class :D

Great day so far

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Thanks all... :)

Re: Life is great
 

I match both of you and raise you on the fact we've had a great BBQ, played in the pool with my boy, had a drink but not too much so Im at that stage where life is rosy and not yet got to the point about ranting about the worlds problems, Ive caught the sun and Im getting a nice natural tan AND my internet hasnt seemed to be playing up anymore :D

The birds are singing, the butterflies are out, cats asleep under a tree, rabbit is sprawled out with what looks like a smile, even my fish look happy, even better my missus seems to be in a good mood which is odd :p: :) possibly die to the fact Ive been doing a lot around the house today being off work. Now I have to put some pictures up in the kitchen but Im in that good a mood I just dont care!

Re: Life is great
 

I rejoice that there is a Happy Thought Thread to share these happy experiences in :D

Re: Life is great
 

Indeed! But before you go with the flow and merge them, let us enjoy this sunny day and share how good its been :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You can share with the rest of us here in the happy thoughts garden...:tu:

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

You dont mess about :D Quick move of threads there but with reason I suppose. My happy thought is alf and jo are happy :p:

My next happy thought is.......a morbid one but think on this...we are all still alive,have family around and to top it off will wake up tomorrow. I dont intend to sound odd but thats the way it is. Makes me cringe when I curse myself having a bad day at work when I think what other people must go through with being terminally ill etc. Puts things in to perspective I think :) I had a crap year once, mum and dad split up, grandparents died, I got heavily in to drink and the rest but somehow managed to keep a good job. Now Im as happy as can be and my little lad makes me smile everyday, the way I was he wouldnt have been born and my life would have been over, what a waste.

See you all tomorrow, with a bit of luck. Remember on your next shopping trip to tesco you could die like someone did in the morrisons near me, make the most of life, you only get one shot, sod the petty things I say ;)

I went to a customers house not long ago, last time I went was 12 months ago. I was there fixing the boiler admiring his photoshop certificates in his office when she came in all upset saying how he had died in the night a month before, she woke up to find him dead. Awful. Worst thing is I remember the guy and he was really really nice, I was upset all day and that was only a few weeks ago, since then I laugh when people are moaning about ordinary stuff.

Sorry to be so glum in a happy thread but my point is, be happy!

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Just ordered my new gfx card - XFX Radeon HD5770 XXX edition :-)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

That's the exact same one I've got in here it's really nice :)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I went out & bought one of these WD media players, today

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digi...dp_ob_title_ce

I'm really pleased with it - talk about work straight out of the box - playback of x264 files on my HDMI 1080p monitor with sound courtesy of the optical link to my Logitech Z5500 speakers was faultless.

- then, even better, it passed the 'significant other' test plugged into the downstairs HD TV, she found it really easy to use.

I can now provide files on an USB stick for her to watch, rather than messing about converting them to DVD.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

At Altitude, 29th floor of the Millbank Tower, sipping a nice glass of red and watching the England game - work, work, work, work, work......:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I missed this Cobby - I don't peep here much nowadays.
Sorry to hear your sad news - had a bit of that with my own dad. It can be a trying time for everyone.
'To visit easily' is a term I never thought I'd get to appreciate.
Slow but steady is the progress.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Those battery operated fly swatters from Poundland are great fun. Probably the maximum amount of fun you could extract from one British pound (as Tom Fun would probably say).

DON'T be tempted to put your finger between the grille to see what happens, it burns and it hurts.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

They make a satisfying crack with a flash but bluebottles are only stunned.;)

Also the residual power even minutes after switching off still stings if you touch the elements.:erm:

After months of submitting my electric can opener to repeated GBH to get it to open any can, I've given up and bought a one touch can opener..

What's the odds that the old can opener will work perfectly from now on?










Mind I also took the precaution of buying a bog standard hand operated version...;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

We won i'm so damn happy!!!

I even got a knock on the door from my neighbour (who politely but intimidatly asked me to take my German flag out of my front window) to say "congratulations and no hard feelings" :D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

Should you not have posted this in the World Cup thread HERE:D:D:D

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

reformatted a computer today for an old friend of mine from my butchery days. He paid me with 3 fresh chickens and a huge full leg of pork. I had to bone roll joint slice and dice it though but I got 3 big joints 6 meals in pork steaks and about 5 or 6 bags of diced pork. On top of that of course is the hock so all in all not a bag wage really lol

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

Cobby... babies bits and pieces are all where they should be and looking well... I probably look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards! ;)

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
 

I've no doubt you would get many volunteers to help 'hold up' any of your gravity stressed bits. :angel:

In the meantime thanks for the update - glad you & yours are fine :)
