What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[gm]

the parts to fix my broken mx5 arrived this morning

and as it wasn't chucking it down I got stuck in

took about three hours but fired up on the first turn of the key - making me very happy indeed

Are diesel cold starts a competitive Autoshite thing.?

Just a quick Wimpy revisited if you don't mind.

Here in Nottingham we lost ours in January due to shopping centre redevelopment

Parents used to regularly take me to the one in St Albans - tried fruitlessly to find a 1970s/80s photo of it with associated chod, but no dice thus far.

Anyway, Brown Derby....say no more

Sorry it’s not Wimpy related (I used to enjoy going the few times we could afford it) but seeing this made me smile today. 

Not sure I can justify ponying up for Disney+ but isn’t baby Yoda so cute!

I think he's creepy as f*ck.  Soz.

Just spent over an hour that I was supposed to be sleeping, reminiscing about some of my cooler Dinky toys that I had / friends had as a kid.

.... Wimpy on Blatchington Rd in Hove now appears to have transmogrified into a KFC.

Bet they don't give you proper crockery and metal cutlery...

....or fish and chips in a box on a plate.

On a similar nore, the Burger King in Chester ahs finally closed. How it stayed open as long as it did is a total mystery. The place was an absolute shit hole, c/w ripped benches etc and you'd be lucky if you ever saw anyone in there ever.

the one on the a55 is a shithole also - so is the maccys at abergele

There's a Burger King in Chesterfield, and it's literally just an old Little Chef with a Burger King sign on. All the interior still has little chef seats, carpets and decoration etc. It's rough as arsehole. It's a shame cos I do like a whopper now and again.

 

Make sure to use the app , a whopper meal is regularly £3.99 

[Wack]

I'd like to rent a van , how much , fuck that , I'm pissed anyway

There's  a Wimpy in Farnborough. I was in the area for work last autumn and recently went back for a weekend and the a Wimpy is still there.

One in Aldershot too,although it's not a separate shop,but is the food court inside the shopping centre.

[strangeangel]

Inexplicably, there is still a Wimpy in the centre of Huddersfield.

After years of beating the shit out of stuff in the vice or on the aide of the bench I recently bought a decent sheet metal folder after many years thinking about it. Tonight I decided to give it a go on 4 mounts I need to make. 

Turns out I can't use it to get two angles at different angles so out with the BFH and vice.

Just seen an Astra van for sale, £20k.
Fucking hilarious.

Depending what was in the back, that could be an absolute bargain. 

[xtriple]

Got the offer accepted on my Snap-on Die Grinder bits - £90 for 4! Oh well, Kyle should be happy, or not!

Been back for years. Only normally Graham ..  

 

It was a Sunday of Stourbridge finest - pwei, neds and stuffies.

 

 

Highlights of weekend include the legends that are the Sultans of ping, sice, Jim Bob, Tony Wright (including flogging me vinyl from his car boot (Corsa for those that care)) and the wedding present

 

Disappointed by Bob Mould, cast, lighting seeds and Babybird.

 

 

 

I now seem to have misplaced my jumper

 

 

 

Wow, I haven't seen the Sultans of Ping since their support act was Radiohead.

[The Moog]

Probably best band of weekend....

You sure you didn't do a @binhoker668 and sell it to one of the band members?

A typical Friday in the western isles.
