What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Eddie Honda]

Replaced all four 50W GU10 halogen spotlights in the kitchen with some Philips warm white 5.3W LEDs. Brighter and the payback time shouldn't take too long.

the new battery charger arrived yesterday.

 

a £15 special cheapo one off the interweb. sold as been brand new, but in a shop soiled box.

 

as the box will no doubt end up in the bin, i'm not too bothered.

 

anyhoo, off to the garage i trot, plug it in and fasten it to the Mini's well flat battery. only one of the LED things on the charger come on. there are 2, one for power and one for charging. only the power one comes on, and there is no buzzing like what i was expecting...

 

bugger, i've only gone a bought a duff one..... SHIT!!

 

Kerry today has had a read of the distructions, and there is a fuse in the plug, and one in the machine. she opened it up, and the inside fuse is missing! puts one in, and lo, both lights come on, and the charger is now buzzin' like a demented bee. 

 

happy dayzzzzz!

Ended up with the phones on divert to me from head office. Ended up mostly sales calls. Told a nice Indian chap that we don't have any power contracts because we use renewable solar power and have a biomass heating system, and told a fella from a fuel card company that we recently moved depot so we now have a 700 acre rapeseed plantation for biodiesel production so we don't need any fuel cards.

Tickles me anyway.

 

Woman on Facebook wants everyone to know she is so blah blah blah

13-04-16

 

 

MARY Fisher has taken to Facebook to let everyone know that she is just really blah blah blah right now.

 

34-year-old Fisher claimed she has never been so yada yada yada and that she felt truly blessed by etcetera etcetera.

 

She said: “I just want everyone to know that I’m so yap yap yap right now.

 

“I’m lucky to have whatever in my whatever. Every morning I feel so on and so forth.

 

“Just wanted to share that with the people I love.â€

 

Fisher’s friend Emma Bradford responded: “Babe, I’m so happy you’re blah blah blah.

 

“You deserve yap yap yap.â€

 

Fisher’s ex-boyfriend Martin Bishop added: “I love that you’re feeling blah blah blah. Yap yap yap. Yap.â€

 

Fisher replied: “Blah x.â€

 

Professor Henry Brubaker of the Institute of Studies said: “It’s best to delete these people. Although you probably can’t because you’re somehow related to them.â€

A friend of a friend turned up in this today and I went for a ride in it and even had lunch bought for me, life is good.

 

It's fresh in from the states and has an amazing paintwork even inside and the boot floor are painted to the same standard.

 

 

 

[doobietoo]

This....

 It is up to you to work out why....

 

A Dorset Police spokeswoman said: "It was a four-vehicle, non-injury road traffic collision.

"Vehicles were cleared from the road for recovery.

"The vehicles involved were a white Citroen C3 registered to a woman from Weymouth, a blue Toyota Yaris registered to a woman from Dorchester, a white Ford Ka registered to a woman from Weymouth and a black Citroen C1 registered to a woman from Portland.

I'm guessing on the phone ? Sending a tweet ?

New neighbour's at work. They've just taken over the hanger as a construction supplies place relocated to Kent. I've been struggling on deciding on my favourite colour, but I think that turquoise green has it. My friends SM is a similar colour.

The manager of this place has a w124 as his daily and a red triumph stag on wire wheels-he likes bling!

Oops!

 

 

 

That piece of code is so famously destructive that it has become a joke within some computing circles.

Normally, that code would wipe out all of the specific parts of the computer that it was pointed at. But because of an error in the way it was written, the code didn’t actually specify anywhere – and so removed everything on the computer.

“I run a small hosting provider with more or less 1535 customers and I use Ansible to automate some operations to be run on all servers,†wrote Marco Marsala. “Last night I accidentally ran, on all servers, a Bash script with a rm -rf {foo}/{bar} with those variables undefined due to a bug in the code above this line.â€

Mr Marsala confirmed that the code had even deleted all of the backups that he had taken in case of catastrophe. Because the drives that were backing up the computers were mounted to it, the computer managed to wipe all of those, too.

Ordered a new thermostat from Mercedes Ascot this afternoon. Less than a gates one on eBay! And they were apologetic that it would take a day to arrive. May have a play at the weekend!

[Pillock]

Oops!

 

Man unfortunately takes out innocent customer's websites whilst proving he doesn't have the mental ability to host websites.

Who the fuck purposefully removes the "are you sure you want to delete this" prompt on an untested script?

[scaryoldcortina]

or lets that script run as root?

[cobblers]

Sounds like he was copypasting from a tutorial or something, which is definitely something I would do and do all the time (I've got like 10 Raspberry Pis floating around the house but I've never really taken the time to understand what I'm copying and pasting)

 

That said I'm an electronic engineer not a software person, and I have all my shit backed up "offsite and disconnected" even though it's almost entirely music I downloaded ten years ago and completely forgettable.

I know I posted one photo of this but 48 hours later it is still making me grin so I'm going to make you look at more pitcures of it.  Simply one of the best cars I have ever seen.

 

 

 

 

Its a Ghia L6.4.  One of 26 built on Chysler underpinnings.  I never thought I'd ever see one in the flesh and then in it rolls to the Ace Cafe on Tuesday evennig.

[vulgalour]

Is that Ghia - which is stunning and gorgeous - parked next to an Allegro drop(pedonits)head?

[MarvinsMom]

yes that is a Crayford Allegro.

[Coprolalia]

Ghia is stunning.

Also explains why I had no idea what it was!

New neighbours only have one car....this.

 

[oldcars]

Ended up with the phones on divert to me from head office. Ended up mostly sales calls.

I get these all the time in the shop. Chap said "how much do i pay for elec & gas. I said nowt. He asked why, said we had a nuclear reactor in the back office.

[saucedoctor]

This is actually true  

[myglaren]

I'm sure there are some cars hidden in this:

Todays sales call shenanigans; informed a nice man from BT Bangalore who called to see who supplied our telephones that we don't actually have telephones and that I was actually using telepathy to speak directly into his head. After some stuttering he asked who supplied our broadband, but he asked me to have a nice day then hung up when I told him we used Telex.

[robinmasters]

This....

 It is up to you to work out why....

You recovered them, and got all four on a transit beaver tail, but still charged for four recoveries?

[vulgalour]

This is the most Renault 7s I've ever seen, anywhere, ever.  From about 1 minute 10 seconds on.

 

 

[DeeJay]

This is actually true  

 

 

I was expecting a punchline about girlfriends and wives.

Nobody gets more than one finger from me.

This is evil, I could eat the whole jar
