Happiness is ???
 
HAPPINESS !...now there's a word to conjure with...just like ABRACADABRA ??
(Alfred.E. said that not me!!).

But ,as I predicted earlier in the day, joy appears to be in abundance on our Forum tonight...and rightly so....

Anyway, in order for anyone to put their new-found elation into words here's a cheeky little thread for that very purpose!!...

So I'll begin it!!..Here goes...Ready ??....


HAPPINESS IS :- Knowing that John Coleman, Jimmy Bell, Andrew Proctor, and our Super Team will be entering the arena on Saturday (Weather permitting?)..knowing that their futures at Accrington Stanley are safe and secure !.

Hows that for starters.....???...Your turn now!!.

I almost forgot ..
'ON STANLEY!!!...ON!...TO GREATER THINGS !!.

HAPPINESS IS :- is knowing that better things are on the way, on this windy stormy day, as Ilyas Khan saves the day.

Great Stuff!!.Didn't expect a poetic outpouring so early in the thread CR !!...perhaps this rhyming vogue might be the 'IN' thing as we go along ???.

Same here. The sleep might be that good being late for work is a possibility. Be worth it though. :D:D:D:D:D

Yep, me too, Spuggie. Still, I may be late tomorrow but I might actually get some work done instead of alternating between pensively staring out of the window and frantically surfing the net, looking for news! :D

There was a young Bear from Peru,
Who got off a bus and did'nt know what to do,
He sharply turned around,
To find himself oustide the Crown Ground

He thought I 'll have a look in here,
So wandered into the BTH Lounge & got a beer,
Sat himself down and gazed all around,
For what this young bear had found

was Eternal Happiness:)

Well at least the first two bits rhymed:cool:

Wonderful Google Page Ranking !!...don't know how Revived Red would mark it though ??..
Does your last line imply that tonight's elation is being shared by those who are..'Gone Before ' ?.....those Stanley Stalwarts who we all fondly remember with respect and gratitude....and who would have revelled in the feelings abroad tonight ??...God bless 'em all !....

Keep 'em coming !!

To the tune of 'Working Man' by Rita MacNiel:-

Its a Stanley Fan I am
And for 8 weeks at the Crown
They've been tellin fibs, and lettin' people down
Untill along came Mr Khan
With some pennies in His Hand
And He saved the Club for the People of the Town



Ok its not perfect but it is late!!.......Oh and here is the link to the original song for anyone who dosent know it:-

YouTube - Working Man sung by Rita MacNeil

Well, yonmon, to answer your question about marking this gem, I think we have found a hidden genius. The spirit of William McGonagall is alive and well in sunny Barrowford.

Happiness is:

A trip back “up north”, rediscover my roots.
Then on to the Crown where Michael Symes shoots
Whenever he can, and Bobby Grant too;
Two forwards who strike – defenders don’t have a clue
How to stop them.

A run from John Miles, superb when attacking,
Prompted by Proccy always fierce in his tackling.
Jimmy Ryan and Luke Joyce spreading passes with ease;
And behind there’s the calmness of full back Tom Lees.
How to stop them?

With Edwards and Kempson at the heart of defence
Opposing attackers are left in suspense.
At left back Dean Winnard, both cool and commanding,
And in goal Bavs or Martin for ever demanding
To stop them.

And to find pleasantries instead of a constant flow of angst and vitriol Ken !..
But stress does make us behave in the strangest ways I suppose!.

Yet again a relief of tension can have the same effect !, so I mustn't count my chickens!!.

Hope it stays fine for weekend...the prospect of another Red-Letter Day (I said that just for Valarian!) for the Red's..and a great occasion is on the card
s !!

'ON STANLEY !!..ON!!..TO GREATER THINGS !!
