What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Cheggers]

phalacrocarax aristotelis is the common shag.

 

remember that for future reference.

'Hello darling, would you like to go back to my place for a phalacrocarax aristotelis?'

Wonder if that would work, sounds a bit math-nerdy.

Anyone know the Latin for "toothless blowjob"??

Well with school cancelled for poglet maximus, after poglet in-the-middle had been to nursery we elected to brave the SNOW CHAOS and drive to the town of St.Evenage to watch the panto, which was jolly good fun.

I refuse to go to pantos, last time I went to one I was astounded by just how ugly the birds performing in it were. You'd swear they were blokes! Needless to say, I brought the matter up with my solicitor and I received appropriate levels of compensation.

Carter USM make me smile. Half a wake, cold and pissed off at stupid o'clock this morning. Banged the Carter CD in and before you know it I'm cranking it up full whack and singing along full tilt.

And when I drive that heap down the roadYou can hear the cheap car stereoVolume knob turned down lowAnd rubbish on the radio

I'm prepared to meet my maker and ask for my money back. Indeed.

I quite enjoy watching some of the crazy Winter Olympic sports on Eurosport. Currently digging the Women's Skeleton (where they go downhill on a tea tray, head first). A few rather tidy (lycra clad) competitors:

Got to college in the end, where we spent the day trying to sort out a fucked Rover 100 with holes in the footwells and an exhaust that had rusted clean off in front of the cat.It started! And idled, and drove. Wahey!

[Cavcraft]

Cavette Junior has impressed on his two day trial at a garage and been invited back to work when he can around his college hours.Unpaid at the moment but I expect I'll be sorting him out myself. No guarantee of a job but they said they would do their best to employ a day or two a week if it works out.Chuffed to bits, especially as he's really enjoyed it and says there's quite a few of 'our' type of cars to fix there.

[brammy777]

Thats good to hear Cavette, I think ill maybe be doing another year of college just to reinforce what I already know. Its worth doing, I think.

Thats great stuff.

That is good news Cavette, Good for him.I was on one of them REMIT schemes when i left school in 1996, You do 4 days practical working for a local garage and one day at college, I really enjoyed it and did get to learn at lot as well as make new friends.I done body work instead of mechanics though, sometimes i wish i did mechanics as bodywork was a dirty old job what with the filler dust and paint fumes you had to inhale all the time.

Just been to see Avatar at the IMAX cinema in 3D,Once my eyes had got used to being led around the screen it was nothing short of epic. Fantastic film, amazing effects. My freinds and I were pretty much speechless when we came out.If you can see it at the IMAX it's well worth it, and at £9.00 was the same price as the local Multiplex for 3DTo all the northerners, Its on a The national film museum until the end of Jan, is sold out for the next few days so you have to book in advance.But WELL worth it! Shall be going again!

Thinking i'm half my age and going sledging the other night makes me grin. Yeah, i'm still bruised, and i was sore the next day, and it was between 9 and 11.30 pm, so the barbed wire fence at the end of the hill was hard to see, but epic fun!!!

Went to see it last week, in 3D at the multiplex, and came out just about speechless. It is, genuinely, astonishing, can't recommend it highly enough. Imagine it must be quite an experience in IMAX.

^^^ A seriously good book, regardless of what one thinks of its writer. Manages to be witty, thought-provoking and heart-warming at the same time ! A must for people with a genuine passion for cars and engineering (a definition that probably applies to all members of this forum !).

[brammy777]

Got 12 issues of street machine through the post today, all from 1982. Brilliant magazine, the custom cars from back then were well finished. Checked a few on the DVLA database, only one is still taxed on the road, although one 7.5 litre MKII Consul has been unlicensed since march.... anyone know more?I can chuck up some scans if anyone wants them.

After hours BBC2 showing “Pages from CEEFAXâ€Â, with music apparently borrowed from Swiss Railway Journeys. If it wasn’t for that “How CEEFAX switches to Digital TV 697†anchor on the news pages you could pretend it was still 1983 8)Bugger it, I'm going to have another beer and watch this for a bit...EDIT: Intrigue. They've stopped the music now and an announcer has said "we're interrupting our programmes to" followed by silence. Don't keep me in suspense. What's going on? Has someone assassinated The Queen? Is the World going to end? Should I head for the Anderson shelter? Help!2nd EDIT: The music's back. Panic over :D3rd EDIT: Page 124 just went by and apparently a simple urine test can differentiate between dangerous and safe snoring. What will they think of next?

[Rusty Pelican]

On a boring, cold afternoon at work, pictures of Emma Bunton cheer me up no end

[Minimad5]

Well Mr Lobster i wouldn't say no to abit of that.On the other hand i can be happy from simple things :)Such as on saturday i replaced a rear hub on a "52" Nissan Micro-waveSure i got a soggy ass from the snow But seing my mate and his dear old mother be happy was chuffingly good !I weirdly get happy from drumming too (Which has the opposite affect on the neighbours)

[trigger]
