2010 YES!!! The "I'm so happy" thread.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Hmmmm...... would David care to tell me just what is so bad about the name Margaret?

Yours inquisitively,
 Margaret Young

I hasten to qualify! Nothing wrong at all with a stand alone Margaret, it's when the "Thatcher" bit is added that frightens me

Trying to undo the damage David  
(I'm sure there's even better expressions in English to describe what I mean...   )

[Maggi Young]

I'll give you an expression in English, David:  "living dangerously" 

[Luc Gilgemyn]

Thanks Maggi, I knew I could count on you...

Ray, had she been a bloke the Welsh element would have been good for sheep jokes

Not too many jokes, sheep or otherwise, among the Welsh blokes in New Zealand at the moment.

[Kees Green]

The Welsh might not be that happy Leslie but I was not exactly enthrawled by the All Black performance.
We will be in big trouble if thats the game we bring against the boks-especially since theres no room for Guildford or Gear in the team, if Jane gets injured we are in trouble. Atleast Kahui looks in good touch.
Luckily Donnely made an alright performance otherwise the All Black squad would have been Otago less.

[Lesley Cox]

It was pretty lacklustre, wasn't it. Probably the 'boks will triumph next Saturday and I can't see the All Blacks winning the World Cup next year either. The only game I plan to go to watch, is Scotland v. Georgia, here in Dunedin. I've already ordered my vuvuzela

I believe the Dunedin City Council has budgeted for about $15,000 or maybe it was $150,000 for grass repairs each year, in view if the fact that the new Chin/Farry stadium is to be covered. Melbourne's covered stadium costs them several millions each year in turf renewal. Local architects/contractors etc don't seem to understand that grass is not a hothouse crop!

[Rogan]

Don't you just LUV Vuvuzelas, soccer wouldn't be the same without them - they could even be heard prominently during the rugby match when SA destroyed Italy on Saturday! 

[Kees Green]

What about the football, us Kiwis must love the Germans, first they destroy Aussie and then annihilate the poms-we could here them winging from here about that goal 
Seriously how can anyone say if that goal was allowed that the English could have won, I think it would have made the Germans try a bit harder.
Nothing like a good piece of banter to make us all feel happy aye-you might be able to pay me back in a fortnight 

[Lesley Cox]

I agree that the English may not have won, and certainly their public and press seem to think they played badly, but that still doesn't negate the injustice of a perfectly legitimate goal being scored, then denied because some half blind ref and sideline official missed it. Not a Fair Go at all.

Holland beat Slovakia well this morning and if the All Whites had gone on to the second round, the Dutch would no doubt have been our stumbling block too. No matter, we're very happy with their performance over all, and those who have so far come home to NZ have received heroes' welcomes.

Just a short diversion from all things sport....I'm so happy because this..

[Maggi Young]

Whooooooooo!    That's impressive..... now there's something to keep you occupied in the rainy days..... fab!
The green one is one of the smartest potting stations I've ever seen.................

[Martinr]

SShhhh, the boss thinks it's a conservatory

[angie]

No wonder you are happy...I am excited just thinking what you can put in it. Hope you let us all see pictures when they are full of plants.

[Martinr]

Angie, the answer will be Lewisias by the score

[ranunculus]

Imagine trying to compete with Ashwoods!   

Magnificent, Martin ... and I am INCREDIBLY envious.
