What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Hope they didn't catch you fondling their vacuum cleaner

There was a Karcher MV3 by the emissions machine too, looked utterly battered!

I was at work earlier and mrs fp sent me a picture message of something she saw on the carpark when she was taking a patient out.

 

 

I almost had a fugging heart attack when I looked at the picture, I can't remember the last time I saw a bx gti, the driver was sat in but she didn't care, she had to get a picture

Man 'bends car door' of burning vehicle to save driver

 

 

 

A man saved a driver from a burning car by bending the door with his bare hands, say police, describing his feat of "superhuman strength".

 

WOW! What a hero!

 

 

Oh.

Someone did that to my Cavalier in 2002!!!

No pictures because I had a passenger, yesterday I passed an 06 reg VW on the M25, that was covered in stupid flower stickers. Nothing unusual in a new Beetle so adorned,BT this was Phaeton!!

[jakebullet]

I has cosy cottage booked for end of month with my kinky girl. Don't care where it is 'cos we're not planning on going out.

A bizarre moment in the kitchen preparing the evening meal.

 

The meal was a vesta chow mein. On the TV was George and Mildred.

 

I was half expecting a power cut.....

Now then, I'm not a facebook user but a friend just showed me the "Brads Dad" facebook page. It's a grumpy grumble about Christmas. Absolutely hilarious rant if any users can find it.

Googled it. That man tells the truth !

Speaking of burning vehicles...

 

 

The grin isn't the poor chap's van catching fire, but the driver's reaction is.

In the days of constant poor service, i ordered some engraved labels to my own spec yesterday and today they came in the post with a free bag of Haribo.

Kwik-Fit once again incur the wrath of Watchdog (tonight's episode, 1st item); this time for charging almost everyone £1.50 per tyre for nitrogen inflation (without asking), and just sticking in good old air.

[Pillock]

Well, that's 78% Nitrogen.....

Just got back from a 228 mile round trip to collect a heater like the one at FOAD WORX that Mikeknight got on eBay for £notalot.  That's not the grin, the weather was just horrible and there was a nasty accident on the opposite carriageway to us on the M62 on the way back where two lorries had come together and there was a line of about half a dozen cars in front of them.

 

The grin is the mpg achieved on this run, in horrible weather and without economy driving: 47.5mpg  I can very much live with that, especially so from a 21 year old car.  Worked out from a brim-to-brim fill so I know that's pretty accurate.

This morning on the way to work I was passed at great speed by some tit in a Focus who then swerved across two lanes cutting up other cars to take a slip road. He then tailgated the car in front all the way down the slip road. There's a red traffic light at the end of the slip road so he has to stop and wait.

I pull up a few car lengths behind and what should I see making it's way down the slip road behind us?

 

Oh look it's a Police motorbike with it's blues on!

The cop pulls up alongside said tit in the Focus, gestures to wind down the window and starts bollocking the Focus driver then tells him to get into the left hand lane and pull over, presumably after the junction.

So funny! And so richly deserved!

I have again been surprised by what cars turn up in this country.

RHD Prowlers do not exist !!

 

 

 

And you still don't want one ?

[vulgalour]

I'd have a Prowler.  I'd have to kick those ridiculous front bumpers off that the factory plagued them all with, but I'd totally have one.

[STUNO]

And then there is a Ferrari, Or is it ?

 

For sale $NZ 1,200,000.00

 

 

 

 

 

NO actually it is not totally

 

The ad includes the word --- REPLICA---

Collected ickle_Seth from school. Her spectacles had broken, one arm off. Two teachers had told her it wouldn't be fixable, 'superglue won't work'.

 

The little springy bit of the hinge had fallen apart but nothing actually snapped.  Inserted part A into part B with a drop of glue to hold in place while I got the positioning right.  Filed a little off the hinge so that there was no need for it to 'spring' as the arms are opened/closed. Once in the right place drilled a 0.5mm hole right though. Countersunk each end a little, pushed a brass taper pin through, cut it to length, hammered the ends to rivet it flush.

 

Sorted.

One of the joys of working from home is having the snooker on TV. Since when did snooker referees become:

 

a - Female?

b - Young?

c - Attractive?

 

[Ghosty]

Finally got the parents off bloody TalkTalk and onto Plusnet.

 

It only took a hack...

 

Going to try and wangle fibre optic too as seemingly they're too tight for the extra fiver a month, but I'm happy to put in £5 a month if they aren't.

[vulgalour]

When I get stressed I struggle with creative focus.  This week I've had one hell of an art block going on until I had this idea a couple of nights ago for a flower-lion.  Got just enough focus to make a start on it and you know what, it's cheered me up because it's so adorable and silly.  It's fun just thinking of different kinds of flowers to build his mane out of. Dahlia, hydrangea, tulip, Sweet William, Broom, daffodil, hibiscus, primrose, daisy, clematis, and buddleia so far.

That is chuffing splendiferous.
