What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I'm going to Leeds on Friday and Ma says can you drop idiot sister at the MOT place on the way? OK I suppose. I'm attempting conversation and Idiot says it's expensive here, I've had a full service and it was £180!!! Er, what did they do in this full service?

Dunno really. Full service. Probably new spark plugs, not just changed the oil but changed the oil filter as well. 

Must have been a deluxe service if they did the filter as well as the oil. And it's very important to fit new spark plugs on your diesel renault van.......

*************

Think she may have noticed I was taking the piss, 'cos she's left the invoice here for me to look at. Invoice says "full engine service @ 138575 miles. All filters changed and oil changed using 5w40 C3 oil £150+vat"

Bargain! £15 of filters n £40 of oil?

Seems fair, it will have tied up a lift and tech for at least half hour. Garages have to make money too y'know?

Think that was covered by the MOT done at the same time for £50. Forgot to mention garage is owned by someone on same donkey yard so at m8's rates.

Maybe not. But invoice says "full engine service", doesn't mention looking at anything else on the shitbox van. When she's thick enough to think diesels have spark plugs there's quite the scope for charging n doing what you like.

Haven't a clue. Invoice says "full engine service @ 138575 miles. All filters changed and oil changed using 5w40 C3 oil £150+vat". Given it's been driven <500 miles since last year's oil change they could have done chuff all. Doubt oil was that dirty.

There is a man that hasn’t paid for or fitted many Renault diesel filters .

I let mine renew this year after little effort looking elsewhere as whatever I did put the price of a new policy at the same/up by £20!

Its a strange world we live in nowadays

It is prohibited to allow your inebriated terrier to skateboard unless he extinguishes his cigar first?

Maybe it's like the odd laws small towns in America bring in..... You may not take your Lion to the cinema for the Thursday matinée..... someone's done it so it gets banned!

 

In other news this otherwise unexceptional looking dealership caught my eye.....

Used to be mates with a fella who moved out to Arizona. Apparently it's illegal to put a donkey in a bathtub there.

In Kansas, it is against the law to pay off large debts with pennies. Everything was peachy until some ex-husband received a judgement against him for back child support of $10,000, and decided to deliver 1,000,000 pennies, loose, with a city truck, on his ex-wife's lawn.
