Is there any good news?

Right so the country is screwed. We all know that.

But I am sick of hearing about it.

Rte news page today... Ireland's main headlines -- absolutely nothing positive as far as I can see.

Put down the newspaper/close the website and look out the window, the Sun is out and it's 5pm on a Friday, that's good news.

Don't feel bad, on the bright side everyone you know, love and care about will probably be dead in 50 years. Enjoy your weekend

ya lost me there now...

Little My · 03-09-2010 4:20pm

I love after hours sometimes

Yes its friday. I work weekends but I have tomorrow off for once so whoohoo!

Latchy Im glad ur enjoying the Ireland game - I don't follow football myself but if its working out well for you then good.

Sticky fingers - yep very true. Like my dad's favourite motivational motto; "There are only two things you can be sure of in life. Death and disappointment."

To all those heading to the EP hope you have a great time!

Doyler92 I love curry too.

PMcMahon - if I was pregnant that would be excellent news. We would have another immaculate conception and I could start my own religion!

...And I'm about to have one with a couple of beers. Happy days.

Yes, love still exists.
...For example, there is this chap who wanted to say a few special words to his wife:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfZMyHpmhJU

Sydneysider Kristian Anderson, 35, has been having chemotherapy since he was diagnosed with cancer in October 2009. He made the video for his wife of seven years, Rachel, as a birthday present and a thank-you for her support.

The video features cameos by New Zealand Prime Minister John Key -- since Rachel is a Kiwi -- and Hugh Jackman, who appeared in the video after Kristian asked Triple M's The Grill presenter Gus Worland for help.

Music: 'Marry Me' by Train
