What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

My allegro! My sister and her boyfriend went on a mission to get it for me today! She loved it! Phoned me three times on the way to say how nice it was to drive and what a head turner it was!Pics tomorrow, when someone who knows how to work cameras is here...

[michiel]

Good news, great sister & boyfriend! I don't see my sister doing that for me...

[Louise2cv]

Bless them, they did about 180 miles, 4hrs driving today and are getting up at 5:30 tomorow to make it back in time for Chris to play football (he even missed a nights work for this trip!), all just so I could get my car today!I think they enjoyed it though, esp Abby. Her first comment when she saw my pics was "what the fudge is that shed, you haven't bought it?" now she says its a beast, really nice drive, comfortable and nippy. We may have a convert!

[FredTransit]

Nice one, get her on here, there's hope yet! We gonna have a girl's section then?

Autoshite turns to man-o-man dating website SHOCKER!BTW RPelican, your technique could do with a bit of refining. At least buy him a drink first.

Buy a drink , coffee or nout im afraid , and thats only because Mrs RP bought fair trade stuff , might be good for the farmers but it tastes fugging discusting .

Careful! I might take up the offer one day (in summer)

Jeff Stelling from Sky Sports. Surely the greatest programme host of ever?

Agreed. The man is a true legend.

Please no, he was decent 5+ years ago when he was more impartial/unbiased. Was always amusing seeing him trying to cover up his disappointment when Hartlepool had lost and the like. Now they've turned it into some sort of Pantomime.It is good that they have more cameras at grounds on Soccer Saturday now though. Dean Windass is a my new favourite reporter.

I'm a big fan of Chris Kamara.

+1Kamara is a star, I'd love to meet him. Always full of energy/enthusiam and comes across as genuinely funny.Stelling is the same, I love all the Hartlepool references and the wait whilst we see whether they've scored or the team they are playing have.Windass seems a good laugh and LeTissier is entertaining too.Bryn Law on the other hand is a weapons grade gobshite and even more hateful than John 'biased and boring' Thompson.

Stelling was on top form yesterday - singing the theme tune from The Sweeney when Sweeney equalised for Hartlepool.Agreed re. Le Tiss, good egg.

Fish keeping.Ok, it's a sodding chore keeping on top of the tanks/doing weekly water changes etc but I still get a great deal of pleasure from the fish and I've done bloody well with my marine tank this last few months.

Not sure if I've mentioned him before but:Reginald D HunterJust caught a bit of him on some lie/truth comedy panel game thingy with Rob Brydon (who I don't much like). Reg D is comedy gold though.

Yes, Kamara is an old favourite. Le Tiss is probably the best studio reporter although there's a few decent ones. I enjoy Pete Baraclough's outside reports as he doesnt seem to know what's happening/who's playing and has to write everything down.. Did you mean Phil Thompson? If so I totally agree. Johnny Philips bloody annoys me, mainly because of his looks..

[Cavcraft]

Sorry, it was Phil Thompson. He's an annoying scouse wanker and typical of their own (Liverpool) fans who think trading on ancient history makes them a force to be reckoned with now, when in actual fact they're shite.

Couldnt agree more. I hate Liverpool FC & their fans.

No 1 son announced last Monday he didn't want to go through another winter on his bike and was going to put in for his car theory test.Well the sneaky bugger only went and took it this afternoon and passed! I am now trying to instill the virtues of shite on him instead of getting up to his eyeballs in debt. I should be OK as one of his mates drives a 93 Proton and the other a 70s VW held together with gaffer tape and bailing wire

Last night the Polo’s heater fan stopped working. I spent the 15 minutes driving home thinking about where I’d get a new switch from, or motor, or ballast resistor, or could I wire it on full speed all the time, or…. And how it’s cold outside and getting dark, and how I didn’t want to be poncing about with the car tonight, with lots of swear words in between.Got home, switched off the engine, turned on the ignition and the fan switch and went for a prod about under the bonnet. Ballast resistor: nothing hanging off. Motor: no smell of burnt motors. Fusebox: all fuses look ok, I’ll just give them all a prod in turn. *wrrrrrrrrrrrrr*Bend the fuse contact a bit, put the fuse back in, go in the house. That’s my kind of repair.How can a 1987 Polo with 135,000 miles be this reliable?

Finding out my poorly TDCi Focus had a sticky butterfly valve in the inlet manifold and not a knackered fuel pump. Yay!

Right with you there. They are, in my humble opinion, THE worse set of supporters in the world bar none.In fact to give you an idea of my absolute and utter loathing for them I despise them more than Wrexham, and believe me that's almost unthinkable.

LOL. I'm a proud Liverpool fan and will always be :)It's Man U and Chelsea I dislike. Don't particularly dislike any teams fans, en masse. Man City becoming rich has pissed me off a bit, as City fans were the only ones out there who hated Man U as much as we do.

[Cavcraft]

My missus and her dad are Liverpool 'fans' ditto a few mates and scores of bindippers at work . What REALLY rankles is when they bleat on about their precious 'history', which is mostly anicent history of course, and how after two wins and a draw in the first four games of a season they are all of a sudden going to win the league and everything else put before them.Reality check: only Liverpool fans care that they won a cup in 1977 and 1979 (or whenever it was), only Liverpool fans assume they will defiantely win everything going just by turning up. Oh, and only Liverpool fans could take years to realise their manager is a hopeless, clueless moron who puts all his eggs in one basket (Champions League) and not have a plan B when that fails.Let's not forget their favourite excuse of the last efw years though, that Chelsea 'bought their way to the league title etc'. Yeah, Chelsea have had obscene amounts of cash thrown at them but 99.9% of the players they got were fantastic. What Liverpool fans seem to forget is that they were one of the richest clubs in Britain for light years, spent the most money in the previous 2 seasons in the Premier League and yet have won sod all of note for bleeding ages. Big team? My arse they are. They're trading on past glories and about as big as threat to United and Chelsea to the Premier League title as I am to 'international male model of the year'Right, I've runied the 'what makes you happy thread' now sorry so I'll go back on topic:Liverpool losing makes me ecstatic.Billy Bitter,Chester,Cheshire.

Sod all other than the Champions League, that is

[Cavcraft]

Which was how long ago now and why do some people still have 'Liverpool, champions of Europe' stickers in their cars? Sometimes, as painful as it may be, you have to let go of the past!Anyhow sod them, far bigger fish to fry. It looks my beloved Chester City have bitten the dust. Couldn't play Tuesday night as coach and players not paid plus only had nine team members and the big derby against the great unwashed goatblowers Wr*xh*m on Sunday is off as Chester can't afford to pay for the police.What made me grin?Watching Chester beat Leeds Utd 3-0 and Newcastle 1-0 in 1974/5, then making the semi-finals of the League Cup before losing over two legs to Villa.Many drunken home/away days, surprise results in cup games, meeting a lot of my mates at the ground and 40-odd years (on and off) of following a bloody awful team but having a laugh along the way.

I used to work virtually next door to Chester City on Bumpers Lane.I'll say no more about footy on 'ere.... it's upsetting the natives
