The Good News thread

Mr Benevolent

Any good news you hear, read or see, be it national or international, post it here!

It has to be genuine good news (i.e, not 'Killer jailed for life for doing horrible stuff', 'Mary Harney dies in tragic blimp accident', 'Cowen found dead - experts claim it was 'justified suicide' '.)

Uh, unfortunately I can't find any good national or international news at the moment but hopefully someone will find some soon. Personal good news is good too.

She's out already,and we're meeting up in Dublin this week. It'll be the first time I've seen her since the end of the Leaving Cert in June! Can't wait.

DazMarz

Doesn't affect me in the slightest, but a friend of mine is incredibly giddy and fizzy (well, moreso than usual anyway) because one of his favourite bands announced a few dates in Ireland. He deserves it, cos he hasn't seen them in like 3 years or so. Won't hear the end of it, but sure anyway.

Delighted for ya, Mushy!:D

EDIT: Just found out because I have an o2 account with Blueroom (get priority tickets for gigs that are in the o2 Dublin) that he wants me to buy the tickets for them... How ironic!!!

GrahamThomas

Found out today that one of my best friends is coming over to visit me during the summer! Yeay!
