Ok, we need cheering up. Let's post Good News stories that aren't EU-related.

For me, the big thing that's happened is that the Colombian Civil War, is finally ending after 50 years.

BBC wrote:
Colombians are celebrating the signing of a ceasefire by the government and the Farc rebel movement, which ended 50 years of civil war.

In the capital, Bogota, people took to the streets, hugging each other and singing the national anthem.

The announcement is seen as one of the last steps before a full peace deal is signed, which is expected within weeks.

You didn't fart, merely shat your pants with no propellant gas?

OK, If you want details, it was a deep belly fart that went on twice as long as expected. Carried some heat and humidity with it (causing alarm bells). Thankfully after touching my gusset at the lights, I happily confirmed it was gas only. With an odour not unlike lifting a full bin lid on a hot day.

I'm genuinely depressed today after the leave vote and everything to do with that, but your post here has made me chuckle a lot, so thank you.

Been in Cornwall all week and weather has been off and on.

Yesterday was my sons 3rd birthday and it was a great sunny day.

So went to local beach where he ran around in his nappy for 6 hours loving every minute.

One day made the entire trip worth it :)

I wasn't going to go to a wedding on Saturday night, but long story short... I did... The family and I went to the wedding.

I wasn't looking forward to it as I'm unsocialable but it turned out alright as I just spent the whole night looking after my girls, eating sweets, drinking pop and having a little dance with them.

It turned out ace in the end and I'm so proud of them both!

Also.. It's my eldests first sports day tomorrow morning. How's all that for good news?

Lucky bastard !

Many years ago now I had a bad dose of the flu. I was literally running on Niquil and Dayquil (one for the day one for the night). Any way, after a few days of doing this to myself I was just about to walk out of the door for work when I got a really odd sensation from down there and realised I needed to fart. At the time my ex wife was sitting on the sofa with her two cousins (one male, one female). I had a white pair of cords on. Any way, I lifted up my right leg a little and got myself into a comfy position and started to fart. When I say started to fart I mean just that, this fart went on for an almost impossible ten seconds or so before it changed in pitch. Thing is I was so proud of myself for pumping out such a belter that I thew caution to the wind (literally) and carried on with this now very strange sounding fart.

All the time I was making sure that every one was paying attention to this monumental moment, the longest fart I'd ever done.

Sadly all was not well and I had indeed shit myself. So I had to do a checkwipe, then take a shower and change out of the clothes I was wearing.
