Positively Positive Thread (No Doom No Gloom)

Positively Positive Thread (No Doom No Gloom)

With all of the Doom and Gloom in the air. I thought I would start a discussion on all the good things that are happening.
The Idea is you post something good that happened to you recently or even some story a friend has told you e.g you dropped your wallet and some one saw it happen and gave it back to you.
One story I have is a friend of mine was going away at the weekend at the last minute discovered his passport was up. A very nice girl from the passport office got it renewed last thing on Friday and met him at Clearys at 8pm on Friday night with a new one.

Loads of good things happen every day so lets hear them!!!

I will leave up to you imagination but don't forget the rule!!! NO Doom Or Gloom.

The smokes too...wahey!

I caught Derek Mooney in the back of the head with a can of beans from 30 yards yesterday.

He thanked me afterwards too!

Heading home tomorrow night for Christmas break. Looking forward to that.

MizzLolly · 14-12-2008 3:12pm

This thread is 'racist' against SDooM.

Nah, seriously, tomorrow is my last day of exams. I'm stupidly excited about having a break for a few weeks..

It's sooooooooo close now..

sidneykidney · 14-12-2008 3:31pm

I consumed a lot of drink last night,the positively postive thing to come out of that is i dont have a hangover:pac:

Kold · 14-12-2008 3:41pm

We're all going to die alone. For every human being is alone in their existence. We reach out to eachother only to be rebutted time and again. If you think about it, the concept of a loving god is absolutely absurd.
The only thing we can be absolutely sure of in this life is our guilt. For if we allow ourselves to think about it, we are all capable of making this a better world yet stew in our apathy or hide in our ignorance.
Love is a convincing delusion but all it shows is the power of our biology.

Woke up this morning and put my feet on the floor.
Delighted to exist considering the alternative, everything after that is a bonus.

You wouldn't be saying that if your feet landed on a landmine.

walshb · 14-12-2008 4:15pm

Gym membership, the greatest example of 'value for money' that we have. Almost 365 days a year available to a person to train, swim, wash, shave etc and all for under
500 Euro, or thereabouts! Less than a Euro a day; unreal!

Your maths is a bit off there mate. Go easy on the sparring/steroids.

You probably should have spend that money on maths lessons first. It works out as more than a euro a day.

Yep, was just thinking how this positive thread could in fact turn out to be very depressing and very not positive. What's it say if you have nothing to post? :eek:

dr.bollocko · 14-12-2008 5:11pm

You have to focus on something positive. For example it is close to christmas. Just be happy that you dont have my cold.
Schadenfreude wins all.

minxie · 14-12-2008 5:16pm

me am in the most fab mood as i only have 3 more nights to
work till crimbo and am in the most positive frame of mind
to wish everyone here a "very happy and jolly christmas....." :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Surely that he didnt is just more reason to be positive so!

Not really, landmines are quite expensive. It would be a shame if one didn't go off every now and again.

ChewChew · 14-12-2008 5:29pm

My best friend (Cmol) won a sun holiday for 2 (all thanks to the Boards & Lastminute.ie competition) and she's taking me!!

mikemac · 14-12-2008 6:14pm

Positive thread eh......

The politicans in FF are hugely experienced and many of the senior ministers have held many important posts.
So our current all knowing and all powerful leaders are very experienced so for my positive post, I'd say they should know what to do at the current time better then anyone

Ya can't flame me, positive thread

BroomBurner · 14-12-2008 6:15pm

It's cold outside and, thankfully, I'm indoors and cosy warm.

Also, managed to finish the Christmas shopping today

galwayrush · 14-12-2008 7:23pm

I have a new friend from Nigeria who wants to give me 30% of 40 million US dollars.:):):):):):)

RoundyMooney · 14-12-2008 7:46pm

I won a bottle of whisky last night.

Sister won six hundred quid worth of Merchant's Quay shopping vouchers.

Have a handy source of half RRP electronics items for Christmas (and myself).

I have a reduced rate LTV tracker mortgage thingy on this place, major reductions in the last six months.

Diesel and petrol are getting cheaper, as is nearly everything else.

Sweet.

Quazzie · 14-12-2008 8:04pm

I was raped last night..

The positive to come out of it is that I was really horny and I have Aids so I was happy about it

RoundyMooney · 14-12-2008 8:07pm

Dammit.

I can see why you posted it in the positively positive thread.

Not a pun , a statement of fact.

I so wanted to pun this one.:P

Given the dollar is so crap that should get you a can of coke.

From RTE

A Co Wexford girl, who was told by doctors that she would never walk again following a severe illness four years ago, walked into the arrivals hall at Dublin Airport this morning following six months of treatment in New York.

Bless.

LeahBaby · 15-12-2008 3:26pm

Last night I wrapped all my presents, which I have bought since last week. Got locked.

Awoke without a hangover with a kiss from my lovely bf.

3 days left in work till the concert of the year and a lovely relaxed well organised christmas.

Oh and I won a fiver in the lotto!

homerun_homer · 15-12-2008 3:31pm

Just after getting a bottle of wine from one of our big customer's so that's a good start to the afternoon.

Miguel_Sanchez · 15-12-2008 3:35pm

Checked the receipt from the restaurant after dinner last night and noticed they'd only charged us for 2 beers instead of 3.

Then went to a gig and had some free beers.

In conclusion: Free beers = good.

We're not in the middle of a recession, we're in the middle of a session!!!

BroomBurner · 15-12-2008 4:46pm

Oh, new positive thing happened yesterday. New "Big Shopping Centre" opened in Drogheda the other day. Bought a duck advertised for €6.99, was charged €9.99, brought it back for my 3 quid refund and got a whole tenner back!

Apparantly their system isn't yet up to understanding the refund dealio, so lots of people getting free stuff at the weekend
