What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[ChinaTom]

Hmm. Brand needs a rethink maybe.

Had to buy a printer tonight to sort out some paperwork for my new job - all in one printer scanner copier with cartridges (albeit starter ones) and wifi direct printing for £31 - wow!

 

It's lightning fast for an inkjet too

[beko1987]

Sounds good value tbh, as much as I don't like saying it you could throw it away/freecycle it when it's done

 

Or buy eBay inks for it and carry on

An acquaintance of mine has lost his license for being a silly boy. He is now selling his DRFTWPN Lexus IS200 as he now cannot do the driving thereof.

 

"3500 or near offer, no "insultingly unfunny amount of money and generic chocolate bar" shit.

 

First response thereafter?

A mess?

[catsinthewelder]

Alfa 155?

[dave21478]

The light and corner of the wing are fairly certainly Calibra, but given the state of the rest they could have been grafted onto anything.

 

*sigh* I would give my bollocks to have that car back today.  

 

 

Although I think there were Puntos with very similar light and leading edge of wing too?

Bit more and yep,it's a Calibra

 

 

 

Sort of

[DVee8]

First guess

[cobblers]

 

All 8 of these M8 exhaust port threads cleaned up fine, including the one with a broken stud in it, even after I snapped three drill bits in it - They all snapped proud of the head so I could pull them out with pliers and go again.

 

I was so sure they would go to shit that I bet £35 the wrong way and ordered a helicoil kit that I don't need now!

I got the Calibra straight away.

 

They ought to be shot for doing that to it.

[Tickman]

Because of some very* successful* work on a car yesterday I was returning home on this yesterday:

As I was bored I took the picture and sent it to a few people to which one reply was:

'That looks like one of the ex Strathtay ELC B7s' by our very own yellow bus toting Mr Fowler.

This was soon followed up by this:

Stagecoach Fife 16924 ST52NTL by David Walker, on Flickr

 

When I arrive at my destination I disembark and as the bus carries on with the rest of its journey I check the numberplate which is ST52NTL the same as on the picture.

 

Made me grin.

Get yourself a pizza in the harbour before you go.  The lasses making them are from Bishop Aukland and Billingham, and are proper canny.  Plus, the pizzas are tasty.

I'd like to do that one day.
