What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I've found Korean cars in general to have pretty robust A/C systems.  Same with Japanese cars to be fair - about 10 years ago I had a G reg Accord which still had ice cold aircon.  (It also had cruise control, electric windows all round, a sunroof and a 150bhp 2-litre 16v engine, and went like f**k.  I should have kept that car, but my inability to find a replacement for the dodgy ABS pump meant I couldn't get it through a test.)

Bought a new to me car a couple of weeks ago , started it up then went in the house , came out tried starting it again and nothing , completely dead so I tried locking it to reset the immobiliser and nothing 

Looked at the key which is new so can't be flat WTF is going on , tried again and immobilised appeared on the display 

Bollocks 

Went back in the house and realised I'd picked the wrong key up , it came with 3 but one does nothing 

It wasn't the non starting that worried me , it was the fucking earache I was going to get 

There was nothing wrong with the mercedes you've just sold

Chuck me the highly inappropriate picture and I'll censor it if you like 

It will be on twtter somewhere; look for a still of Chris Whitty doing one of his ZOMGPANDEMIC briefings, with a powerpoint of Matt Hancock having Ugandan discussions with not-his-wife.

I have exactly the same multimeter as Big Clive. I am, therefore, an extremely knowledgeable electrical engineer. So that's good.

I've got one of those as well.  Bought from Maplins IIRC, about 20 years ago.  On its second 9v battery now but otherwise it's been spot on.

Those yellow ones are very generic. I just wish at times mine had a buzzer.

I have kept nagging at B & SIL to get their cambelt changed, managed to get them to have one done on their cashcow earlier in the year. 

'You really ought to get the other car done, it is 11 years old now' 

*SNAP*

'Can you repair it cheaply, asap?' 

😇

 

I once suggested my brother in law get his cam belt changed on his 9 year old Dacia Duster as it had never been done before, 

his response was “what’s the point il never get the money back from it”

🙄

NFTS and cryto blockchain stuff is all a load of shit for elon worshipping pricks and I'm fed up of hearing about it. but it's all worth it because a new company has just been launched in the NFT space:

I couldn't understand why I still have £55+ in my PayPal account, despite sending most of that to three Shiters for diecasts and Roffle tickets.  I have now figured it out.  I didn't have the payment option set to "use PayPal balance."  This means they are going to appear on my credit card bill instead.  Bugger.

According to an email I received this morning, someone has transferred £25000 in to my account. It doesn't specify what account, but cheers.

I'll be sure to waste it on beer and more pointless stuff for the car.

The Nigerian Ministry for Paperclips is getting quite low rent these days; I wouldn't* waste money on beer for less than a million.

Just for a laugh I checked the price of our house using the Zoopla website. I was delighted that our house is worth £80k more than next door's, especially as his has  a large extension and the garden is about three times the size of ours ☺️

Getting pissed on a school night

When you look in the fridge and there's 3 bottles of Thatchers ( not her) 7.2% cider and a full case of Busweiser Budvar ( not the american crap)and drinking them at 4pm seems like a good idea

This may be regretted at 8am tomorrow20210706_173842.thumb.jpg.265bc23ac0fa4fa793bf1ec292fe7111.jpg

 

Not a great idea 

Fell asleep , woke up at 8:30 , thought I was late for work then realised it was ,8:30 pm not am
