What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[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.

 

[KruJoe]

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. 

[purplebargeken]

Can I claim the AS spot of the month please. Two, yes, TWO red Citroen BX's spotted on the M3 today. They looked pretty bloody tidy as well. Sadly no pics as I was too stunned by the mystical event.

 

I then poked myself in the eyes with a passing pineapple swiped from one of the trillion VeeDubs that I also saw - purely as punishment for not taking a picture. I am sorry. 

[Cavcraft]

No, that was won by the Mk1 Astra saloon.

[dollywobbler]

There's a fair chance one of those red BXs was on its way to Stratford. A chap from down that way came to visit today. 

[purplebargeken]

It looked bloody nice if it was the same chap.

[dollywobbler]

Did it have a full bodykit? He was in a 16valve. 

This one.

[purplebargeken]

It is possible as the second one went past fairly quickly and to my then overwhelmed mind looked as if it was the sporty version. The body kit thing may have hoodwinked me. The first one was driven by a woman who looked to be in her 50's or 60's. So that kind of rules out the bloke thing unless he wore a blonde wig. 

 

Seeing 3 red BX in one morning would have meant that I had died and gone to AS heaven. I'm not dead but appear to live in hell (London N9).
