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

That's wonderful Robin, and he'll love it. He may be home tomorrow. He was even hoping for today but I don't think they send people home on a Sunday, because of many staff being off duty, pharmacists, and all sorts who will need to have a part in the release. I think they only have a skeleton staff on Sundays. (Well, this IS the orthopaedic ward). Anyway, the surgeon is quite pleased with things so far, though whether the op will be successful ultimately, is yet to be seen, when the healing is complete. Apparently a lot of bone was removed and a lot of metal replaced it.

Good! I just think it's a real tonic and hope it works for Roger

I tried to use my camcorder today but it was dead and the battery would not charge. I phoned Amazon and spoke to someone in England who said it would have to go back to Sony. During the conservation the connection was cut. I phoned back and spoke to someone in Ireland who said she would give me the phone number for Sony but the connection was lost again.

Today was change over day from BT to SKY.

3rd time lucky - I spoke to a woman in Jamaica - I asked - who said after a bit of accent trouble "I will send you a new one by next day delivery delivered before noon". Happy days!

LOVED IT !  These sorts of things make one feel so good... happy!  That one is very well "orchestrated", thanks for sharing it Kristl, now to post it to my Facebook account.

Here's one that Panayoti Kelaidis posted, probably the most fun and entertaining 5-1/2 minutes in recent memory (be sure to have the volume up)

Oh, that's too bad, it's a real winner of a video.  I looked for it on YouTube but it's not there.  Drat!

It'll probably turn up on You-tube eventually... everything seems too... I'm amazed at what one can find there.....even "old " stuff that one might have thought truly lost in this electronic age!

You're right, I became a YouTube junkie once I realized I could see performances by the likes of flute-maniac-virtuoso Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull, 1976)...
OMG, this guy is crazy good, how anyone can get that much sound of a flute is beyond imagination.

[Anthony Darby]

Jethro Tull takes me back to my student days. Heigh ho. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

I could do that easily...... but not standing on one leg

That you blowing your own flute Anne?

I could not be more happy - my team has just won a derby match on the opponent's ground for the first time in 17 years - and they were 2-0 down at halftime

Thought these might amuse


1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't
much, but the reception was excellent.

2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything."

3. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted.

4. A dyslexic man walks into a bra.

5. A man walks into a bar with a slab of asphalt under his arm, and says:  "A beer please, and one for the road."

6. Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?"

7. Patient: "Doc, I can't stop singing 'The Green, Green Grass of Home?."
Doc:    "That sounds like Tom Jones Syndrome."
Patient: "Is it common?"
Doc:    "It's not unusual ..."

8. Two cows are standing next to each other in a field. Daisy says to Dolly, "I was artificially inseminated this morning."
"I don't believe you," says Dolly.
"It's true; no bull!" exclaims Daisy.

9. An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either.

10. Deja Moo: The feeling that you've heard this bull before.

11. I went to buy some camouflage pants the other day, but I couldn't find any.

12. A man woke up in a hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!" The doctor replied, "I know you can't - I've cut off your arms!"

13. I went to a seafood disco last week...and pulled a mussel.

14. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh.

15. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. One turns to the other and says "Dam!"

16. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft.  Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

17. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel, and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office, and asked them to disperse. "But why," they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, "I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

18. A woman has twins, and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt , and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

19. Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.  This made him ...

A super-calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

20. And finally, there was the person who sent twenty different puns to his friends, with the hope that at least ten of the puns would make them laugh. 
No pun in ten did.
