What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

They aren't even that amazing imo. Certainly in Bristol we have plenty of independent burger places that an order of magnitude better and around the same price.

Admittedly five guys are better than McD.

Is that real? I’d do something more official looking at home.

That was the covering paperwork .Didn’t really want to put the original on the interwebs. It’s an important document you know ?

Cars really do look better in the dark!

Can't even see the cobwebs!

Additional grin in wondering what the friends of a (fairly posh) friend thought when they were introduced to a scruffy man wearing an old army jacket and smoking a rollie perched on the bootlid of a manky Volvo...

One of the girls did seem remarkably excited to introduce herself, she was also a nutter though

My jacket smells far too much of petrochemicals for me to be mistaken for a hipster.

I'd never heard of them until now, so that's some nice publicity for them! I wonder if eBuyer was particularly bothered? Does eBuyer even still exist?

[Rovorsche]

It does exist but it's more ebrowseThenBuyOnAmazon these days

New fuel accumulator for the Volvo arrived a full week sooner than I expected. Second grin; getting a full set of Toyo tyres for the Peugeot, which is exciting because I've never bought a full set in one go before

The online marketplaces claimed that ebuygumm.co.uk was confusing internet users and taking “unfair advantage” of their brands. 

This defence is based on considering their own customers dumb enough to make the confusion between ebuygumm, and ebay, or between ebuygumm and gumtree. Or on having the same importance on the web, which is laughable.

Ok, no photo, but this morning on my commute to work I saw a W-reg mk1 Laguna in red with 3 or 4 burly blokes in it joining the A1 from the A64 - it looked in good nick, but also just looked fantastic.

Hairnet going on holiday?

Does he actually work, he's always off somewhere.

[Cavcraft]

 Are you off on your moped to see that Irish girl that nobody has heard of sing in The Ratchet & Tanktop Inn again, @hairnet?

Cressing Road, Braintree. That's a C15 van behind the Fiat. Driven down this road hundreds of times and never noticed the cars and house before.

If you head towards town from there along Cressing Road, take a left down Clockhouse Way, there's a garden full of rotted out Range Rovers and a very overgrown 105e Anglia on the left

I followed these directions using the Google, and before I got to the Range Rover house I passed this:

Yes. A person who has chosen to live in a thirties house which has been vandalised so that it looks like a very shit castle has somehow amassed enough money to run a Porsche and a Maserati.
