What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I posted my Ford SUV for $11,500 OBO and this was the first, and only reply.

Kudos to anyone who runs, I just can't take to it myself. I don't mind on a machine at a gym, but I just can't face 'real life' running.

After a protracted period of nothingness, it looks like the Charade's wheels are here.

It IS a long way to china dude.

Thinking of trying 8k or so later today which will be the furthest I've done...

 

Made it 8.7k in under 50 minutes, which is probably pretty slow but in my defence it was hilly. And it's the furthest I've run.

I'm the opposite - I couldn't be done with a treadmill - for me the appeal is getting outside and seeing things. Prefer riding my bike for enjoyment, but like the simplicity of just running from time to time.

Interesting delivery at the Skoda dealers in Lincoln.

 

 

The 130 and Rapid had display number plates, so Skoda must have been buying them up and shipping out to dealers to add a bit of ironic retro chic to their showrooms.

[brickwall]

And it will work! Skoda now have a decent history although some of the cars back in the day had some very interesting paint colours.

On the subject of ties, Old Man used to be a helicopter engineer, and on a couple of occasions recieved ties as thanks. I have two BAe ATP ties, an HTV tie (he used to live in Barry), a Sea Wolf sea-air missile tie, an Air New Zealand one, and a Mount Cook Airline one (now Air NZ). 

Oh, and a Bridgestone truck tyre tie I found in a charity shop.

I'll quantify that for you: how many fit birds arses do you see whilst our running in the hills?

Should possibly be in the grumpy thread, but some of the replies on here are comical, especially the story about John Lewis selling Islamic clothing.

It's actually frightening how some people can be so stupid and actually be able to breathe in and out without someone standing next to them telling hem to do so.

Ms._Peel described the image of mentally challenged door-to-door washcloth salesmen to me earlier, they look like the types.

You don't hear much about the BNP any more, there must only be room for two crackpot parties in the media.

I've added a new thread to the Open Forums http://autoshite.com/topic/17813-joggers-bottom-for-the-shite-athlete-in-all-of-us/ so that we don't depress the rest of the shiters with our heart attack dodging antics.

Have just seen a 2CV in Egham with what appeared to be 2 great danes in the back instead of the seat - poking heads out of the open roof. Driven by a woman of mature years. Made me happy.

I have seen the Strathclyde Region tie in all its polyester glory. It is magnificent.

My eBay suggestions list is intriguing, but every now and then a little gem appears.

Holy crap. I assume the clock at the back is set an hour different to the one on the dashboard?

[cort16]

Man that's sweet . Wouldn't fancy driving it on a road with other traffic mind you .

And here it is.

 

 

They had a load of them on display in the museum.

In a locked, refrigerated cabinet no less. Truly special.

[vulgalour]

There are few things more satisfying than not only catching two local oiks (can't have been more than 10 years old) stealing the plain metal valve caps from Mikeknight's Porsche, tell them off from the doorway and then stand with arms folded while they shame-facedly put them back on the car.  Of course there was no apology and they legged it as quick as they could, but I've not seen them on the street since so maybe it's a lesson learned.

 

I didn't even have to swear at them and they didn't say a word.

^^^^what's a fair trade town supposed to mean??

[Richard]

I think a certain proportion of the goods on sale have to claim to be fair trade.

Shops stay closed in bad weather!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

There's a vending machine at my work that will sell you a bottle of 'fair trade' orange juice, for ONE POUND TWENTY!!!! Oh the irony. They've just moved the exploitation from one end of the supply chain to the other.

This is possibly the only reason I go to the gym.
