What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Cavcraft]

Could you post a link when done please? Cheers.

 

 

Making me grin today was getting off my fat arse and going for a walk with my daughter. Not really done that in a while and today we went down a local cycle path through the countryside and round some lanes on the way back. Must have done about 8 miles and took in a carboot sale 2/3rds of the way round where plant related tat was bought. Not much shite spotted though a very tidy and surprisingly unrusty Sierra estate was pretty cool.

Mates birthday yesterday. We all got cidered up and swam in the sea under the moonlight at 4am. Made me happy!

Excellent! Sounds like the sort of thing I would do. Christmas Day off Fishermans' Quay FTMFW!!

good to know the england team are useless

 

the roads were empty this afternoon while they were losing

 

i hope those poxy flags now dissappear as rapidly as the smiles of the spectators

I came back from Stoke today, the very very long way, just so I could be driving decent roads at 3pm. Bliss, I came up from Derby past Carsington, Ashover, and then stopped to sunbathe on top of Black Rock for a while.

Yesterday, with my Dad explaining what all the weapons are. He was born after the war. Hand grenades and the Lee Enfield .303. My father won the crossed rifles at Bisley, the first person from Northern Ireland to do so. RAF.

 

In 1991 I won the crossed rifles at the Challenge in my home town of Carrick.

 

Faugh a ballagh!

Anyway, with the football themed damage to the Merc, to cheer myself up I decided to download that cricket themed album, The Duckworth Lewis Method. Quite, quite pleasant.

 

(Oh and the Johnny Fartpants T shirt I got from ASDA yesterday is making me smile too.)

I just saw this lot pootling along the A9, nice work! A lot more heroic than the usual charity rally effort of driving a 15 year old Mondeo a few hundred miles across Europe.

[pogweasel]

Cool.

 

Shame most of the lasses there are munting 10-pinters (though there are a couple I would offer a good thacking to).

I would like to see this event undertaken by bona-fide HOTTIES who would be permitted only to wear bikinis and wellies.

'Massey Ferguson, new in 1965...'

 

Is Vicky Pollard packing a trouser snake there?

[MrDuke]

Yes, I know it's an ancient game, but...

 

Today, I discovered to my unbridled delight, that you can actually

, for REAL, in Colin McRae DIRT. With that actual car, with a bumper-mount 'camera', and everything.

You bitter men! They look alright to me. Most of them.

Anyway, they must be pretty autoshite-friendly if they're driving ancient tractors for 1000 miles.

Maybe they are men after all.

I dunno Milford, I reckon Alan Partridge was right about farmers. Wonder if she does have 20 foot high chickens in a shed?

Mrs RP has decided I need another project and has purchased a 64 Imp unseen and dry stored for 10 years for the princely sum of £150 , tis up to me to arrange its collection though .

Im still in utter shock as she often moans about the tat floating about here and the constant oily mess that abounds with such hobbys

Bless her

PS she didnt even ask what colour it was so a surprise coming then

Thacking

 

When a dwarf like homosexual sucks you off with out you noticing, he can also make your bell end bleed. They usually attempt to T-Bag you until the scrotum splits!

Matty stop thacking your brother john!

Just watching Nuns on the run that I bought of eBay last week for 99p, I forgot how much old shite there was in the film! The getaway car Robbie Coltrane drives was a brown Sierra Base with the fancy door mirrors and they have just stolen a Y reg Toyota Corolla 4 door! BADASS!!

Bumping into an old and good friend at the Scrap yard made me grin today.

 

Even had a great 30 minutes removing an entire hub assembly in a shower of oil, petrol, sparks and rain.

 

Although i did get abit worried when he smashed his wrist with a hammer after missing the ball joint splitter.

 

Love Working On Cars

[Hudsonpie]

Finding work after a year of unemployment.....£10.25 an hour to sit on my arse......getting back on line after my old computer bought the farm back in April.....I have missed Autoshite greatly....buying an 02 MG ZR.....bear with me....an MG ZR, 69,000 miles with full history. The HG was done by me three years ago....properly. Its been garaged all its life and had one owner, I gave five hundred quid for it and am pleased as punch.... My little girl got a glowing school report, I love you Piper....

Have a Solara....

I dunno what makes me happier Hudsonpie - the work situation, the Daughters report, the MG or the Solara. But thanks for sharing, good to see somebody enjoying some good fortune (and sharing a Solara of course!)

[brammy777]

A college friend just bought a new car as a project. Bare in mind his everyday car is Halfords special Corsa B. Any ideas? Nope, youre wrong. Him and his dad have just bought a MKIV Zodiac, ffs. Its a beauty too.

[Cavcraft]

+1.

 

Excellent news all round there Hudsonpie, congratulations.

[barrett]

I thought looking at the picture and body of text you had just bought a Solara... Frankly, i'm disappointed in you.

 

Welcome back, good to hear such good news to offset all the grumps round here!

[brammy777]

Oh yeh forgot to mention this: The other day I saw a D21/Hardbody Nissan pickup with a camper body on it, pretty rare so I took a photo. Turns out it hasnt been taxed for 12 years because no one told the DVLA its had a change of owner. Whoooooops. How on earth have they managed to evade the system for so long!

 

Oh yeh also, Hudsonpie welcome back! I wondered where you had got to. Great spot there too.

[CIH]

welcome back Hudsonpie but that posy would have been so much better if you had actually bought the Solara...
