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

[Martin Baxendale]

Hope you get it, Mark.

[David Nicholson]

Sock it to 'em Mark, wishing you all the best. I'm told that's is a good company to work for with good employee share deals.

[Casalima]

Good luck, Mark!! Crossing fingers and toes!

Today I received July's The Rock Garden, with it's amazing cover and (after a quick flick) even more amazing photos inside!!
And I also received my new car!! - so now I'll have enough time to try it out before I go on holiday. And it's a car in which I can fit a good few plants, if necessary 

[Lvandelft]

I hope you get the job Mark. Good luck!

 A good day for you, Chloe! Hope you've got a nice name for your new car...... our "Verity" gets upset if she thinks folks haven't named their cars.......

I've never read nor posted in this thread, but I found this video on youtube:


I find this mix of classic and rock very, very fascinating and it really makes me happy to listen to.
Unfortunately I don't know the Bands name. The poster of the video doesn't reply so perhaps
someone here can help me?

[Casalima]

If you click on the down arrows for more info by the poster, there is a long text ending with:
"Ho scelto come accompagnamento alle immagini un brano di uno dei migliori gruppi italiani e miei concittadini: i New Trolls
Da Concerto Grosso 2007- The Seven Seasons- Future Joy ( scherzo).
Un mix di classico e rock perchè questo borgo medioevale deve la sua rinascita a quegli artisti figli del rock ed anche della cultura Hippy."
Hope to help

[Thomas Huber]

OK, that was easy, but why did I not try that myself 
Many thanks Chloe! Time for further research about this band now!

[Maggi Young]

HaHa! Chloe, I just found that too!
Google translate gives me this: "I chose to accompany the images a piece of one of the best Italian bands and my fellow citizens: New Trolls
From Concerto Grosso 2007 - The Seven Seasons-Future Joy (joke).
A mix of classical and rock why this medieval village owes its revival to those young artists of rock and even the hippie culture. "


I like the music too and it goes very well with the video of the lost village.

I made our first blackcurrant pie of the year last weekend with fruit from our allotment bushes. Scrummy - not too much sugar, to retain the exqusite tartness. Went down a treat with vanilla ice cream.

What happened to sharing I thought this was what this forum was all about.

Yes Angie, I reckon he's been quite greedy. Not even a picture, let alone a slice.

After 15 months with no job I have an interview next Friday -a Scottish company  of Garden Centres is coming to Northern Ireland

Mark, I hope this goes very well for you. It's past time some good fortune came your way on the job front. Very best wishes for the interview.

[Lesley Cox]

 A good day for you, Chloe! Hope you've got a nice name for your new car...... our "Verity" gets upset if she thinks folks haven't named their cars.......

Well "Lola" is taken.

[Lesley Cox]

Dammit! Thomas's YouTube videa link plays all right but I can't get any sound!> Everything's connected OK and the sound is turned up so....?

I can't say that it has ever occurred to me to give a name to a car    But logically the previous one would have been "Blue Period" and this one would be "Grey Period", which isn't exactly a name ...

Huh! I only got one very small slice after my married daughter and her husband turned up to help us (me, wife and two kids) scoff one shallow plate-pie almost as soon as it came out of the oven!
