What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread


Recommended Posts

Making the most of the last few days in France. Stopped for a photo of a Fiat Palio Weekend, glanced up another street and saw a SEAT Marbella. This just after I'd got shots of a Renault 6, Matra Simca Bagheera and Lada Niva.

Grumpy all week apart from Monday evening, a memorable test drive today.

Finally got my old 523i back tonight, bought it from @prepace and sold it two years ago, regretted it ever since. 
 

Big smile all the way home, better than I remember, bloke I sold it to seems to of looked after it fairly well though of course he’s broken the cup holders!

Most prepackaged mashed potato will have dairy products within.

Packets of peanuts have the warning “contains nuts” and bread wrappers say “contains wheat”. I know peanut allergies are very serious and traces of peanuts in other food can be dangerous, but surely no one would eat a peanut and say “ why didn’t someone warn me?”

Some people choose not to consume animal products, some people are allergic to dairy. You are being obtuse.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t be warned of hidden ingredients that aren’t obvious unless you’re well informed or a trained chef, but I’m just saying things that are blindingly obvious , nuts in nuts, milk in dairy , and wheat in bread, must be there for seriously stupid people .

It's just a way to signify whether this potato product does or does not contain dairy products

I have closed my facebook. It seems nobody uses it for it's intended purpose any more - my friends post very little and neither do I so there is no point.

I now have no social media.

Nor me, never have had. Seem to be surviving quite well without it.

Facebook is handy for impulsively buying more cars, the Zastava, ZAZ, both BX's, Audi 100 and ZX are all finds that I would have missed otherwise.

I never post anything on Facebook though, that part is no fun at all!

Saw a LHD lowered, freshly painted, yellow lighted Mk. 1 Renault Trafic in Cambridge. Couldn’t work out if it was visiting from France or not as it has weird plates: I wouldn’t normally be interested in such things but it was so bloody cool looking! Then I saw it again later in my village when we went for a walk— got to tell them it was a cool van. 
 

I think I want as early Trafic now

I was just thinking about this car the other day and how nice it was.

Maxed out memory, 112,766 sheets printed since 1993. That's about 3800 sheets a year on average.

Only just run in.

My mate had one on a T plate. Black, black leather and manual. Lovely and smooth but not a racer.

Oh...this counts as social media? That could be an issue...
