What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Yahoo motoring article claims discovering this item on your car can be “life changing”.

What is it? The sun visor being able to swivel round to the side window to block out the sun.

FFS! Next it will be “Motorist discover hidden middle pedal that prevents death!”

Tonights papanaşi came as a pair. 

IMG_20240528_180457.jpg.8b53cecebe4bb129d4e7bbab9c83e083.jpg

I finished them but I'll admit I struggled. It probably is a good job I don't live here. 

It's getting atmospheric outside too.

Luckily it was only a five minute walk back to the hotel.

Cake and beer? Now that is a combination I would not have dreamt of.

Little blue C1 is back with a new LUK clutch for £320. Got my money's worth out of the old one. Plate down to rivets, cover has fallen apart and fingers almost worn thru.

I came 2nd in a Dad's potato and spoon race today 🙂

20240531_143017.jpg.322961efde19a236b803316462d74c6e.jpg

I applied an engineering* strategy of holding the spoon loosely between my finger and thumb to act as a kind of crude suspension system to absorb the shocks from my running.

A lot of the other Dads were faster than me but they quickly dropped their potatoes. My strategy worked well and I didn't drop mine once. I didn't see the tactics of the winning* dad but I did hear some people say I was cheated out of first place. I didn't see if he had blu-tac on his potato or something though as I was concentrating too much 😂

My son also came second in his own similar race!

Papanași always have to be in pairs, it's the plural form. A single one should be a "papanaș", but nobody over here would dare to be such a cheapskate to sell them as singles.

Thanks, I didn't know that. The one I had the first night was a single one but it was bigger. I don't think I could have eaten two of those. The Romanian restaurant we used to have here in Southampton always sold them in pairs. They were obviously doing it properly.

Pissing around with Home Assistant last night I found a DVLA plugin 😂

Following the github instructions I now have an API key with 62 requests a month and have some sensors made from my car!

I wonder how far these API keys go 🤔 I could take requests and have it spit out emails when stuff happens/becomes due!
