What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Jon]

After 4 years of planning, hard work and a fair bit of cash, I go this little note attached to my passport today.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bye Bye UK!

 

 

[ChinaTom]

^ congratulations. I remember when wifey's residence permit for UK finally came through - we sat and stared at it for hours.

[Negative Creep]

Sold the van. Had 5 different people texting wanting to view and to be honest I was totally lost who I was supposed to be telling what. . First person came around and offered a little less than i wanted, but I needed shot so off it went. Hopefully I can afford something when I get back to the UK in 3 weeks. Quite fancy a Saab or BMW............

[mattblack]

^^^LOL

 

HereHareHere - Welcome!

 

HereHareHere - Withnail and I?

 

PS....Mattblack, how was the pie - looks good that. Like one of my Mum's which are GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!

 

 

PIE WAS GR8!

[Cavcraft]

Had one of those rare 'fell in a bucket of shit and came out smelling of roses' moments. Looked like I was going to be fucked over for shite storage but the council came up trumps right at the death.

My scooter and other tat now has a roof over it's head and I can see said storage from bedroom window. Days of much happiness.

The CX works!! Finally found the fuel pump relay (conveniently tucked away beneath the RH headlamp) unplugged it, replugged it and away she went! It is infuriating how such a minor niggle can cripple a car like that.

[Mr Lobster]

The CX works!!

 

But for how long.....

Well, I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts! Just a quick drive reminds you how remarkable these machines truly are, and why enthusiasts put up with the odd gremlin!

[Louise2cv]

Firstly excuse this initial bit of bad news...

 

Abby is going off the idea of an Allegro.

 

"Boo-hiss" I hear you cry!

 

BUT - the reason for this change of heart?

 

She has discovered...

 

*drumroll*

 

...The Austin Princess!

 

She's busily browsing adverts for these babies now.

 

Who'd have thought that my glamourous sister would become my shite-hero?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

This made me LOL today.

Looks like a very attractive village garage, complete with attended fuel service, and a quick drive-past on Google Streetview showed that they previously did Yugo and Dacia!! http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 53.51,,0,5

 

Putting Mr Childs into ultimate legend status, he said he wouldn’t do the scrappage scheme as he didn’t trust the Government, and I suspect partly he felt bad about the cars that would have been wasted. It seems he currently runs around in a 30yr old Merc W123 and has a collection of “too many†old cars (Land Rovers seemed to be his main thing). I’d love to pay a visit to him.

 

If you do go there, check around the back, there appears (On GoogleEarth at least) to be a White Nissan Bluebird and a K10 Micra with greenery growing around it at the back lot carpark.

 

Well done Cav_Estate for getting your visa, hope you enjoy NZ and find what you are looking for.

Two reasons for grinnage yesterday to make up for the NON STOP RAIN...

 

On my journey home I spotted an parked A reg Austin Ambassador, light metallic green, A*** GFX ... my BX is LFX so registered in the same area (Bournemouth/Poole). I couldn't stop to get a photo...

 

Then, minutes from my house, I met a Hillman Super Minx coming the other way, with an A-suffix registration. Nice to see something like that being driven on such a wet day.

 

On the down side today I've discovered the BX has a very soggy boot carpet

 

Mark.

This kind of made me grin but also annoyed me a little.

 

Sat looking out the window at my Dad's place in London which is pretty good for 'spots' of various kinds. Anyway, I need confirmation or information of sorts.

 

 

...A Mk3 Astra Estate was parked in a traffic jam, and noticed that the last 1/2 or so of the roof was raised very slightly, maybe an inch at the most. Are they all like this? I've not exactly studied their roof skin much in the past, but never noticed this before.

 

Made me grin 'cos it's one of those things you've possibly seen a thousand times but never noticed..

 

Cheers.

[pogweasel]

Are they all like this?

yes.

[Gompo]

Are they all like this?

yes.

 

Cheers. I are spazmo.

 

My shit excuse is that they usually have roofbars obscuring the view.

Mrs Cohen calls the classified line of the Jewish Chronicle as she wants to place an announcement, She says "Morris Cohen's dead." That's it? asks the classified manager. "Yes," says Mrs Cohen, "that's it." But, urges the JC man, "You're entitled to six words. You get three more. And they're free." Mrs Cohen says she will think about it. Finally she rings back. After due consideration she has found her three missing words: "Morris Cohen's dead; Volvo for sale"

Lesbians who look like the chuckle brothers.

That is all.

 

I'm sure there's a monumental joke to be made around "to me, to you" and dildos, but I'm way too tired to think about it now...

^Plenty of them in Basingstoke, trust me. Always fun working out which one is Barry and which one is Paul.

I went on the tube for the first time since that massive panic attack I had on the Northern Line a few months ago and I was fine. Thats it, thats the last 'hurdle' I had to overcome. Such a relief!

I saw two pairs in the supermarket last week. It's true that one takes the role of the man, I even worked with one who said she was 'the man' in the relationship (ie. short hair, men's clothing, etc). I've also found one is attractive, while the other isn't, in some cases. Those lesbians, eh?

[warren t claim]

I wonder if there is such a thing as a "lesbian car"?

[Quintus]

A quick search of Google images for 'lesbian car' throws up a number of interesting results. That's with safe search off though...

[eddyramrod]

I wonder if there is such a thing as a "lesbian car"?

 

In my experience (I've worked with a few) whatever it is will be small, Japanese and bought new or nearly-new. Even the hefty Phil-Mitchell-a-like who drove trucks with me had a Micra!
