This Is The Happy Thread - ONLY!

    I've just read through 30 plus pages of the Donna Hartnett Thread, not to mention the Irish Water (which fell in monsoon levels today for free) Threads - and it seems to me there is SO MUCH bickering on all the political/economic/social type threads! That's ok, I guess, we all have our opinions and are entitled to them, but, some people are just NASTY!

    So this will be the Thread where you are only allowed to be NICE - and shower compliments on other people's posts!

    Maybe the Mods would be so good as to ban anyone who says anything NASTY, please?:):)

    I will start - I go into a certain shop every morning of the working week. The same man is usually at the checkout. He is always unresponsive and even moody. BUT TODAY - amazingly - he looked up at me, smiled and said Hello and How are You? He even talked about the weather! I was very pleased! Just nice to communicate, isn't it?!

    There's a girl working in my local coffee shop with a pretty amazing rack. I'm spending a fortune...

    Someone complained. He was forced to be nice against his will :(

    I thought the other day about the idea of a national compliments day, where you are encouraged to compliment anybody on anything - there's nice things I think about people but I feel it'd be a little odd to randomly say them. This National Compliments Day would solve that problem.

    Morrissey got it right, happy people annoy me :-) Grudging smiley

    Would it be too creepy to accidentally on purpose drop my change?

    OK but I suppose my point was to have one that people actually follow

    I work in retail. I open in the mornings but am not a morning person. However something really brightened my day today and made me really happy. A woman came in and the rain had drenched her and made her blouse stick to her moistened flesh following the contours of her fleshy orbs. Nipples like .45 caliber bullets I tells ya!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    That's more like it! :):)

    It's boring when everyone backslaps each other and gets on, I prefer people fighting.

    I love the purple elastic bands that hold bunches of asparagus together. They're way better than the blue ones you get with scallions.
    Building up a nice little collection, ooh yeah.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,316 ✭✭✭Pwindedd


    I am Happy because it's party season and I've lost a bit of weight this year and I can get back in my old dresses that I secretly kept, despite the OH telling me to get rid of them.

    You just cut the bunch in half with the bands still on, so easy. The bands then just fall off and you fcuk the stems into the steamer. Life is good right now.

    I was on the bus and 3 of the most strung out people I have seen in a while got on. The 3 tried to get on with 1 bus pass. But the bus driver stood his ground and refused to move until they paid. When they got off the bus, only got off at first because it took 2 off them 3 stops to make it down the stairs. When they got off, they called the bus driver ever curse word they could think of and every insult. The bus just looked at them and smiled. They kept getting more angry and were losing it.

    Everyone on the bus was laughing and smiling at how the bus driver could keep his cool and say nothing. But still have such an angering effect on the junkies

    It's absolutely p*ssing out of the heavens, windy as fook outside and my two dogs are curled up downstairs on their rugs while I'm tucked up in bed.
    Sometimes it's good to stop and appreciate how lucky we are :)

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus
