What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

'What do you want more bikes for?' my missus asked before I left the house this morning. Honest to God, they just don't get it do they?

 

[Tickman]

I think you need a good clear out as that strimmer and lawnmower are taking up valuable bike space!

Soz, what was that? CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER OUR AWARD WINNING DOG

Decided to get the train back to Manchester from Kings Cross and go via York instead of going to Euston, hate that place, and Pendolinos.

East Coast train to York has broken a/c in two carriages so they declassified one of the first carriages. As such I'm sitting here in a big leather recliner with a massive table to myself

[Ghosty]

Oh, and the wifi is acting like its first class so it's free too 😎

You dog won an award for being Scruffy? Did I read that right?

[Station]

I flashed out an old blue Fiat Scudo van with two auld scrotes driving. He took about three flashes before he realised. It was an LHD van, but on the back of his van was a handwritten sign that said 'Left Wheel Drive'.

BCD got an award for selling many used cars this year.

It's been a year of exposing Kinky Girl to my interests and she's not run away screaming yet.

 

So far she's been to:

Shipley Glen tramway

Scarborough north bay railway

Beamish

Ironbridge

Severn Valley railway

Anson engine museum

Elsecar heritage

Kirklees light railway

Blists hill victorian town

Keighley & worth valley railway

 

She's a keeper

[bub2006]

From sound of things mate she introduced you to her "interests" too! Good luck chap!

[steveo3002]

did you ever explain the kinky girl nickname ?

[Richard]

Yes, in quite a lot of detail sometimes.

Weirdly enough: Scruffy, waggiest tail and fluffy.

Babs came home with a certificate, the head judge went home with a Peugeot 405 Estate.

Missus said "C'mon, we'll pop along to Tesco for a few bits"

 

I opened the front door & just beammed a smile...

Just got back from a drifting day Donington, was a real hoot.

[fordperv]

did you watch or take part?

I got to rag a Nissan Skyline around and use up a few tyres, also got some high speed laps with the instructor. It was a gift and much appreciated. You can hire one for three hours including an instructor and as many tyres as you can burn for £250 and up to three people which seemed decent value to me.

Small things etc. Just seen an advert for a George Formby Grill. Those of you who get the reference can start with the puns and song titles in 3, 2, 1.....

Sitting here for the first time in six years, on an actual road. Proper corrosion assesment to follow this week and stupid amounts of cash to no doubt follow afterwards.

That's what I thought, the website says £285 but the bloke running it said £250, I may get a couple of mates together and go back. £80 for a full hours driving is pretty good by 'driving experience' days. Don't get me wrong, the cars aren't trailer queen concourse minters but it's just a laugh to rag one round some Tarmac legally and you do learn a lot even after nearly thirty years of stupidity in real wheel drive cars.

What, no Bovington Tank Museum?

News grin, a little morbid but fuck it.

 

Ice Road Truckers star killed in crash........ plane landing ends in 'fiery' disaster.......... 'something went drastically wrong'.

 

Yep, I imagine that would be a candidate for the blindingly obvious award of forever.

The massive chunk of windscreen that got taken out of the meriva last year at some point finally cracked on saturday

 

 

Gavin from autoglass is popping round in a bit to replace it!

 

I did a mock claim for the xantia whilst I was on the Web booking bit and it said 'phone us for a quote' rather than spit out either our £75 excess or the 'non insurance' price I got for the meriva (£396 iirc) Hope I don't get a big stonw flick up, shame really as the windscreen is very very scratched on it, and could do with accidentally getting cracked next year...
