Good news thread
What with all the doom & gloom on the sporting front, revelations about ancient kiddy-fiddlers, bent journos, coppers and other people in positions of authority covering up/suppressing scandalous events of various kinds, religious cranks running amok all over the middle east, and never ending stories of chavs & bogans doing what chavs and bogans do .......
a chance to share things that have brightened your day and lifted the spirits

My son is 23 today, and he has just graduated with first class honours in electronic engineering. He's got about a month off before embarking on his PhD ...... looks like he may become a real boffin .
Since he's the first in my immediate family to even attend university, let alone graduate - I can't express just how proud I am as a parent.

Please, please, please don't let this woof him!!!

Well done. It all bodes well for the future.
(he should be able to afford to put you into a decent nursing home when the time comes)
Re: Good news thread
my mum turned 88 yesterday....which is peculiar given I am 2 millennia older than her ...but let that rest...my mum has been through all manner of trying events but remains an avid learner - she is a pest at U3A and still has that ability to drive me bonkers

Congrats but wouldn't he get more money quicker in the private sector or is boffinhood a decent earner nowadays?

Congrats I know how you feel. My youngest finished his B.Com Hounours with distinction last year. My eldest has a B.Com in logistics.

I fly overseas for the start of a five-week holiday in America and Europe tomorrow.
First stop San Francisco. The highlight of the trip is my cousin's wedding in Copenhagen. She's marrying a hot Danish doctor - it's Mary and Frederick Mk II.
Her brother is also getting married later this year and I will be in the bridal party. I'm a sucker for a good wedding!

I can't go that far. I'm dealing with the Israelis nowadays. But the good news is that they love me and probably want my babies.
