The NICE thread Jun 01, 2011
Ok, to get rid of all this negativity, name something nice that happened to you today!

I'm reminiscing back to my student days by watching Dawson's Creek - what the heck happened to James Van Der Beek? (There's a name that should be in the silly name thread).

Have you eaten yet Drew?
I do a mean fish finger sandwich if you're at a loose end. I don't mind being second choice :(

Don't knock raw herring, esp with that yoghurty sauce the Polish like to serve it up with - yum yum yum!

Qsaw te most amazing thing yesterday, was out with some friends wakeboarding in Abu Dhabi and as we came back in an entire school of dolphins decided to pay us a visit. Must have been about 10 in total, coming right up to the boat, didn't mind us being in the water with them and were actually playing about. One was really funny, lying on his back with bith pectoral fins in the air, mouth open, being a total show-off.

You can't pay to see things like that! Just amazing. :D

A pickled roll mop is the nearest I've been to a raw herring which is nice with a fresh salad, but I find them at their best when smoked and fried with a little butter.

:lol:

I disagree Mahmoud, about 9 months is a nice age, then they should be put in a box and brought out again at about age 18. Children are vastly over rated. I'd rather have a BMW.

Only if it had a top of the range sound system to drown it out. (And a child safety seat with the British Kite mark to prove I was a jolly good mother).

Hi,

I spoke to my pops last night who's back in UK. I miss him loads. Had a nice warm fuzzy feeling after, but tinged with sadness

You sound like a veteran Chocs. I used to think it was an old wive's tale.
