Not trying to outdo you, but on Sunday, the dog came charging out of the woods with a huge branch in its gob and launched itself into my nether regions! My prick currently looks like a black pudding - I'll spare you the photos.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
It has been a while since some pleasantry was posted on this site.
So: A week or so ago, courtesy of my son and his wife, I was gifted with my first grandson who, if he survives the trials and tribulations that life throws at him (and if he procreates) will carry on my family name. I have two granddaughters, one who is now licensed to drive a car, has her own car and is now an apprentice in her chosen trade. The other is a tantrum disguised as a four-year-old.
Yes, I'm right chuffed am I.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Smashing news Dujon, congrats all round. It's a great if sobering experience.
I'm a bit in front of you with 8 grandchildren; eldest 35 shortly, and four great grandchildren, the youngest just eight weeks old, but you'll find it all out as time goes on. Lovely for you.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
(Mal) It is a great feeling (having grandchildren) but don't rush it, there's a bit of time left for you - I hope.
(Monty) You have no grandchildren, or no males in the mix? Either way it is a bit of a shame, I guess. Should it be the latter, then I suggest that you enjoy their company as much as I have done in the years since my first granddaughter arrived. Mind you the latest is still somewhat of a trial at times.
(TANGO) Thanks, mate. What do they call Farnworth people these days, rabbits?

I have four children - two boys, two girls. None have any interest in furthering the race and keeping the name going. Grandchildren of any gender would have been nice.Dujon wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 1:33 am(Mal) It is a great feeling (having grandchildren) but don't rush it, there's a bit of time left for you - I hope.

Re: Today I'm happy about......
Twice in the last seven days I've found money. Last Friday at Morrisons I saw a taxi driver drop a note (a fiver) and I stood over it till I called his attention. He was obviously pleased and gave me a big smile and a thanks. No fortune but a hole in his takings had he lost it. It felt good. Today, walking the dog up Bradford Road in Farnworth I saw a young woman drop a large purse out of a handbag in the base of a baby buggy. She didn't see it till I went after her and handed it to her. From her shocked expression and effusive thanks, I rather gathered her money and credit cards were in it. Again, it felt very good.

Hey! I'm even happier today. It's not often I can get a chuckle out of Mr Grumpy (aka Spotty).

I don't have an emoji that can express my admiration for such a subtle response. So I typed it instead.
