What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

installed parking sensors for my elderly grandparents today

did zero measurements, didnt even check if my holes were level

i’ve never installed parking sensors before and i’m incredibly happy with how it turned out

really simple job to do, with zero hiccups either!

so yeah quite happy with that

Went to booths and they have children's interpretive posters in the windows for the coronation.  Corgis, cakes, crowns etc. One child has attempted to draw Charles, but sadly it's come out more like Count Von Count from sesame street.

Great day had. 

Had a visit from @AnnoyingPentiumtoday.

He brought me a present. A mix CD of dance tracks specifically for listening in the Cavalier. Aye, it reminded me of the evenings spent doing laps of the toon or going to cruises at the retail parks. 

Shit! I feel old now 😂. 

Got some car stuff done too, but I'll let him tell yous about it.

Was lovely to pop back doon for a much needed catch up. Thanks for having me.

Thanks for fitting the sunstrip thingy as well, was nice to get the three motors together too.

Next time I feel like kicking the shit out of a pensioner or slapping a kid I know where to go

Took a picture in Stockton heath,this car makes me smile like I've just seen a puppy 

didn't notice the shop behind until someone pointed it out, though both could apply, one for the car and one for the driver

I took the induction kit off because it was really annoying, it's got the standard exhaust on which is just a bit of a burble, though I'm reading about a monza exhaust with a noisy/not noisy valve on it

The valves sieze in noisy mode within about 6 months, I had two replacements on mine under warranty. They're just sprung and open up under load. Truth be told they aren't too loud really even when stuck open

Nearest waitrose is Otley, which is great if you want to spend 40 minutes in stop start traffic each way. Ilkley is a lot nicer to visit, and of course it's how you shop not where you shop.

You can get a nice jacket potato and chilli with cheese in Booths. Terrible heartburn after though 😖

I've got that horrible feeling that these kids might get jobs at the NHS... or, maybe, as health minister.

Picked my eldest up from College.

Watched the exodus - students were split into two groups.

Those glued to their phones and the rest seemed to have an air of confusion - they reminded me of the returnees at the end of Close Encounters of the third kind when they walk out of the mothership having lost twenty odd years.

My daughter went to edge hill, the scousers uni 

On graduation day some of the mothers and sisters looked like they'd just finished a shift at a strip club. 

Mums were tits out, sisters in dresses that looked like they'd been painted on, about 2" below their arse cheeks 

I thought I be this isn't happening at Oxford and Cambridge l

TBH I’m 17 stone and I’ve been using an old milk crate of uncertain provenance as a handy foot stool for years now. I expect I’m rather heavier than that engine.

Not sure I’d want an engine landing on my face though if there was a sudden crate related failure.
