What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[cms206]

Think I've just seen a KFC ad starring CMS206...

I've had to take on extra work to pay for my diminishing raffle skills.

Today keeps getting better!  Not only did I finish all the floor welding on the wedge but I got a refund through that had taken so long to process I'd forgotten about it.  That's my new electric fuel pump and fuel filter paid for then  

 

I'm feeling great right now.

Good thread(if an unfamiliar subject for I)

 

I'm hoping to write a few roadtest blogs this week. Too busy until today with work..back to dreaming of scimitars..

[Timewaster]

Liked the Dyson thread.

I've got a similar non allergy one.

 

It's shit. I hate it.

Woke up this morning (always good) having had an interesting dream

 

I dreamt that a company started remanafacturing the Austin Maestro, but with an electric powerplant. They were charging 8 grand for the pleasure, which seemed pretty good value in the light of the cost of other EVs. I was all set to buy one... and the alarm went off.

 

I shant b telling anyone else about this... I don't think anyone else would understandwhy this was a good dream!!

Yay!  That was my one.  Great job!  It's potentially quite embarrassing having your vacuum cleaner dissected on the internet, but I'm not easily shamed.

 

Sod's law being what it is, I've just found the missing crevice tool in the back of the garage - PM me your address and I'll post it to you 

[nacho man]

Handed my notice in on Monday, was a good feeling.

 

New job is a little less pay but scope for a lot more pay and j am out of a bleeding office and back covered in crap and getting my hands dirty.

[Jerzy Woking]

In the recovery room following operation on both of my knees. Nice pot of tea, a view over open farmland, and of workers laying the new access road.

 

All made better as my brother who is picking me up, is stuck in the traffic snarl up on the M25. Guess which one of us is the more relaxed?

New post at work FTW and additional chod buying fundage

[xtriple]

My friend Jo is 45 on Saturday and I have been winding her up a treat by telling everyone it's her birthday and she'll be 55! I laughed and laughed right up until she clouted me!

 

Had to buy her four bunches of flowers to say 'sorry'.

 

Then I told the kids next door she was going to be 65 and she went home in disgust!

[purplebargeken]

I have a reason to grin but I'll be damned if I can remember why. Arse.

This just appeared on the JLR linkedin page. I'm fairly sure there isn't actually any perspective in this photo.

 

[Ghosty]

There are more...

They are ugly nowadays! Saw a new disco (15 plate) on monday and that looked horrible too. Too 'pandery to the pay monthly club' for me, rather than old money sinking cash to buy one knowing it'll last the rest of their lives (with money thrown at it of course)"

[beko1987]

This looks fun...

I picked the MGB up this evening from the garage that did the MOT work.  They'd given it a tune-up too - it still idles rather high, but it now actually goes when I put my foot down rather than just popping and spluttering, so I can now overtake dithering old twats in Peugeots without a half-mile run-up.  They also fixed the binding brakes and fitted new front pads, so the brakes feel a lot more confidence-inspiring.  Both the garage and the MOT tester were surprised at how solid it was and how well it drove given what an utter shitheap it is to look at.

 

Now to find some nice fancy car shows and park it in the middle of a row of immaculate Tartan Red chrome-bumper roadsters.

Wuv, you NEED to come to Chumley and enter it in the concourse competition ... one year they will get round to banning us, so time might be getting short.

[purplebargeken]

I haz a seemingly working Rover 75....... yay.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Yay won the pub quiz again last night! Was a bit touch and go at one point (Swmbo added it all up wrong) but we won on a tie break.

 

 

Edit: yay job interview next Tuesday at everyone's favourite euro carparts!

[purplebargeken]

Well done on both. They might then start giving out the right parts

[purplebargeken]

Cycling daily between 6 to 12 miles a dayt. Went to a mates place in Crews Hill. The hill bit was a bastard but I made it without stopping. However, slight edge taken away from my victory when I was overtaken by a lycra warrior on his posh bike. Twat made me look like I was standing still. C*nt (jealous mode engaged).

 

Still pleased with myself. I am Bradley Wiggins (fat balding cousin).

[alf892]

I know the feeling.........I do a 3 mile ride most days in the summer to try and keep fit and the last bit is a pretty serious hill.

 

A few times now I think I am doing really well and then get overtaken by a spotty kid sipping a can of drink. He doesn't say anything but I'm sure he thinks 'silly old cunt' as he glances my way.

[Richard]

Having been that spotty kid I can confirm you are right. Sadly I am now the silly old cunt.

When is it safe to diagnose yourself with Forum Addiction? Is it when you set off an alarm in Tesco at twenty past midnight while trying to post from the display Hudl? Because if it is I think I have forum addiction.

Are you sure you hadn't slipped onto a 900 channel? Outback "Truckers"?

[Bobthebeard]

Whilst taking the Beard dog for a walk watched some bloke in a tipper truck dumping a load of logs/wood/tree clippings at the side of a quiet lane. He saw me watching and told me to 'take what you want mate, just don't grass me up'.

Had no intention of grassing him up, but went back and filled the Accord with logs.

Weird.

[D Spares & Tyres]

You are now a criminal too

 

You saw some dumped waste

 

You handled and moved it without a waste handling license

 

Wierd indeed
