What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

A workmate has just told me that a stupid dwarf is not big or clever.

Guessing that this stock picture of the Irish border used on the BBC News website today is a bit of an old one...

Another Volvo 940 estate heads north of the border.

The ex-Heidel_Kakao and now ex DSdriver mean green machine is on its way to Inverness area.

Have recommended Autoshite to new owner and left the AS badge on.

Green MGF now has replacement flexi exhaust bit fitted, every nut undid without drama. Also new rear pads fitted. Two studs fitted on the rear O/S as well.

 

Nice to have it back on the road.

 

For flogs if interests.

One of the absolute joys of my current job is I can have a month off at one...

 

The last time I was allowed to do that was in 2002. I made the most of it and mitched off to Australia. After about a week there, I realised that one month wasn't going to be enough.

Audi wanker comes fucking flying past me going from a 40 into a 30 zone, around the corner is a brand new 18 plate speed camera van.  

 

:D

:D

:D

 

I was getting ludicrously tailgated by an Audi last night (was on motorbike). And I do see a lot of this aggressive piling into 30 limits, and various other shit. Why of all marques does Audi attract such crotch-thrusting muppets. The cars have always struck me as a bit mundane, bar that ace quatro from the '80s.

[AMC Rebel]

The people I know who are not petrol heads (or tree huggers) see Audi as a very aspirational brand - and one woman I know was keen to tell me how the higher up model of her A3 even had automatic lane changing - that marketing budget is working for get-ahead alpha wankstains.

[Lacquer Peel]

I just saw one of these on the road, what a way to go.

SiC is a nice guy!

Teapot exhaust systems. Amazing.

Yes, Mustie strikes again.

Non-car grumpy antidote.

 

Joined a rather good choir last week.  Went to rehearsal yesterday and wasn't completely out of my depth.  Which was nice.

Yeah but 320touring and I are dicks!

[Zelandeth]

Finally fixing a piece of electrical equipment that's been faulty and you've been doing battle with for the last 15 years or so, and finding that it actually works even better than you'd hoped.

[320touring]

Speak for yourself, I'm at least a reasonable coiffure;)

My father in law is one of the nicest people I know, and an excellent driver.

 

No idea why he has an Audi.

To the fella working in the Morrisons filling station I visited earlier that THREW my tobacco at me, then SLAMMED the till after my payment had been processed: you might have been having a bad day, matey, but you don't get to take it out on me.

 

So I've sent your company's Head of Customer Experience an email about your attitude to customer service.

 

Have a nice day

I'll have 10 kitkats and a motoring atlas....

Wish there'd been one round the corner here, he'd been up my arse for about 1/2 a mile in a 30 limit

 

[alcyonecorporation]

HA!

 

IN YOUR FACE EBAY BOAT CRANK!

 

Negative feedback removed! Go and cry on your dinghy and work on your sense of entitlement, or something.

PS:

 

This person has an item for sale 'or best offer'.

 

I'm tempted to ask if it could be delivered to the States or China in six days, whether it's compatible with puffins, or whether or not it'll fit on my remote control catamaran (that I worked exceedingly long hours to buy).

I don’t do twitter but apparently Salisbury cathedral account is now ( tongue in cheek) offering Russian language translations and vodka in the tea rooms. “ come for the novichok, stay for the cathedral tour” strapline.

My black rescue cat Casper is useless - real mummy's boy, couldn't catch a cold. However, I'm out in the garden late at night a few days back and my faithful Casper at my side as usual (he's my shadow) when 'something' came into the back garden. Casper went nuts and started going snooker loopy, shot off into the bushes and full on attacked the interloper - lots of hissing and....er.....yelping. Yes, yelping.

 

Interloper shot out the garden, came back in again, Casper full on attack mode again. More yelping and hissing. Much rustling of bushes and out came interloper not two foot from me. Fox, probably one of this year's cubs. I said to him 'You don't belong in here mate', and the fox shot off, exit stage right.

 

Casper - my hero.

Just watched HubNut’s meshhhhheerrsmmitttt video. Looked like driving a loose conglomeration of fast moving parts!

 

Waiting for him to film 40mph in reverse!

Due to an administrative oversight by my employers I've been getting less leave than I should have done since 2014, so I've got about three weeks of accrued leave suddenly owed to me that has to be used before the end of March.

 

My manager doesn't want to do without me for that amount of time (and I'm not sure what I'd do with myself anyway) so the organisation has agreed to pay me for the time instead

Are you planning a week of man flu???

[Guest Hooli]

When I cleared a load of my stuff out of my parent's loft at the weekend I got this back. It's not been on my wall for about 23 years, I think it's due a clean. Oh and the postitnote was applied when I moved to my second flat as it's got that postcode I could never remember on it.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Finding a practically unplayed box of Bartok's 'Mikrokosmos, Volumes I-VI' on my shelf that I had completely forgotten about.

[beko1987]

Just found and set up BPme! Quite excited to get fuel and try it now!
