What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Cavcraft]

As long as it's not being 'accidentally' chased by a load of inbred, braying wankers on horses.

I think our new dog has a pretty good approach to life...this is her currently flopped in front of the air conditioning outlet.

In the interests of balance, here's the other one earlier today...

This thread just gave me big grins over the last two pages. 

Thanks all ?

....and perhaps someone tripping over the cable, followed by an accident lawyer.

FTFY

Walking back from the park with the dog I saw a Police van driving through the council estate we go through.

Nearly stopped them and asked them if they were lost.

Caught some prick fly tipping a couple of weeks back. Made him pick up what I saw him chuck and put it into his car, but unfortunately there was some other stuff he'd hidden which I missed. Took the missus to work last night, familiar looking vehicle going down a drive way. Picked her up this morning, same car (which rang a bell from somewhere) was coming out of the same drive way. Guess who it was? Someone's getting their shit back with a bit of interest on top early one morning.

Left home almost a week ago as I was fed up with the miserable weather, and headed to Chez Saabnut Fr

At 1030 ECT as I was heading for the morning Croissants, the temp was 34c. The Saab was still in the shade of the barn where it was parked yesterday

In the sun it is showing 39c

Just like* Aberdeenshire

She'll be lulling you into a false sense of security, and will pounce at the drop of a dog treat.....

Still grinning! Only an idiot who tolerates Scottish summers (the rain is slightly warmer) would still be grinning.

Had to go to the supermarket as beer stocks were getting low. In the shade of the barn, this was the temperature:

As I got home, this was the temperature in the supermarket car park

Trust you bought plenty of beer to compensate for that sort of temperature.

[Saabnut]

Oh yes!

I've just come back along the M56 in the van with all the windows open, it's awful, fan is blowing hot air in your face while the usually cooler air coming in the side windows is just the same , couldn't wait to get out of it

 

Got tickets for carfest north tomorrow , I'm really hoping it cools down a bit

More likely to spend his life raiding bins and being the UK equivalent of a raccoon now he's developed a taste for wiring harnesses.

 

I imagine he'll still walk straight past anything French.

Sheltering in my study (because smallest room) down in Sussex with dehumidifyer to try and make the conditions bearable. Unfortunately it's upstairs and upstairs will be significantly hotter than downstairs for a while.

[Wack]

Got tickets for carfest north tomorrow , thankfully the temperature is going down 

 

[Wack]

I bought a pair of chrome front bumpers from a boot sale , thought I might get them re chromed to increase the value as they're rough 

 

That'll be a no then 

 

[MikeR]

The old shite car market is crashing isn't it? Prices are all over the shop and I'm seeing stuff for sale at reasonable prices again?

Anyone else noticed? 

[HillmanImp]

I should probably crosspost to the grumpy as if I'm right I might live to regret buying a rusty 944 at the peak......

Yes I have noticed this and very much so. Some of it is a seasonal thing. Late winter, early spring people buy the minters for summer fun. Early winter people buy their winter projects. Right now it's that intermediate time when stuff doesn't sell. Usually though stuff comes on now and hangs around until Sept-Oct till it drops as a bargain. After school holidays are over those bargains get snapped up. Likewise December-January time is another bargain period. 

However I have noticed the slow down before then. Stuff that is reasonably priced and mint is selling. Those that are scrap and priced accordingly does too. Stuff in the middle that is functional but a bit shabby, just isn't selling. 

Also I think people are holding off expensive purchases until the big B is over. Especially as there is so much uncertainty and the economy worldwide is a bit shaky at the moment. 

Pretty certain I was the only one looking at the Sprint I bought. It's why I think I got it for a very good price - compared to earlier this year/last.

Bloody hell. Marina has some competition on the 944 page on Facebook. 

Could do with some leather restorer.

Just had text message from daughter.  She is now officially a fully qualified, pharmacist. 

She's done her 4 years at uni, and her year as a pre-reg and taken the final exam a few weeks back.  Now she's able to start her new job in a hospital in Manchester. 

So fucking proud. My wife will be relieved. Our job is done* (never done)
