I've never seen the film as well. Well, not the whole of a film (Sorry, but it was just dragging on and on, and there were little bear-people so I was a bit freaked out!) :)

LOVED this weeks show, that holocaust survivor bought a tear to my eye. Beautiful

I do love the Americans :')

Hihi!!!!!!!!!!! Yet again, it is I!!

This story could kind be considered sick, but I bet you could make something from it. Aaaaaaaaanyway, a freind of mine has recently said"You use too many exclamation marks. It's so offputting. So no more exlamation marks all week. And look at me, acting like people actually are reading this stuff. Tell you what, if you read this comment, then when you next comment, say dishwasher at the end.
Katie out!
(Oh,I used an excalmation mark dammit!)
(and another. Pooperdoodle.)

Inspiring story, Really

Being a transplanted teenager, I have had to go through many scary surgical procedures, and treatments. I lost both my kidneys to cancer, after enduring chemotherapy I had to also endure over two years of dialysis. My lovely mother donated her kidney to me and I am to this day grateful for her sacrifice.
when I had my transplant I was 8years old and didn’t know anyone else who had had an organ transplant, until I met this amazing lady Liz Schick who her self battled with liver cancer and was told she didn’t have that long left to live, she feared for her children and loving husband but she was told by the doctors that she could have a a liver transplant. After receiving her liver transplant her eyes were opened to the world of transplantation and the joys that it can bring to many individuals and families. Not even a year after her transplant she climbed Kilimanjaro. Not long after that she set up an organisation called TACKERS (transplant adventure camps for kids) what TACKERS does is bond new friendships and build understanding of post transplantation and what life you can have after receiving a vital organ. It is held in Anzere Switzerland and it gives these children a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn how to ski, snowboard, dog sleighing, scuba-diving and Para-gliding.
I have made many new friends around the world and have such gratitude for what Liz does. what I believe to be important with TACKERS is that children can be surrounded but children like them and they all understand what each other has been through and it builds an international family that shows support.



Without this organisation I don’t think I would be the person who I am today and I am ever so grateful for what Liz shick has done for me and for many children around the world.

Please, please have a look at this for your good news slot. Heard about it on the world service and sounds like what they need is publicity to put pressure on Coca cola to make it happen, which would be incredible! or try www.colalife.org.

It's not all doom and gloom - these Welsh farmers took a coach at 4am to Windsor for the state visit of the Emir of Qatar - they didn't go to see the Queen or the Emir, they went to watch the horse they sold to the army in his first official duty as Drum Horse!! They stood in the pouring rain all day to watch the Royal procession led by Celt the grey shire horse from Dyfed Shire Horse Farm in Eglwyswrw, Pembrokeshire. Bless!

The show is in Welsh but has subtitles!

Adopting words. Imagine the sort of complicated placards that would be on display if there was a march organised to support 'save the words'. "Please Assist in the Salvage of Cicuitous Confabulation Forthwith".

And there is a really incomprehensible comment at the end from the guy who took these pictures. Almost philosophical.....

this vid is of a weird person i know


you need to watch this

Here is some good news that make me rather happy...

/news/world-europe-isle-of-man-11070283
/iplayer/episode/b00vw66q/´óÏó´«Ã½_News_at_Six_12_11_2010/

this story is about 17.13mins into the news report
its about A royal marine from the Isle of Man, who was badly injured in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan, is on the road to recovery. enjoy x

Hello! Me again! This is kinda funny :)

The Hell??

There isn't a news report, or any articles about this piece of good news but it brought a smile to my face. One of my teachers, the day before we broke up for October half term, collapsed and knocked herself unconscious. A friend of mine called Ben took charge of the situation - instructing students to help move her away from danger, asking them to go ask a teacher to call 999, put her into the recovery position and looked after her until the paramedics arrived into school. He got praise from both the teacher and school, but no recognition outside of school. It would mean the world to everyone if you could mention this, as a second thanks. (: xx

Australian Rugby player has been forced to quit proffesional Australian rugby due to a video of him and a dog was posted on the internet.

The best thing about this is that he has decided to come to the UK to play instead hoping to escape the abuse he will get. I for one will definately be at his first british match.... I might leave my dog at home though.

Here is a good news story, this i believe will be a good thing to have on the show.
It is about a disabled child that had no life and due to the Apple iPad he now has an improved life.

Thanks

Being 30 myself I am also a big Star Wars fan

I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention Jedi mind tricks

Force user: (waves hand) You want to try a threesome with another woman

This is the response of the public to the t-mobile advert in an airport, Is it just me because or the lady in the clip at 0:18 had a really good holiday, it might be my mind but it just sounds hilarious just hearing her saying on her own leads to a funny mental picture.

Same video just watching again realized that it sounds like there was an orgy at the airport especially from people's response

I want to tell everyone my good news. My dog Blue became ill in January. We were told to say goodbye to him twice as the vets couldn't figure out why he was so poorly but he's still here although still very poorly. He is now completely blind due to his illness. Specialists in Liverpool saved his life but we had to push for a referral.

It got to the point so many people were asking me about him that I set up his own face book page.



We didn't give up on Blue even though we were told he had no hope, if his story saves just one dog from being prematurely put to sleep it will make our journey worth while.

This is not exactly a story, but I found it on Stumble and thought it might appeal to some!



Simples ;)

I love the comments on the bottom: "I bet she's good in bed"

"'He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere,' said one friend."

He has friends??!!!?

(dishwasher x)

Great stuff, Russ. Head over to my blog machinerelief.blogspot.com to see my musings! Happy searching.

I love this, it's British ingenuity (and eccentricity) at it's best. Who needs NASA when we've got these guys?



Sadly, I couldn't find the original clip I saw - where it's revealed that they came up with the idea down the pub - but it still shows some of the amazing footage the plane managed to capture. Just brilliant.

