Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
A battery operated xmas light decoration decided to leak battery acid (overnight) onto our 20+ year old solid tudor oak coffee table and made a right mess of it. The table itself at the time was about £300+ and we have a matching corner TV unit which was really expensive, both can not be replaced now.
The happy part is that we googled a french polisher in the local area (on a Sunday), and as luck has it he lives about 5 doors away from us which is really bizarre. So he came round, said he'll do it a couple of days after xmas, strip / sand the top down and redo it all for £45. So 20+ years of wear and tear (and 1 small burn) and the large acid burn will hopefully be sorted. Well chuffed. But mainly a major panic situation is over. |

Had my nephew stay over last night, sister and niece were watch JLS, and mu BIL was watching the darts with his friends.
I picked him up in the morning went up the town and bought Minecraft to play on the 360, what he didn't know was I bought two, one for me to play on Saturday night, the other is his Christmas day to play on the xbox he doesn't know he getting :D He also said something that made me go all warm inside, he said that he was shy around his other uncle (my brother in-laws brother in-law). ---------- Post added at 18:49 ---------- Previous post was at 18:44 ---------- Quote:

Sensei Osem Jnr has literally just been awarded his 2nd Dan Black Belt!!! I can't tell you how hard he's worked and how dedicated he's been since he started training when he was 11 years old. When presenting him his certificate his Sensei (a former English champion) said he'd not only comfortably satisfied all the technical aspects required but has also become a first class instructor and fully deserved his award. To say we are proud of him would be an understatement! :D
Drinks and celebrations tonight methinks! :drunk: :drunk: :drunk: |
Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
That's wonderful Osem and you have a son you should be very proud of.
