The Feelgood Thread

[chaps]

Think given all the anxiety of the past few weeks and the weeks to come, we need a thread to give folk a look at some of the more uplifting stories going on.

Good things happen all the time and it's as good a time as any to share stories that give you a wee buzz.

I hope in the weeks and months to come, this will be filled up with more and more good news. So I'll start with this one.

Michael Fatialofa walks unaided only 11 weeks after paralysing himself from the neck down in what was described by doctors at the times as a life altering injury.

 

Edit: Apologies for the thread title - it's a bit Bible-bashy. But it stays!

 

Now changed to the Feelgood thread as DA has asked for anything uplifting like music etc to go in here.

Genuinely thought you were going to say “is better now”. Poor foxy.

What doctor?

You'd be lucky to get by the security outside A&E at the moment unless you're leg is hanging off.

I left flowers by the point it lay decaffeinated for over a week.

Sounds like you cared a latte for the poor beast.

Appropriately named Good News Network reporting unprecedented sightings of Blue Whales in Antarctica since the IWC moratorium

Good news fact: The North Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean completely restocked with fish (and then some!) during WW2.

I'm not sure how they can factually claim this tbh....

Having watched "War of the Worlds" this Coronavirus makes it even less likely that a Martian invasion will occur or if it is did that it would be successful.
