What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[myglaren]

That is almost as good as this one I see near Bury St Edmunds bus station.

I am surprised nobody has opened a bakery called "Baking Bad" yet.

I wonder if it is a franchise as there is one a couple of miles from me - it is dreadful.

Didn't finish a car today and left it on the ramp for tomorrow,somehow I managed to fit a car and a half under the ramp (mgb hidden by pillar drill) so 3 vans,6 cars and a bus, good squeezing skills

A ring road where you can play with traffic density, desired speed etc and see how jams build up. 

Interestingly, if you wait until there's some bunching with cars coming to a stop and restarting again (just like the fucking M42 every morning) max out the acceleration level, the road suddenly frees up.

 

So, by nailing the throttle and getting back up to speed ASAP, I'm actually helping traffic jams reduce in size. Who'd have thought?

Don't you just hate people who have room in their garage for 3 vans 6 cars and a bus and they can stack them 2 high. Proper autoshite is a space outside a terrace, when the bastard next door neighbours aren't parked there

Watching Dollywobbler's videos, with the the subtitles switched on.

...I like it most when he sings the hits from his album 'Homie in da Welsh Hills'...

Drove past somewhere recognisable to every Shiter this morning. Couldn't stop to take pictures, but we've all seen plenty of those anyway.

Longbridge, Cowley , Maranello ? No, although I did get my coffee this morning from McDonald's in Herald Ave on the old Canley site and this place contains products of all those places and more.

BC dog needs to learn how to weld too now you've got that Midget!

Oh yeah?

I was clearing my PC as we've got new IT police moving in on Monday and found one of my favourite all time for sales adverts.

Finally sorted the clanking on the dolomite that has been driving me crazy. £1.50 worth of universal rubber mounts on the exhaust and job done!

[AlabamaShrimp]

Did a bit of time travelling earlier

 

 

Only went out of date in 2007

 

 

Still OK in the can

 

 

Even better in the bowl and tasted normal.

[Tamworthbay]

Cans don't off as long as they don't get holed or rust out. They only started have dates in the mid to late 90s I think. Will be good for another hundred years if left unopened.

[AlabamaShrimp]

I know, that's why I ate it! Had some dehydrated savory rice the other day that was proper old too. Sod all wrong with it.

That chicken did not have a use by date on it so it was ok.

You can always find an expert who will tell you that you will die if you eat food the day after the expiry date !

[Parky]

I love the fact that a yoghurt is perfectly safe to eat at 11.59pm one day, but a pot of bacterial death two minutes later

[burraston2006]

^ I always look at yogurt as gone off milk anyway so i always ignore the date on it!

[Richard]

Muller Fruit Corners used to be better once they were out of date. Since they started watering them down even more they are crap even when matured.

To be fair, we had one do exactly that the other day! Mouldfest.

[AlabamaShrimp]

It is strange how it works though as I opened a brand new jar of Beetroot about a week ago, it's use by date is something like 2019 yet some how it's gone moldy.

 

Never seen pickles do that, in fact thought with the vinegar they couldn't. Will just take it back and get another

Morning, are you still alive?

[Jon]

I'm not one for adhering to all these silly food dates but admit from experience that a one-year-out-of-date Frey Bentos chicken pie is an exception to the rule. I had to take two days off work to recover!

[Richard]

Yes, but the same could be said of a fresh Fray Bentos pie.

I had fun last night harrassing a young lad in a mildly barried 306 along one of my favourite local roads.  Still can't get over how well this bloody Hyundai van goes round corners.  I reckon I can carry more speed through bends than I could in the Scudo (although admittedly that was slightly hampered by shit Chinese tyres).

[AlabamaShrimp]

Morning, are you still alive?

I can confirm I am officially alive!

Mrs fp's grandad does pig roasts in his spare time, today im giving him a hand (he's well in to his 80s now), we get there to set up and I had to go and get the pig from the butchers that the organiser of the event had arranged so I went with the Chap to do the donkey work, this lovely volvo is what I was met with

 

 

Chucked the pig in the back

 

 

Took it back and set up, mrs fp's grandad built this machine himself from stainless he's a great fabricator who loves making things, the man himself is in the picture

 

 

It's great spending time with someone like him, we've had some fantastic conversations

[Sloth in a bowl]

The Puma, that which I paid £350 for 11 months ago, has just passed it's MoT with 0 advisories.

 

I love Cape Hill garages, they are so used to seeing the worst of Birmingham's cars that a slightly rusty and unloved Ford can be described as in good condition.

[Mr A Lawrence]

What makes me grin???

 

Getting a car out of hibernation after 8 months and going for a drive in it and to be reminded of why you bought it in the first place.

[nacho man]

 

Tommy is my work colleague. He wasn't impressed.

Found a tin of heinz curried beans in my old house (best before 2000!). The tin had swelled into a near perfect sphere.

I dared myself to open it and i had a perfect line of curried beans up my forehead and up on the ceiling behind me, and was rightfully billed by the landlord when i moved out because it kept absorbing into the paint. It exploded like an undiscovered ww2 hand grenade.
