Today I'm happy about......

We are a Granddad.....again! My daughter delivered Max at 3am today, nine days after her expected date. Max is 9lb in weight and baby and mum both fine. Phew, that was a stressful few days for all concerned.

Congratulations Clapton is God. How many is that now?

One daughter, now three grandchildren. One girl and two boys.

Funny how you make an impression of someone on a forum like this and get them completely wrong. Congratulations again granddad.

This has been making me happy all day

Lurgy? How old are you! (I remember it well but didn't think you would )

[TANGODANCER]

Happy about everything. Beautiful day, four hours in the garden, work done, garden looking great and now having an ice-cold shandy and watching the cricket. Perfick.

The dreaded lurgi. Is it back? Not heard of it since Lord knows when.

It's now just a generic term rather than a specific. Get wid it, bro!

I'd tend to agree with Bruce if he spelt it correctly. It's "lurgi".

Regardless of the above pedantic post today I am indeed happy.

Some time ago I was deemed an unnecessary expense for the Hong Kong company for which I did service and telephone work. A month or two prior to the severance of our relationship I had been given carte blanche by the owner of the company to sell off spare parts and fully operational units and to keep the proceeds thereof. I've been prevaricating over the method of the disposal of such ever since. During the last week I had in a tradesman to quote for some work in my kitchen. This necessitated his accessing the 'manhole' which happens to be in my garage in order to access the roof space. Half of my stock is stored in the garage. He was quite taken with the splendiferous display when he saw it all and thus asked me if I'd like to sell it as a 'job lot'.

The end result of that inquiry is that I am now AUD1000 better off and there is another AUD1000 due this afternoon when he comes back to collect the other half. For those of you who don't keep up with exchange rates that's about and around GBP1300. I'm ever so happy, it'll keep me in grog and fags for at least a fortnight.

P.S.

I think my life would be marginally improved if dogs didn't exist... Shit on the pavements and parks... Barking all day when left alone locked out in back gardens... Jumping up at you when on walks, indulgent owners expecting you to approve of being 'welcomed' (FFS!)... Threatening you, snarling etc... Sniffing around kids... Pissing on the garden fence while on their shit-depositing 'walk'...

So, pleased for you and your 'gorgeous' furry boy...

You've gone way down in my estimation William! How can you not be a dog lover?

EERRMMM... See above? I don't understand the pleasure that people get from sharing their lives with them, but i'm happy to be tolerant here, provided their stupid, careless owners don't decide I should share my and my kids' lives with them as well... I reckon that's fair... I don't want to share your pet's shit, breath or bite... Keep the creature and its excreta to yourself...

Just saying, like...

I hate it when people expect you to let their dog share it's saliva with you. Don't like the dirt and everything anyway. Dog neutral, but "kissing" them is creepy.

Glad to hear it. My godmother used to let her dog kiss her lips. Freaked me out. Horrible dog too

there's a thread in that - the horrible things dog owners allow their pets to do...

I won't start it if you don't...

My cat has a particular interest in sweaty shinpads after football. That and licking eyelids to wake people up. Not a pleasent alarm clock.
