What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Supernaut]

Half grin, half bricking it.

I'm getting on a train on the 21st, all the way down to Stoke on Trent.

 

I'll be there for a week, then driving a van all the way back north again. Said van will also have a lot of PPE and other gear in it, related to installing and repairing fibre internet connections...

 

It's a collection mission of sorts!

Having recently discovered that MX-5 drivers wave to each other when passing, it now appears that it's also a thing with Rover 75 owners, as I got a wave earlier from a chap in a rather smart black facelift saloon.

Also on the way in to work this morning I passed a youngish lad driving rather enthusiastically round the roundabout on the northern bypass.  In a russet brown Triumph Toledo.  

I would start a waving club for 305 vans but I've yet to see one, so that's a non starter.

Got fucked over by Scousers, spent an hour and a half on site, instead of 15 mins.

 

As an apology...

A 2009 chaved up insignia. Blacked out windows, grill delete stupid fucking alloys, you know the type. Revving his engine at morrisons in Shields covering the car park in grey acrid smoke. He speeds away from the roundabout gets 100 yards and pulls over. His engine has begun to run away! Hahahaha. The kids and I run the full length of the car park to watch as he sits in the car on his phone. 5 mins later the engine comes to an abrupt halt. made my day. All Vauxhalls are shit.....

I gave someone in a 2.2 omega with no rear boot spoiler a wanker sign yesterday.  

I mean letting the side down.

My first paper in an academic journal is published today - I may have spent the morning telling Missus Snagglepuss that as I am now an eccentric academic I can do what I want, which has resulted in learning more scottish swearwords than I knew existed

Shite behind shite

Alan Partridge mode: 

Idea for a television show.

 

I don't watch Love Island obviously. But I would watch Slag House.... 30 slappers and 30 lads.... most acquired from a random jobcentre.  (ASBO preferable) Set in a 3 bed council house.

Just checked my emails. One of my "sign up for random shit" accounts had this beauty sat waiting for me.

 

I dream of making love to you slowly like turtles…

Greetings, my dear! I hope to find a great passion and I’m twenty three years old. Do you wish to know how many play things it's possible to put inside my bum? Perhaps you might want to help me in this? Get in touch with me faster, my body need to have a warm fingers! My pictures and personal contacts are in my personal profile! look here

 

Nearly spat tea on my monitor.

[MondeoBlues]

Took the 309 out for a spin. So far it hasn't failed to put a smile on my face.

I might give it a name.

[Aston Martin]

An engine with wheels.

Son, who was having so much shite in his first year as a teacher and resigned to finish at the end of term, has got on the PWC graduate scheme as an trainee auditor leading to become a chartered accountant and eventually managed to pass his NQT so if he ever wanted to do private tutoring, it would be easier.  

Just waiting on daughter's pre-reg exam results next week to find out if after 5 years of study, she's a fully qualified pharmacist or if she has to retake. 

The exam appears to be mental.  They could be asked anything. Some of the answers? 2 out of 4 are right. But one of those is more right  pass Mark is 90% I think.

Much like pilots in my experience.

You're not wrong about pilots

You can't tow anything with a Mustang, not approved to tow in the EU but that hasn't stopped a few numpties importing a tow bar from the US , one guy was asking about towing so I pointed out that it wasn't legal and you're probably voiding your insurance

Oh I wasn't going to tow my glider with it

 

How do you know if somebody has read Game Of Thrones, oh they'll tell you , just wait

[twosmoke300]

Is that like mustang owners ? ??

I don’t think there were quite enough stamps on this package I received today.

 

 

Most of them date from the mid-eighties!

I don’t think so, just a generic 1980s spectacles wearing Dad.

FTFY because according to the interwebs, all modern Mustangs in this world eventually end up crashing into something.

Just helped the old lad get his iveco home after it snapped it's throttle cable.
We jammed it open just enough to trickle home at 15/20 mph.

So, whilst looking at how much the house just the road is from where SiL lives, do you answer her her comment when she saw the price of "fuck me"!

Just stopped the guy on my road that owns the XM (it must be the shitest one that's still road legal). 

'Sorry, just thought I'd let you know your sunroof's open' 

'Ah yes, you see none of the windows work so I thought I'd air it. Anyway, it's pointing uphill, so even if it rains not much water will get in. Of course, if I park it facing downhill then it leaks whether its open or not...'

Applied to be apprentice bike mechanic.

Tell mate that's in the cycling scene, gets me a reference in exchange for a week or so of work experience in a different, one-man bike shop.

Head down, take my most recent bike build with me as quasi-CV.

One and a half hours in I'm asked if I can run the shop for two weeks next month while the owner's on holiday, paid.
