What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Thanks folks. Unsure on red but doubt it could beat my old robin for sideways antics

You could piece a new kitchen together for the van out of spare/old/damaged bits!

[Pillock]

Honda Civic?

 

Shit Astra.

I'm confused? The project van has gone,I've got a fully built one now!

I had a grin today. My company car has been making a sloshing noise on corners and acceleration, which I put down to the fuel tank.

Except it was doing it whether the tank was empty or full. So then I found half a large bottle of spring water stolen from a hotel under the seat, so assumed it was that.

Except I binned that yesterday and it still does it.

 

Turns out the nearside rear door is full of water....

 

left up the rubber at th bottom and clear the mountain of shite thats blocking the drain holes

Called into KwikFart on the way home this morning on the offchance they'd sort out my aircon. "No bor, mate, bring the wee motor roun' an' we''ll get 'er sorted".

 

All done in less than an hour. When I enquired as to whether they'd been successful, the chap replied "Aye, 'sworkin' dead on so it is. She'd fu.... flippin' skin ye. Quare job them wee Focusses."

 

They're getting better at speaking English in North Belfast. It's just going to take time.

Work have requested I go back to Ireland again, this time to visit all of the offices (mainly Belfast & Dublin) so that's my summer holiday sorted

Took the Cadillac to work this morning.  Just starting the engine in the alley made me smile, a V8 coming back at me off brick walls...

 

Had a delivery in Windermere (a grin in itself) and while there, saw and more importantly heard a Hurricane flying over the town, quite low.

Took one of the lads out earlier at work and saw this

the chance to see a spit, a hurri or the lanc flying free always makes me smile too.

Winding up the hon member for Lichfield on Twatter is childish and I should stop.

It seems Boris has his next motor sorted........although it's not blue

[Spottedlaurel]

Mixed grin here – unfortunate about the car on its roof that’s going to be drenched, but unless anyone else can make a better suggestion I think that passing car might be a Camry Sport:

The only local Sport I know of is this one:

The hint of chrome above the front grille seems to match the rear plate surround (both non-standard I think).

On my wall by the computer I have a big map of near-Europe: Belgium, Netherlands, parts of France and Germany. What day does it choose to break away from the Blu-Tack and wilt all over my printer?

Yup... today.  Spooky!

Please don't stop, the rug deserves it. Pincher is similar pot of toss, I find wasting his time via email entertaining as he is duty bound to reply in writing to even a simple question. It's the small things in life that make it worth it.

What, even if you asked him what he had for his dinner?

 I am trying to get a trip to our Dublin office to coincide with a free weekend so I can go back up the Antrim coast and get some more Bushmills.

Sound of the engine - nothing like it.

Somebody finally returned my wife's cookery book "Cooking with herbs".

 

It's about thyme.

[cort16]

The panda Hp sauce is now road legal for the first time in my owner ship . It's true they are fun to drive . I was flying along revving the nuts off it thinking I must be doing like 80mph. Looked down , 62mph. It does feel much faster than I think it is.

 

One weird problem is after about 10 miles the the clutch pedal starts squeaking and the pedal doesn't return as fast as you can lift your foot . Eventually the pedal is stuck to the floor but if you ping it up with your foot it will popup. Pretty weird. The pedal goes straight into the clutch master so I guess this could be goosed. The fluid looks rank too.

Was overtaken by a cattle wagon on the way home. Painted on the back was the words bound for moo moo land. Did make me smile

[MarvinsMom]

again in a world dominated with doom and gloom, while this story i the press isn't something to smile about, given the tragedy that this couple have suffered, but instead it does show that there are some decent people on this planet.

 

yes i know that this is off of the daily hate mail, but give it a look.

 

and yes, i smiled while reading it, with a tear in my eye at the same time.
