[Misc] Cheery Stories- 2025 Edition

[Eeyore]

Reading a light and interesting story on the Beeb pages, I wondered how much time we spend focused on the negative aspects of life. Also in NSC, bad news often gets brought here. But what about the light and happy stuff ?

So I thought to start a thread where folk can share light, funny and happy stories as often as wanted. You'd be surprised how spending a while reading good stuff can raise your mood.

So I'll start with the Desertas Island snails. Thought to be extinct a long time ago. Found, made safe and repatriated to a safe home.

The funniest line was (the colour code) 'will allow us to spot them and track where they disperse to..' I wouldn't worry too much about that. If you return six months later I'm guesing they won't have gone far

I used to keep racing Snails.

In an effort to speed one up I removed its shell, but if anything, it just made it more sluggish.

What did the slug say to the snail ?

"Big Issue mate ?"
