What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Keep a look out for Machine Gun Sugar too. Daughter's best mate's band

My local friendly motor factors is opposite a slightly pretentious "exclusive" food market. I park in the food market to go to the spares place so am there quite a bit. The car park itself is the usual liberal middle class jumble of new Minis and X5s, the only car in the place that is between the lines of its space and reversed in is mine....you get the idea. Anyway the people who shop there read the guardian, go skiing or on cultural excursions and avoid the NHS. They are naive enough to pay vast amounts for produce that cn be obtained in the local corner shop. They generally have a large brood of sticky fingered children dressed in ethical clothes (fairtrade cotton stitched by a happy child in a fairtrade sweatshop). These children are called things like Daisy, Archie and Sweet-Pea.I was there once and one fell over for no reason at all, bursting into tears soon afterwards. I laughed so loud I could be hear outside my car, and got an evil look from the child's mother.

I think you've described my most hated type of person in the whole world. I know this is the 'happy thread', but fucking hell, they're fucking everywhere, them, with their scarves, drab woolen clothing, ritualistic coffee drinking, obesseion with 'red wine' (what's wrong with Stella you fucking perfume ponce?) and whatnot.

Having a right go at the two stupid chavs who thought it would be funny to smash glass bottles in the middle of the road. Of course as I walk off I hear "you're a fucking wanker mate", so I thought I'd return and asked if he would like to repeat what he just said. Oddly enough, he went rather quiet...........

Sorry, we're called The Hornblower Brothers.

Neutral Milk Hotel?? You've got my attention... (buggers of to myspace)

[Guest]

Oh, what an atmosphere! I love a party with a happy atmosphere!

[pogweasel]

what's wrong with Stella ?

Everything. It's utterly foul.

[Richard]

Aye, I was with you until the red wine bit. I like red wine. I drink it out of a tumbler though and the only bits of the label I look at are the %vol and the price. I could add to your post but this is the wrong thread so I'll just say cheap red wine makes me grin. Then fall asleep.

[Albert Ross]

I absolutely love Red Wine (To bring us back to joy-mode) And aswell as looking for the % and price, I like a good Shiraz, and Jacob's Creek Grenache Shiraz at 4 quid a bottle is a real stormer. I also absolutely love Real Ale, another of my vices.....And although it's getting pricey, I still indulge as often as possible.

Was out last night at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway's beer festival. Lots of beer, some good crack, some rude songs from the band, and then back to terminus by steam train!It made me grin!

Now THAT sounds like fun!

[pompei]

It does! Was there a fella there called Tim Moon? He's got a nice old dattie whichhe was selling

[Albert Ross]

Why not send them a cheque........for £70, but next month, therefore you gain the interest.................Happy?

[Pillock]

Cash the cheque, then send me the cash and I'll spend it on drink for you.Everyone's happy then

[Mr H Sceptre]

Bollocks to 'em. Cash the cheque. I take it you didnt get a letter saying that £70 had been automatically refunded into your account? Just plead ignorance.

[Arragonis]

Just tell them its your fee for handling their mistakes.

[Mr H Sceptre]

Just tell them its your fee for handling their mistakes.

Haha yeah nice one. Just say its to recompense for all the time you took out for your day(s) phoning them, writing letters etc etc.

This morning I came downstairs to find my cat sleeping on my camshaft.

 

 

It was funny until I noticed how much the cat smells of oil.

Having three arguments with people in the last 3 days. Stupid chavs on Monday who thought it was funny to smash bottles in the road. On Tuesday some daft bint parked in our private car park, thus meaning I had to stop on double yellows whilst collecting deliveries. So to get her back I moved one of our bikes directly behind her car and another right by her driver's door. Suffice to say she wasn't amused when she came back from her shopping (over an hour) and after claiming it was ok as she "has a disability" just started shouting and swearing. I just stood and laughed at her whilst taking as long as I could to move the bikes. Finally yesterday some stupid delivery driver blocked the road for over 5 minutes. If he had parked 5 meters back the road widens enough to allow cars past. So I ended up marching into the building to have a go at himI suppose that should belong in the grumpy old man thread, but after every single one I felt really good

Reminds me of a time I was in Paris. While walking in la Place d'Italie, this French nutcase came screaming past on a Suzuki GSXR1100, helmetless, on the back wheel. He managed to turn around, on the back wheel only, and repeat the feat in the opposite direction. I was grinning and chuckling like a loon for ages after.

Now who would have thought that would happen?

It's like the opening scene from Backdraft when he opens the boot up What a clot

[dollywobbler]

On the BXagon, we were driving in southern France when coming the other way, at a ludicrous angle on a roundabout was a gorgeous blue Citroen Dyane. Driven by a Nun. A beautiful Nun. She was smiling like the proverbial Cheshire Cat and after that encounter, so were we!
