What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Captain Furious]

Minor win, just happened to be perusing my BT account and realised I could get option 2 infinity for £2 a month more than my standard adsl connection

 

Silly thing was, the option 1 infinity which is slower and has a £49 activation fee was the same price as option 2 with no activation...let me think about that for a second

 

So superfast shiteing from 7th September

Spent the day with a couple of mates and two Triumph 1300FWD's.

 

Visited Coventry to help my mate make the interior of his rather lovely 1300FWD look spiffing again. 

 

Good old Cif! He hadn't quite realised how grubby the seats had become and was a very happy chap with the seat and door card cleaning outcome.

 

Piccies of the cars tomorrow!

Not sure of this is a Grump or a Grin - Bit of both I guess -

 

My Forester's water pump packed in late Wednesday evening , garage being busy , couldnt fit me in till Friday Morning - Wrong pump turned up ..................... And

 

The day of the angry Mechanic .

So , here was the plan, get to the garage for 7.30 AM, Mechanic Paul, was to open up extra early on the premise this bloody water pump would turn up and get it on and all put back together for about 9.00 ish ......That was the plan .......

 

 

8,00AM as promised parts guy turns up , and a youthful sort bounds out and enters the workshop, ''Heres your water pump. Guessed you wanted it after all?''

I looked at Paul , and he walked over , and then the plan fell apart.

 

''Thats the water pump I sent back! ''

''Yes I know the kid said, but its got '''Return''' on the invoice ''

I sensed a coldness emerge , and the skies darken even more than it was already.... And I witnessed full blown Mechanic rage .....

 

''I f&cking know its got return on it, I f&cking wrote it, RETURN as in No f*cking good. Wrong f&cking one. Where's the right f*cking one?..''

The kid now looked confused and quite scared , and shook his head, ''I dont know''

 

''FOR F*CKS SAKE, I got up f*cking early to open this f$cking place up , so that F&cker standing over there can have his F^cking car back to go to a F$cking show, and you f&cking retarded c/7nt cant be f^cking arsed to check before giving me this worthless bit of shit back to me''

''Now F%ck off and get me my f/8cking part of by f$cking Jesus I will ram the bastard thing up you f$cking arse you thick C%nt....''

 

I just picked up two empty mugs and said ''Cuppa Tea Paul ?''
and fecked off to the kitchen before I witnessed a murder .....

 

It did eventually turn up at 11.00AM , and they used a different guy to drop it off, Guessed the young kid was in therapy :shock:

Just got back from circus zyair with my family, went along on the grounds the nipper would love it and I would probably be a bit bored, but it was absolutely fantastic. I haven't seen a circus in over thirty years and can't remember the last one but this one was awesome. The finale was a triple bike stunt in a ball cage where the bottom half of the cage went down with the three bikes circling the top half. The tight rope guy did a trick I can only describe as a bunny hop over a woman whilst on the tight rope. Well worth the entrance fee.

I got a bit bored at work earlier

VW scene shite spotted today on my travels. But look what's in the background, a C6! French registered and I wanted to get a better pic but The French were sitting in it.

Its my birthday today,i'm now a little pissed trying to read these threads. Been a great day..

[andrew e]

Accidently kept level from a set of lights with a hard charging past its prime Audi S2. (It must have been knackered) I was bringing the oldies back from Southend for a Rossi (Ice cream) and his face on seeing a station wagon whose three passengers combined age totalled 247 years was a picture.

 

Probally akin to my own when I heard my 90 year old Nan say "Don't let him beat you!"

 

You can take your Nan out Romford, but you can't take the Romford out of your Nan!

The bike racing today, no spoilers but fantastic results

[dean36014]

Been having a clearout the last week,a declutter you might say. Bike gear sold, some old hifi stuff sold and I raised nearly 600 quid! Trying hard not to waste it on some old chod and pay the credit card off instead!

Oh and dragged a battered roll cab out the skip at work, a quick clean up and its in the shed as damn useful storage.

A fairly accurate snapshot of any day from last week.

 

My lass and I undertook a 1200 mile round trip to visit her Mum and Dad at their home/B&B in La Vernouille (southboundbandb.co.uk in case you wondered)

 

The Micra didn't miss a beat but it did test the resolve of our asses.

good to see you ootnaboot!

good to see you ootnaboot!

Tis good to be out me duck. The best bit was sharing time with my lass, our careers rarely allow us more than 1.5 days a week together, the Micra gave us 14.25 hours on the outward leg and 12 hours on the return as well as the rest of the week.

 

I think too much time in my company has rubbed off on her (fnarr fnarr..), without prompting she papped this:

Took Kinky Girl for a day out at blists hill victorian town. A bit far at 2 1/2 hours drive, but worth it. Lots of huge things in steam, and I tried my best to make her feel special. For once I didn't balls up a day out.

Rob, I'm starting to worry that you're stalking Clackett Lane Services.

Well funky.

 

[brownnova]

Last night on the way home from the Trafford centre I saw a Lamborghini Huracan, and a Skoda Favorit estate....

 

Can you guess which one I pointed out to my wife....

[brownnova]

Oh, and after three weeks of standing the MX5 straight into life at the first turn of the key! Driving it after being away made me grin... Alot!! I really do like this car!!

It's a wonder I still have any American friends with the visual puns I send their way, really.

The roads will be a little safer though, as people think about the 5 year sentence just given to a hands free using driver.
