Hey guys.

In one of my old forums I was a member of (not existing anymore since this year), we had a thread where everybody just told in short what made them happy this day. Thought it would be nice for here too! slight_smile

 

To start: I'm working for EMS and my first call today was am expected birth. So we hoped we would be able to bring her into hospital just in time. But it didn't work. I was at the patient and she just said "it's coming"... My team-mate was driving REALLY fast, it took him about an kilometer to brake - during that time the baby was just born. Even we were a really young team and not long into job, we did VERY well and even the doctors told us we did excellent.

 

(Our last call was a reanimation on the street, the woman did not get an own circulation again.... But I guess that's the circle of life :D)

I may be biased but I feel London’s firework display kicks all other display’s butts 👌🏼

I agree with that. A superb show. One of the best I've seen....

My only gripe was the choice of music chosen for the firework display.

Not as good this year as I have heard during the past 3 years...

We did watch and enjoy the London fireworks on TV, like others though, not a fan of the music selection.

 

2019 here we come - whatever you bring! smiling

All that money which could have helped the homeless, gone in a puff of smoke. For what....

The display cost £3 million. £1million of that was paid for by ticket sales and concession income. 

It's estimated that ticketholders who came to London to attend the fireworks brought an economic benefit of £6.5 million to the city.

 

Whilst I admire the sentiment 'it could have gone to the homeless'. It wouldn't.

The NHS is still waiting for it's £350 million if we voted to leave the EU...

On the topic of EU and the firework show in Londond earlier this morning... did anyone associate the blue London Eye and the starbursts around it with the flag of the EU? 

 

I heard the bit about London being open for business, but missed the golden stars round the blue ring bit.

Gotta admit, I did think it looked like the EU flag, nice fireworks but definitely an event aimed at luvving up to the EU.

Confirmed by the mayor himself later on.

Thankyou @viridis for that pic. On the news prior to the show, someone involved with set up of the display stated it would have an EU theme. I thought maybe he meant the music or something and really didn’t get how the theme was put across, till you showed that image. 😄 Doh!
