What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[trigger]

Me and Mrs T getting a lift home from a party with a pair of on duty policemen in a Focus Estate last night whilst dressed a pirates made me LOL a lot!

[wuvvum]

Spring is definitely here - the Sabberton Omen was out today.

 

Also making me grin was passing my old Laguna on the Norwich ring road (I always like seeing my old cars around), and then seeing a slightly battered E-reg Suzuki Alto up for sale with loads of T&T for £225 - my wallet was itching I can tell ye. In fact I might even trundle back up there after work tomorrow and see if it's still for sale.

Why were the policemen dressed as pirates? Is this a new policy for dealing with smugglers at the docks?

I'd like to know what makes Professor Brian Cox grin, the cunt grins constantly even when talking. Good job he's not a policeman telling someone that their beloved has passed away.

It's an awesome series though

Having bought 6 tyres for the Land Rover for £45. 3 brand new unused/fitted, and 3 only slightly worn, one a tiny bit kinked where it's had something resting on it, ALL the same tread pattern Goodyear G90 10 ply light truck radials. That, and slowly getting outside a large bottle of Jameson's. And a cuddly kitten. AND actually managing to make a flat pack IKEA wardrobe first time with no bits left over!

Visiting my Mini today for the first time in ages made me grin. I'll grin a load more when I can actually afford to get it back on the road though.

Started using mine again after at least six months, I walked straight past the TVR and into the Mini, glorious day, sensible fuel economy and smiles all round.

Yeah, Minis are great! Who wants to make me grin and buy ours? Earn as discount by convincing my wife to allow me to buy that Alfa.

I think real pirates would do a better job then the port police!

I suppose he feels that things can only get better?.

Speaking of Minis... Cyprus Mini Club had a weekend run to Paphos this weekend, culminating in an Autotest in a car park this morning. Naturally I went along for a look, in the Granada; a couple of other members of our club turned up too so we put on a little display. Those BMW handbag things are huge and ugly next to real Minis, aren't they! You'll be pleased to know the trophies all went to A-series cars...

Not sure if we've had this before, but I suspect an Autoshite Services to the Industry Award must be due at some point, despite the lack of autoshite in the video...

Gets right on my tits.

Recently did a job for sisks at their new waste processing plant in sunny* Runcorn, the fugging H&S down there was mental.

There was a railway line through the site, not Network Rail, but because of this line that had one train a week, everyone had to wear full orange, hat & boots like on the proper railway (I'll come back to that). Not so bad but NR stipulate that you can only wear lace-up ankle boots. These are fine on ballast, but this site was a fucking swamp, and within 30 seconds the silt was over the tops and into your socks. Great work. Then, you may ONLY wear approved (i.e. BFO) gloves, which you can't use a pencil & paper with, and you can't press the buttons on the old theodolite properly. Best bit by a fugging long way though was the "safety" glasses. They only have one 'approved' sort, that doesn't go over normal specs... so they recommend that you take your prescription ones off. If you're short-sighted as I am that is a pretty fucking dangerous bit of safety.

 

Oh and back to Network rail, why you now have to wear horrid, sweaty, scratchy full orange when jeans used to be fine - some numpty got literally smacked up the arse by a train doing 5mph, because he was bent over facing away from it and the driver didn't see him. Cheers guys.

Nabbed! Should've been a clip-on tie, surely?

Just booked flights to Miami - I'm off to see the next (& possibly last) space shuttle launch.

I've delivered to that site and can only echo Pogs comments. Mind you, any site run by Balfour Beatty is usually an H+S nightmare as well. How they get any work done at all surprises me. The redeveloped hospital in Salford is about as bad as it gets.

Mrs T was moaning as the Escort hasn't got a CD player so she can't listen to her Girls Aloud crap, so I'm pretty happy that I've just bagged this tidy looking Kenwood CD player with a AUX outlet for a Ipod on ebay for £21 inc DElivery, Just hope it all goes ok now!.

Is she using the Escort now? Respect!

[scaryoldcortina]

Don't you need aux input for an ipod? aux out is for running amps with....

[trigger]

The image is bonked Phil, is that the Ford ISO cable?, I just bought one of those for £1.98 of ebay as well, I remember the last time i bought one it being over £8 from Motormania!

 

Dicky - She will be, It's still having new wheel arches and battery tray fitted for the MOT but once it's back it will be her everyday car, She really enjoys driving it as well, Genuinely!

 

SOC - You just need a 3.5mm Jack to 3.5mm jack lead i believe like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1m-HQ-Gold-Plated ... 23090ad52c, The CD players in the cranes at work run trough the AUX port ok.

[scaryoldcortina]

yeah, my sony has a jack socket aux in on the front, I was just wondering if you had a pair of phonos on the back as aux out and had the two confused

 

which reminds me, My dad has an ipod and a sony cd in the car. Last time I was visiting, he asked me to set up a FM transmitter thingy on the Ipod so he can listen to it through the stereo... I pointed to the aux in socket and asked him what he thought it was for, he said "headphones"

The FM thing was virtually useless due to the FM band being full, he now uses a jack to jack lead instead.
