outlaw118 3,334 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 As the original Grumpy Old Man thread reaches nigh on 70 pages as I type this, I thought I'd attemp to lighten the mood. What makes you grin/snigger/smirk? It can be anything...seeing a traffic warden spontaneously combust? A particulaly poor joke? A song? A website? I was introduced to this lot by a doctor chum of mine, they're called "The Amateur Transplants". Some will already be familiar with their "London Underground" ditty, but heres another.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R7QX0zI ... re=related Please add your own pictures, links, stories, jokes whatever, so we can prove to ourselves we're not all suicidal, miserable old (and in some cases not so old) grumps. Thangyooverrrrrmuch. (in an Elvis style). 2 CarolFOP and 108 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedSparrow 876 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 Hmm, for me this thread could be combined with the grumpy old man one, as lately all that seems to cheer me up is taking pleasure in other people's misfortune (I mean stupid people who deserve it). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted August 21, 2009 Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Apart from perhaps a crazed smile as a nod towards the utter futility of existence. Usually when it's raining.Come on man. Surely you can't watch this video of a dumpy, uncomfortable-looking man pretending to be The Fat Controller to promote "Thomas Land" and not have a slight chuckle. It's the most feeble thing I've ever seen, it cracks me up. Also helps that the entire theme park looks incredibly grim and low-rent. 1 oldcars reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M'coli 6,038 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 Autoshite moments, like the one tonight. After driving an work pool Focus up from Birmingham got back to the Avenger to drive home. At the first major junction, there's a dark red mk2 Polo breadvan coming towards me. So there's me in the smart shirt etc., and this guy in a suit and tie, both of us in old motors taking a good swatch at each others' cars despite the fact that there's nothing coming. A quick wave, a grin and we're on our way again!Similarly, 11 years ago in the Imp, coming back from a job interview in Oxford on a stunning Friday evening the traffic at pre-bypass Newbury forces me onto the M4 to Hungerford to get to Andover, briefly stopping to phone my pub job at a call box to say I'll be late. 5 minutes later, what's that low-slung thing in the mirror? It's a bloody Clan Crusader, FFS!!! A brief wave as we head for our different destinations, it was great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parky 13,641 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 Dusty Renault 4's pootling around Majorca. Sitting on a plane on a business trip and realising there are only 8 of us on the entire plane so we get entire rows to ourselves. Waking up early on a Sunday, and having a surf and a cup of tea before the kids wake up. Driving along a nice country road with some decent music playing and no-one else about. But to top it all - Rainy Sundays, cup of tea, ham roll, and an old black and white Peter Sellers film like "Two Way Stretch" comes on. Now thats total bliss that is. I'm a simple soul me.....
