Happy thread

[Mustermark]

Bad day at work (angry thread???).

Gin and tonic in my hand, a very cool new album playing on the stereo (listening thread...) and trains trundling round my track.  Happy way to wind down.

Very happy today, we decided to sell our caravan and go back to camping in a tent, to me tent camping is the only way to go

Life's little mysteries

The barbecue, because after 2000 years working to invent ways to cook *out of the rain* on something better than a bonfire , it's for some reason better to cook outside on a bonfire in the rain and then spend a fortunate turning the outside fire back into a gas cooker with roof

The tent.. because having got as far as caves, houses and hotels its time to go back to sitting outside, then spending a fortune turning a piece of canvas into a small empire with multiple rooms, ensuite toilet and everything but an inflatable sink, connected of course to the even larger 4x4 powering said operation and providing wireless internet.

I get the feeling a lot of people missed the point, especially a festivals where you stroll past 4x4's connected up to mini-mansions that are far superior to much student accommodation we had.

I was looking at Virgin broadband prices. Noticed that new customers were getting 30mbs and a wireless router for less than I was paying for 10mbs. Phoned them up and got my package changed to the same as the new customers. They are sneaky though. They say £8.50 for the first 3 months, (saving £30.00), but then they charge you £30.00 activation fee!
Still, I'll be paying £3.00 less a month for three times the speed.

So I'm happy that I'll be paying less, but not happy that I had to find it out for myself!

Pretty happy today as I went to the doctors to get the results of my 6 monthly blood tests, everything was OK so i'm not to worried about the pains i've been getting in the guts lately, probably to many mince tarts and nuts

Great news Dave.  Must be a relief.

You'll just have to give up the tarts!
