What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[dollywobbler]

Nice one Dave. Nice when that's done rather than 'taped up cuz it leeks.'

[fairkens]

Shed delivered on Friday, put it up yesterday. Big grin as now have somewhere to put the bikes and can demolish the knackered pergola they were chained to

Your domestic appliances are our concern.

I was wondering how cold it was outside (due to home brew stuff), and remembered I had left my £4 ebay OBD dongle plugged into the car out on the road so I bluetoothed into it and it said 9 degrees. Well, I still had to walk out there and click the ignition on first though but nevermind I still feel like inspector gadget.

I have just realised that I could just have clicked the button on the end of the indicator stalk to switch the display to temperature. Or looked on BBC weather. Or used a mercury thermometer, using technology that dates back hundreds of years.

Driving along the Wolds this afternoon, there was the most beautiful sunset. Autumn's not all bad.

I have just realised that I could just have clicked the button on the end of the indicator stalk to switch the display to temperature. Or looked on BBC weather. Or used a mercury thermometer, using technology that dates back hundreds of years.

 

I use a Raspberry Pi, with a one-wire temperature sensor hooked up to a GPIO pin, networked into my router, running a Cron job that reads the sensor and uploads to an online service every 10 minutes. There's one sensor outside the front of the house and one in the dining room, so at any time I choose I can see a historical graph of temp over time and how inside and outside compare. That seems to be the simplest way of finding out the temperature. 

 

What is this "thermometer" you speak of? Is it wired or wireless?

All this dirty vacuum cleaner talk made me think we were missing something here, like a 'shameless cars and vacuum cleaners' thread, so I nipped outside with a feisty little Japanese model who was more than willing. Her full name's Hitachi CV-50D. I know she looks quite young but she hides her age well and was born in the mid-80's.

 

 

 

 

Almost straight away, she was on the bonnet, showing us her WELL USED UNDERCARRIAGE and her DIRTY PIPE. Her one-touch retractable power cord is teasingly unfurled and she's just gagging to be TURNED ON!

 

 

 

 

Then, it's straight in to the back seat, where she can stretch out a bit and tantalisingly show us her ADEQUATELY FILLED FUN BAG. Enough to get anyone's motor whirring.

 

 

 

 

"Hey Beko, you can come over to mine and give me some loving attention any time......"

The only thing between now and MOT for Starion is a (complete) exhaust system and a length of fuel pipe.

Ha that's brilliant! Some people might can it pure filth?

 

Looks clean enough as she is!

I have just change the password to my email account. Not before time it appears: Last change 1990.

Dislike them or hate them, there'll be no avoiding them

 

hahahaha

 

[Craig the Princess]

On the we love 1980's Cars facebook page someone posted a picture of their Sierra Cosworth, but there was a little something to the side of it which caught my eye. Someone else posted more pictures. 

 

[Vantman]

Somehow i don't think this anti theft device is going to work!

 

[Station]

My Justy has now gone to someone who is going to do it up and give it to his girlfriend. So pleased it has gone! :)

You must have had a pretty sweet setup to have had internet access 25 years ago!

'How much cash on top because I'm pregnant?'

 

 

 

Really, that's fucking GREAT news! Tell you what, how about I straight swap your shit, £199 pile of wank for my car worth 5 times that much, and perhaps you'd like a year's free insurance and fuel, too?

 

 

 

*Edit: round 2:

 

'How mch money do u want on top?'

 

A few hundred quid.

 

'I've got no money'

 

Well worth asking how much then, wasn't it?

[dollywobbler]

Brilliant. 

 

Anyway, I've got a grin because the V5 for the Rover has finally arrived! Delivery capers arranged for Wednesday. Collection capers yet to be agreed (here we go again!).

[AlabamaShrimp]

Apparently saved from a library cull.

 

 

 

There's other stuff too just didn't get time for a pic

[vulgalour]

Spotted a Citroen BX today.  No, not that red one, but ANOTHER one, white this time.  Pictures at the end of the month when I do my spotted update.

 

 

 

I really want a BX again.

Not heard the pregnant one before. If someone tried that on me, I'd have a big pregnant looking stomach with boiling piss!

[Pillock]

Simply tell her that whilst it's absolutely not your fault she's pregnant (unless she'd like to prove otherwise with a date on Jeremy Kyle), you completely understand. Hence you've doubled the price since she's probably only got up the duff to get more benefits and so will be loaded soon.

You've got me beat.  Just checked and I last changed mine in 1998.

Trust me, it's not mine. I think I'd rather try and impregnate a bucket full of sweaty lard in W.H Smith's front window, mid-day, Saturday.

[EssDeeWon]

Having had a day off today I offered to pop out and run an errand or two for the GF this afternoon, I only managed to spot and pap a mint 'Cortina Style' P100, a crusty MK2 Fiesta and a Mint Y reg Toyota Corolla all on route 

[DS20]

I have just scoured the gas hob for the first time since moving to this house in June; I'd cleaned the surfaces a few times since then, but this is the first strip-it-all-down-and-scrub effort. It is now sparkling, and several years' worth of grease and grime are gone. The knobs are in the dishwasher. All of this pleases me (sad git that I am)

[saucedoctor]

Rio Ferdinand is in the shit again. This pleases me immensely.
