Nothing but GOOD NEWS...

Anyone out there ever heard of PRONOIA?

It's defined as the antidote to paranoia, or the suspicion that the universe is out to HELP you!

The pronoia network can best be seen at www.pronoiaresources.wordpress.com although there are plenty of other websites which cover the pronoia ethos.

Try it! It's the best fun I've had on my own for years!! And, I suspect, it could seriously alter your life and perspectives.

I'm also trying to see if I can start up a seperate thread on neeps for GOOD NEWS.

Give me your thoughts....

Grandfather reveals lottery joy

Brian Caswell told his wife the size of the win was 'mega'

A 73-year-old grandfather who scooped £25m in one of Britain's biggest lottery wins will not let the prize go to his head, he has said.

Brian Caswell and his wife Joan, 71, from Bolton, were joint winners of the Euromillions lottery jackpot.

Speaking on Tuesday, Mr Caswell said the cash would pay for a "flash car" and a trip to Rio, Brazil.

And the keen gardener said he would also hire a professional to help grow some carrots on his allotment.

A member of his local allotment society in Bolton, Mr Caswell said he had been trying to grow the vegetables on his patch of land "without success".

"I've followed every instruction in the book and never had any success," he said.

"What I'm going to do now is bring a professional in and say, right, sort that out."

i bet they wont be bothering with the allotment anymore

Bit unhappy about the 'flash car' and the trip to Rio though.

But what would I do with the cash? (Hypothetical - being a Quaker, I don't do the lottery - it's anti-socialist - collecting money from many to give to the few!   )

I would be tempted to travel to South America, but the only affordable way is by plane, (please tell me if this is not the case!)...  I'd be too conscious of contributing to the destruction of much of what I would be going to see.

What would YOU do with the cash??

Give large lumps to each of the kids and set up trust funds for grandchildren.
Pay some muscles to do the hard work in the garden for me. I don't want anyone to take over the garden - it's my baby - but someone to do the digging and shifting would be great.
Put up a wind turbine.
Buy the field in front of the house to preserve the  view
Employ someone to this dratted parquet !!!
I'll add to this as I think of more

I'd give it to Gordon. He would have no trouble spending it, there's always something he wants.
I seldom want anything so it would be wasted on me.
I'm pretty sure that he would get a wind turbine and all kinds of machinery for his workshop.
Like Sass, I'd want to treat my girls - probably buy them each a house.
