What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I'm partial to a drop of vino, but feel like I need educating on the subject (but definitely do not want to become a wine ponce). Who better to guide me through the process than the late, great educated pisshead Keith Floyd.

I spent most of Sunday evening watching Floyd Uncorked on youtube. Entertaining and informative! So tonight I went out and spent 40 quid on two bottles of wine. This could turn out an expensive hobby...

Go to majestic and buy some bottles of Santa Rita, you’ll find it in the Chilean section.

Let the reds breath for 20-30 minutes before drinking.

[RobT]

Thanks I'll give it a go, although the last few Chilean wines I tried were too full on with the oak. In terms of New World wines NZ reds are my tipple of choice.

[Tayne]

They’re beautifully fruity, sadly the cab sauv seems unavailable outside Chile.

Not sure if tasted the whites but they’ve been well appreciated when given away.

I forgot to pop some pictures up of a corolla I saw at my mates garage yesterday when I went to pick some welding gas up, ive seen it about local a few times but never managed to get a picture

The stars may align........ the weekend coming is free, my prep/ paint mate is free, the Capri is waiting. Just need it to not rain and we can make some progress for the first time in months.

[fordperv]

Fingers crossed for you, there's nothing like a bit of progress to boost the mojo, you'll have to start a thread on it, I'd be interested for one

I keep meaning to but have just never got around to it on here. I think it’s because the pics are all over the place so not easy to get in one place. If I get some pics over the weekend I will start one.

Brown content haz test. L1 eagerly awaits DEMONSTRATING HE IS A PRICK.

Had the car insurance payment sat in my current account waiting to go out (all my spending money goes into my Monzo account every month). Car insurance is still there... Turns out it goes out at the end of every month not the beginning, and got paid on payday and I did not notice...

 

Win, £50 I didn't know I had! Will save that for seeing some mates next weekend!

Great stuff, I have been hoping I had been passing Tamworth so I could get this steering column over to you for it, ive just not had a need to yet

I know the feeling, I went past yours about a dozen times in the years before I mentioned it to you and never since! Sod’s law.

I like the moped trikes in all honesty. Had rude thoughts about a tomos trike for shits and giggles or a c90 trike but too much hassle.

Piaggio MP3?

Some twat (he looks like a hipster twat) rides on of them around here. I do have to laugh in the winter at a set of lights I have to set off carefully on my GSX due to the side slope where he just nails it & goes up the road sideways everyday.

Only grinning at the download speed mind, I'll have to chin the cunts about the upload speed, which is just shit (and lower than it was before - should be nearer 36 than 24)

Sad news this morning when I had the message that sorry but trike has sold on eBay. Why the grin? Well I had a message an hour back saying if I still want it it's mine has the buyer has dropped out.

Good old ebay, ruining lives and offering second chances since 1994.

[bub2006]

My friend stuck to his word and I stuck to mine. If it didn't sell on eBay I'd get offer and I wanted it to run anyway. All happy!

[Datsuncog]

Unexpected grin: tried and failed earlier in the year to get tickets to see Mercury Rev playing an extremely small venue in my home town. No chance - tickets all gone within seconds of release.

 

Friend who works for the local paper messages me earlier to ask if I fancy coming along with him next Tuesday, as he's writing a review and has a +1 for the door list.

 

Get in.

If there's not a takeaway in the vicinity, then it's either one serious oddball in the street - or time to call in Rentokil as the K11 has learned how to breed.

Fourmicra. Rape gang?

This morning I took a detour on the way to work as I was picking up some computer gubbinz for a colleague. I'm pleased I did because it meant I got to witness a man with an actual pirate eyepatch getting out of a Toyota bB covered in stick-on halfords tat.

 

This was a good start to the day. I didn't get a pic because I was dumbstruck by the awesomeness of the entire episode
