What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Pillock]

Regular shiters will remember my rant in the GoM thread about exhausts, and KWIK-proFIT wanting £99 to fit a new backbox.I was mildly chuffed therefore to get that down to £42 by ringing a different fast-fit place, but they needed to order one.Today? £18 and I fitted it myself in 5 minutes flat. £81 saving for a few seconds twirling a 13mm spanner. Score.

Where did you get the part from?

B&M Exhausts in Mansfield. TBH it's not the bestest quality, it's a little boomy, but it's still filthy cheap and will pass an MoT better than the one with the 4-inch rusty gash in it.

This is making me smile today:

 

The UK boy kidnapped in Pakistan two weeks ago has been reunited with his father at the British High Commissioner's home in Islamabad.

 

 

Mrs Ash and I don't have any kids, but I'd walk to hell and back for my two nieces.

Yep, seconded. And luckily the little fella seems pretty unscathed after the whole ordeal.

 

Seem like a nice family. The feeling of relief they are experiencing must be unimaginable.

A Bit of Fry and Laurie.Should be in bed but watching an episode of the above. They were superb. Before one of them found fortune in Hollywood & the other became a pompous, self promoting voice-over man.

I assume you restore antique clocks, Seth?My dad does and has similar boxes (and boxes and boxes) of such bits.

Smaller than clocks Pocket watches mostly but I do do the odd smaller/larger thing too.A bit more grin factor: I phoned up for a catalogue/price list from what I imagine is a fairly small cottage industry type firm that makes cutters. The label on the envelope it came in yesterday was typed. On a type writer.

Chap near me has just bought a 106 and must have a similar exhaust, sounds like a barrymobile starting up.

As I left Brighton in the pissing rain today I caught up with this fucking dogs abortion;

 

 

 

And I begin an overtake, well it is Brighton, even the straights are a bit faggy I suppose;

 

 

 

Then I see the sign on the side;

 

 

I then put the camera down in readiness to make an insulting gesture, but instead piss myself when I clock the black feller driving, that's Brighton for you.

Not necessarily true. That may be a very old computer Back in the late 60's I worked on a Honeywell computer that used an IBM electric typewriter as a printer. That was modern then............computers were a bit bigger than now

Does nobody think this whole thing was a little suspect?

Visiting a proper independent record shop to collect gig tickets, then spending an enjoyable 45 minutes or so thumbing through the extensive clearance sections. Left with tickets, a pile of CDs that received the nod of approval from the bod behind the counter and a hard copy of PYTto read.

 

I buy most of my tickets on line these days but this really is a much more satisfying experience than just clicking add to basket. Must do it more often

This makes me grin

They had typed a letter wrong and gone back and typed the correct letter over the top.
