What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

If you're in the market for some Mercedes Benz bunting and you want to know what sort of epic pedant you're going to be dealing with up front you could do a lot worse than this t&c-tastic listing:

Jesus wept, what a bag of laughs he is. Top find!

[Pillock]

Brown parcel tape? BROWN? I'm out.

I just read that Mercedes thong listing in my head in a nasal monotone voice to imagine the seller

Popped to Asda to grab the frozen dvd for me daughter. Decided that we really could do with a new DVD player too, so picked up a HDMI upscaling LG job for £35. Then SWMBO bought a frozen doll for £40! Expensive this spoiling your child lark, hope she's been good, not wasting £85 worth of shit cos she's had a paddy...

M25 this morning on the way to St. Albans........ I passed a car that I didn't recognise. Sort of Audi/BMW shaped. I then spotted the name plate.

 

TESLA. It was a model S, very nice indeed but a tad salty at £75,000.

Huh?  You'd think they'd be cheaper frozen, like mixed veg and chickens are.

 If you don't speed, you don't pay. 

Don't ever say that, anyone who has said that in the history of evah gets a speeding fine.

As for local authority parking control, mostly disgusting corrupt scum run by the offspring of the filthy cowards that hid under their mothers skirts while a couple of wars went down last century. I base this opinion on 15 years of driving all over the country gathering spurious tickets. My problem with them is that they don't deal effectively with parking, just whatever makes the most profit, which doesn't help us. See also litter wardens getting in a flap over fag butts not chav Maccy D detritus and pitbull turds.

That's nothing, I saw a Jago jeep on the way to work, it was very freaky and the plastic windows looked like it would make for an epic winter beater of distinction.

[vulgalour]

If you're able to be grimly determined to enjoy even the most miserable vehicle then a Jago anything is indeed an EWBoD.

Remains to be seen if it'll have any effect on the blatant anti-competitive practices that have [allegedly, m'lud] been going on.

I've just put a 1988 tax disc in the polo ready for tomorrow,my mate suggested putting a 1957 disc in to confuse the norms even more

I took the tax disc out of the Prelude today. Decided it looked all wrong without it and put it back again. I think I will leave it there forever.

Spoken like a 2CV driver...

Spoken like someone who's not seen how much fun I can have within the speed limit in my 2CV...

[wuvvum]

Hey, I've had three 2CVs, I know exactly how much fun you can have without ever going over 68mph.

Great Glaven's ghost, what a twonk.

 

 

The auction is prima facie.

What does that even mean???

It's something to do with cheap balaclavas isn't it?

[Bobthebeard]

'Will be packed in bubble wrap, or the equivalent'........

Oh dear....

Seller sounds like he/she may be a solicitor. Actual goods worth 50 pee. Legal jargon will cost ££££s.

Where did you get a period tax disc?

[Cavcraft]

Premium faeces, ergo the best shit money can buy. Only typed like a barrack room lawyer who studied Latin for ten minutes.

Period tax? WTF? Thankfully Mrs Beard is post menopause.

Yesterday I got an email from Breadvan (formerly of this parish) who very kindly offered me some parts for my Spyder, gratis, which included a new hood. Anyone who was at Chumley will know a new hood would be quite useful with winter approaching.

Whilst chatting about cars he mentioned he has now bought a Lotus Eclat and sent me this little image, which for some reason I don't think I'd t seen before, but this also made me grin

Funnily enough, I was tailgated by a Tesla S on the M25 around St Albans this morning...

OK, which of you bastards registered the name Windows 9 so that Microsoft have had to go straight from 8 to 10?

[twosmoke300]

Just a little bit differnt to paul weller but this is weird ( and nsfw)

[plasticvandan]

I did have a pile of old discs where the ink had faded so just put my cars details in for period effect,this one I cheated and just printed out from a PIC off eBay lol,looks good and was free

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Hey, I made that image. Maybe I should start a thread so people can ask me about intellectual property law.

 

(Joking, come back BV )

[vulgalour]

I miss Breadvan too

 

I'm going to set up a government petition to bring Breadvan back to Autoshite.  I expect you all to sign it and then make your own petitions that are slightly differently worded to the same effect so we can all sign those too.

Seeing as every other release of Windows is crap...

 

 

...does this mean that we'll miss out on a decent version then?