Seeing as students have got a lot of bad press this week, thought I'd send you this video in the hope that faith is restored in student-types:



UAL student union are using this amazing video to campaign against cutting contact time - without throwing fire extinguishers off roofs! Check it out!

Russell, you like to play youtube vids on your show and thought this one was quite funny : - its my cat beating the absolute stuffing out of a Butlins teddy bear :0)

Hey Russell. Love your show. I never miss it. I've found a funny story which might be useful for your next show.

Its about crickets having the biggest testicles.

Hope this helps

Does anyone know the song at the end of the force sketch? I would really like to know. thanks

It's not exactly a good news story at the moment, but hopefully the matter will be settled soon and it will have a happy ending.

Love the show, here is some good news articles my mates have been passing round this week:

My friend's father has changed the law in memory of his daughter - awesome news :)

Kentucky Man forced to eat own beard! It amused me, so I thought I'd share it!

Story :
Government 'to measure happiness'
An attempt to officially measure the UK's happiness is reportedly set to be launched by the Government.

In Opposition, David Cameron called for "general wellbeing" to be assessed alongside traditional economic indicators as there was "more to life than money".

And later this month he will ask the Office for National Statistics to devise new questions for the regular household survey, the Guardian said.

Thought it was pretty funny and wierd :)

Topless political parties and zombies ahead

Thought the Good News team might enjoy this!:

Hi ya russell i've been busy lately haven't had a chance to find some goodnews. However if you need anything russ anything at all just say so, from human shield to assassin. I'm on standbye to help you out. I'm currently jobless and have no future what so ever so i got alot of spare time on my hands i can aslo get to any building in the country within 48 hours. so riverside studios or avalon on exemoor st. just blog for help if you need it and i'll get there as fast as i can. you saved my life. so i'm willing to risk it to help you.

@mockenitup- If it's alright to ask, how did Russell Howard save your life? I'm just bored and curious ;)

@mockenitup+Josie Russell:I am also curious. Did he cure your depression? He definitley helped with mine. Hope you don't mind me askin'.
illinG: Ta for the dishwasherx! :)
(: dishwasher :)

this man has been my hero ever since my friend showed me a video of him

thought people would love him too of they havent already heard of him

a man stole from a julers and when to a diffrent shop but oned buy the same company now that is the gratest story in the world.

@Josie Russell+ @kkthecyberpanda. i dont mind :) after around 8 months of deepening depression i was on the brink of suicide i literaly had nothing left to live for but by chance the tv channel got stuck on goodnews. and for the first time in ages i laughed. then i realised to ignore all things that get you down and look for the humor in everything. if it wasn't for my new out look on life i'd have probably killed myself within days.

I'm acutaly gonna stop including my story in my posts i've just read it and it looks really depressing lol. ironic. and i'm sure the rest of the bloggers dont wanna be bored by my story. i bet there are better ones than mine anyway. from now on i'll just post goodnews.

*cheers and clapping* ring out.

RUSSELL!!! Number one fan right here ...I'm not Obsessed I simply think you are really funny. Can't wait to see you in February :) I booked the tickets around May this year!oh well. Any way I really enjoy your show,and I sometimes get annoyed or unhappy in my lessons so I either think of your quote "sushi? ever body knows am a Nandos guy!" or "nom nom nom evil" so I end up sitting there like a fool grinning my head off! :|

Forgot to post this in my last comment so here it is now ...



Kids are taken into care for being too fat! ... One shocking case involved a three-year-old who weighed 4ST - three times more than normal!!!

One of the first 8 winning entries of the Metro 'Win the Cover' contest. He said yes! Not really a story, more like a snippet, but still really cute and quite heartwarming! :D

You need to watch the clip before the start of the sarah jane adventures on the cbbc channel today at 5:15, in part of it there was a scene between the presenter and the puppet dog which looked a bit wrong for childrens telly. which was quite funny on cbbc

Unbelieveable. Poor dog :( Bet someone got fired over this!

Evening russell & team!

Whilst scouring through the web trying to work out the breed of our halfling dog, we stumbled across the above picture of a "Spoodle". Thought it might make you chuckle as it has us. Meet Colin and Nigel...... Who look slightly confused as to what they are, and a little miffed at would be mockers.

Hi Team Goodnews.

did anyone notice that horse race at around 5pm on 16/11/10 on skysports news. the jockeys were racing but not horses. they were using space-hoppers. I bet the horses staged it. while the jockeys are racing space-hoppers thier at the jockey lounge having wine and discusing bests odds on which jockey and space-hopper will cross the line first. "i've got 10-1 on the green hopper, now pass me some hay, would you jeeves"

and now. terrifying news for the people of nottingham.

/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-11769332

escaped olw brings terror. they say to report the owl to the radio station. hows that gonna help is gonna be sent there to do x-factor voice overs when caught. mind you the owl would get more lines than wagner. maybe it was the olw that sent the death threats too.

Great shows, all you have to fix is NOT the HD channel but the iPlayer. Howsoever ...
Thanks.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

@mockenitup- Beautiful story, mate. I would say the same thing (sort of), but for me it wasn't just Russell, it was the whole cast of Mock The Week. And it wasn't depression, it's was a mild form of autism (Well, I wouldn't say it cured it. But it developed my confidence and my new sense of humour. It's gone to the point where I'm not technically registered as mildly autistic anymore. Which is great!). It's also because of Russell I've got such a dirty mind ;) lol. :D

Just to let you know @mockenitup and @kkthecyberpanda, I've changed my name to The JIZZmeister, mainly because I find it funny :)

A seven year old girl being bullied for liking star wars :( How apt is this for your show??! & How inspiring to see the combat of bullying and to know that kindness between strangers is not lost :)
