What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[xtriple]

Had an e-mail from Flying Spares to say that my wing vents are on their way and will be delivered by UPS tomorrow. Pretty good as FS said it would be after Christmas.

We've partnered with a company at work to do some repairs for us, and I've got to use their online portal to track jobs.

 

The company? Unipart. I don't want to name the portal in case Google picks up on it and I get a bollocking, but remember the Ford Escort that had a boot instead of a hatchback? It's got the same name.

 

It made me smile when I saw it, but now I'm trying to Google for the portal address (because I'm too lazy to turn my work laptop on) and all it's bringing up is sets of brake pads, hoses, ignition modules...... gaaaah!

Ickle_Seth got to wear a Rio Olympic Gold medal round her neck yesterday, courtesy of members of the ladies hockey team. A real privilege!  don't think I've ever seen an Olympic medal up close.

Oh! That's ace! The hockey girls were mega in Rio, especially Maddie Hinch (I was a goalie once, got a bronze medal myself for a sixth form tournament in Blackpool ).

[seth]

FTFY.

 

There were 'only' four of them with her and sadly I wasn't in the room at the time.

Ours sells record players to go with them, but they're horrid looking new versions of an old machine.

One of our biggest customers at work sent us a huge box via ups today. First thoughts were " what the hell have they sent one day before we close". Turned out to be a large box of quality street and no samples needing analysing, with a note thanking us for the work we've done. It's the first time in over twenty years that a customer has sent us a little present.

 

Yes, they do several thousand pounds a month with us, but we're very grateful for a box of chocolates!

A great film! One of my earliest vhs rentals.

I got a bottle of vodka today from a kid on my primary school bus this morning. Makes a change from a box of biscuits anyway.

They don't make 'em like they used to. Batteries not included, cocoon, last starfighter, flight of navigator and tron. I was also named after an 80's Sci fi movie my mum was watching when she went in labour

[richardmorris]

A friend of mine used to teach at milfield. Gifts to staff from the pupils started at a case of claret and went to holidays on cap d'antibe.

 

Of course they weren't trying to buy favour, no not at all !

Terrible things, you can do a lot better for the same money or less.
