Thought this might be a thread for talking about the good things in life.
I am so happy because I just got a letter published in The Independent...
P.S. They took out my etc. after "microwaves".

Well done Thomas - next stop The Pulitzer Prize?
I wonder if any other FS'rs have ever had any other press coverage (whether for rowing or other activities)?
Could be a thread starter!

Good job Thomas, it's amazing how many stupid ignorant people there are .
And what I find more shocking is that media gives these muppets the time of day, if I say I have a forest that grows Ferrai 360's the papers would ignore me .
But if I say global warming is not happening or its just a natural thing due to Earth's elliptical orbit, or that I can contact the dead by looking at some cards and going hmm haaa Wooo, they frequently would .
Annoying world

...because my beautiful daughter turns 18 today, and I'm so proud of her. She's lovely and smart and bright and funny and just all round brilliant. (IMHO, of course).
It also means that there is one responsible adult in our house now!
