I also went to this. It was most excellent (Particulary after the intensely annoying and clueless Broncos fan behind me had his smugness turned into a foot stomping rage quit near the end - and that was only when they were tied.)

I was at the game as well and the people in the row next to us sound very like the ones Mr Dave is describing , you wernt in section 217 were you ?

I also had haggis for dinner tonight which is a definite yah !

Please refrain from teabagging the airblades

It's a huge side-by-side, but only 63cm deep. All the others are at least 73cm deep, too tall, lacking in volume, have an ice-maker, or don't have boxes in the freezer or enough shelves in the fridge and/or freezer.

Imagine if you just put the food inside and it looks like a junk as it seem.

That was in February!

I thought you had Bobbyachoo disease.

(and still a good wodge to go into savings), here we come!

Also, I've quit smoking, six days strong, cold turkey. Difference is, I actually want to quit smoking this time and genuinely don't think I'll smoke again.

Balls to that! I've heard mouth-melting horror stories!

The hazard needs to be suitably obvious before you "spot" it. Stupid, but there you go.

Jens mum gets out of hospital today after two weeks

when I finish today I am driving home to get Jen and Willow and we are going through to Fife 'til Monday. Yay

I've just eaten a cinnamon whirl!

My 'Yay' today is that I've just made the annual order from ThinkGeek that I allow myself (I like to order a load of stuff at once seeing as the shipping is so much).

This time I've gone for an 8-bit style wrist watch, a t-shirt of an aeroplane dropping Tetris bricks from the sky, a Rubiks Magic (I've been after one of these for ages, couldn't believe it when I saw TG had them) and a Star Trek Pizza Cutter for a friend's birthday.

There's always loads of stuff on there that I want, but I've never placed an order thanks to their shipping costs putting me off. Have you not been caught out by import duty in the past?

The last two mockups I've sent to people for work have come back with absolutely no complaints or wishes for things to be changed. This is most excellent compared to the usual.

It's better to have many containers which are safe to use in the refrigerator. It is not just that but also it will help for racking the food inside it.

Huzzah! I just passed my driving theory test! 100% on the multiple choice, about 70% on the hazard perception. I'm blaming my lower score in the HP section the poor quality of the videos. Chinny would have been gnashing his teeth and tearing at his clothes at the poor exposure, somewhat washed out colours ans occasional blurry-ness. But anyway, Yay!

So, Yay! I have a new job!I get to leave current law firm hellhole and go back in house and enjoy my job again, without worring about targets, marketing, schmoozing and business development. The only downer is I can't hand my notice in until I've had all the paperwork from the new employer, and that may be a week or two as they have to run everything through head office in An Other Country.

My "Yay" for the day is the abatement of the Zardoz Death Lurgy. While I still can't breathe or swallow overly easily, I'm not in pain with even the mildest of quick movements. Bloody Zardoz.

Which was mild and then got better, and then I got something about as vile as the licking lurgy you gave everyone back in February shortly after playing Gears with you. Fortunately, I didn't get Bobbys arse disease. My self, and everyone in the same room, are very pleased about this.

I got some "yay" news yesterday that totally negates the "boo" news I got on Halo Night. I won't go into details because of its personal nature (they found my rapist), but suffice to say, "yay"! Also, I've quit smoking, six days strong, cold turkey. Difference is, I actually want to quit smoking this time and genuinely don't think I'll smoke again.

Huzzah indeed, Mr. Squirt. My personal belief is that the HP test, at least in it's existing form, is bullshit. Specifically money-making bullshit, since lots of people fail it and then have to pay to take the test all over again. My 'Yay' today is that I've just made the annual order from ThinkGeek that I allow myself (I like to order a load of stuff at once seeing as the shipping is so much). This time I've gone for an 8-bit style wrist watch, a t-shirt of an aeroplane dropping Tetris bricks from the sky, a Rubiks Magic (I've been after one of these for ages, couldn't believe it when I saw TG had them) and a Star Trek Pizza Cutter for a friend's birthday. This pleases me.

There's a trick you need to know for the HP test. don't click too soon. The timing window opens too late for people with video game reactions. The hazard needs to be suitably obvious before you "spot" it. Stupid, but there you go. Anyway, well done, it's in the bag now

It's a test to judge your alertness to potential danger whilst out driving that punishes you for spotting potential danger too soon. Bah! Anyway, this is the yay thread, so 'Yay!'.

Huzzah for jobs! Huzzah for mums getting better! I'm pretty certain I "pre-perceived" a few of the hazards ( as well as utterly bodging one ). I'd like to see the research they did that proves the correlation between a pass on the HP part and safer driving and hazard spotting on the road.
