What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[strangeangel]

I found an old family pic of my Vespa that's been missing for some time. It's me, aged 7, at the controls with my sister on pillion. My Dad had just sprayed it this hideous saffron yellow at the behest of Fatha_Dugong, who was riding it at the time.

 

 

It's currently away with a mate in North Wales who is sorting out some of the fundamental problems I was never able to get to the bottom of, so one day soon I might be able to do more than just sit on it with the centrestand down!

Ask if the cask is full of whisky or not.

And as if that wasn't enough for one lifetime... it was properly icy here yesterday so I eschewed scooter power in favour of the BX. It was frozen solid when I returned to it after my day's labours, and so I found myself scraping ice off the beast while enjoying the mellifluous tones of the XUD warming up.

 

Meanwhile a chap was walking his dog on the other side of the road and shouted something in my direction, which turned out to be 'Nice one mate'. I looked at him all quizzical like and he elaborated 'The old Citroen, nice one'. Well yeah, duh

Whats funny about it is the extremely high level of distatefulness of it, placed into a context of it being used to 'officially' name a flippin council gritter lorry. Hope this helps

A few miles to the east and it could have been the Yorkshire Gritter.

 

edit to add, it's actually quite hard to think of a name for a council gritter without laughing.

Looks like Royal Mail are upgrading their "before 1pm" delivery service to "in about five minutes, mate".

Unfortunately a small packet will cost £2,500 to post

Popped into my feed tonight......

I saw that and suggested Gary

 

Edit: Along with everyone else, apparently. I blame my leaving-do hangover.

Been to the cinema today with Kinky Girl. For the first time in 20+ years to the one in town. It got closed down by odeon, sat dead for years and then reopened by an independent small chain, so not sure what to expect.

 

It's retro-tastic. Flip up shonky seats. 2 films to choose from 'cos there's 2 screens. No cup holders 'cos you're supposed to buy warm orange* juice at the interval instead of drinking gallons of coke. It's still got the curtains that close over the screen to give you the clue to bugger off home. And all for £6.

 

About the only things that have changed is there isn't a lady selling you melted cornettos half way thru, and pearl & dean are no longer advertising a curry house only a short walk from this cinema.

There's a guy on a particular facebook page who's always asking if anyone has any barns he can go poke around in....
