What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Grin...

 

Discovering a long lost CD while looking for something this morning... best of New Order... immediately transported back to college days.

I've got this cheapo USB digital TV dongle, that with different software will pick up all sorts of stuff.

One thing it can pick up is pager messages, you get a lot of emergency services stuff, usually old people having a fall etc etc. I sometimes click on for a few minutes to amuse* myself

 

Just saw this one:

Updates? Is she still there?

I think cobblers could be on to a good thread with this!

It's not all fun and games, theres a bloke just jumped off a bridge above the m27 and a load of people have been reminded to take their tablets.

What's the frequency Kenne, erm I mean Cobblers?

I've got one of them USB TV Tuner things that's basically a software defined radio in a cheap looking Chinese dongle. I usually use it for watching planes as it can pick up the navigation/speed data they ping out.

Drove 180 odd miles today to Brighton and back to meet Barrett today, and have a look at his BXs/parts collection.

 

As I already said, great to meet you and see (part of) your fleet. Sadly, I now want a Diesel BX to pair my petrol one. And thanks for the bits. And the very nice cup of tea.

 

Oddly BX themed day today concluded with seeing a mint TGD parked in a supermarket on the way back, the owner didn't seem to notice/care me in my BX or me taking photos of his car....

Yeah I do planes with the other one.

 

153.316 mhz, you'll need SDRsharp to pick up the signals and PDW 3.1 to decode them.

It's like listening to police frequencies on sw al over again!

Reminds me that I saw another Mercedes w124, a convertible, on the way back from Chichester today. In traffic and very slowly going the other way, so I raised my hand and smiled. You'd think I'd just taken advantage of his daughter from the look back.

You used to be able to do it with a normal FM radio, around here at least.

[cobblers]

Police stuff all seems to be digital and encrypted now. I've got the frequencies for "Staveley pubwatch" and Chesterfield Tesco security, but the aerial I'm using can't even pick up Radio 1 so I've had no luck.

[jakebullet]

It's the dreaded birthday today, so rather than get the usual not me at all tat I told everyone I wanted a pie.

 

Success! 2 meat pies, 1 fruit.

[Guest Hooli]

Must have got high

[Pillock]

I used to listen to the police stuff on my grandparents Air Band radio, although they seemed to transmit and receive on two different frequencies so you only got half the conversation. As a nipper I'd write down the juicy stuff, turn it into a newspaper and run downstairs to tell my grandparents what was happening.

 

Then one day my gran told a policewoman she played golf with about what I used to do, and not long after that I couldn't find the police frequencies any more.

 

Cobblers... I've got SDRSharp I think but the other one is new to me. I'll have a look see. Thanks!

Enjoyed finding time to semi-recreate this photo today:

 

What Car? Road Test Yearbook Oct. 1992 - Hoxne Village Store, then by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr

 

I realised it was taken at a village not far from me. Sadly, I didn't have a Colt or a Clio available (slightly less sad in the case of the latter).

Of even more importance was booking the Camry Estate to be collected and taken for an MoT/lookover at a local garage, with a view to getting it back on the road. That's happening next weekend, I'll try and spend an hour or two on it in the meantime and knock off some of the easier/more obvious jobs. For example, it might help if the front and rear plates matched....

[vulgalour]

Just sat and reassembled the Renault's carburettor on my desk from memory and, when I got stuck, a couple of photographs of it that MrDuke took back in 2014.  The diagrams in the book are for a slightly different model (because Renault/Solex) and so of no use to me.  No bits left over either.

[hairnet]

Almost 3 am in Holland and still in the pub think if leaving and literally thinkin of leaving and they came round with snacks

It appears if you get hairnet drunk he spraffs less shite and becomes almost coherent in his forum based musings..

[scdan4]

Camry has been out on loan.

 

No need for 2 cars in the winter and i'd got bored of it. Too thirsty, too tired, had it too long. Been going everywhere in the diesel vulva. 

 

Just picked it back up.Clean inside and with a full tank (I like loanee's who know how to borrow nice). 

 

Just come home at 90 on the cruise. Smooth, quiet and serene. Traffic light grand prix? Don't mind if I do sir. Picks up its skirts and fucks off.

 

Love that car. Big smile just driving it again. Think it'll stay. 

[loserone]

I think there's a lot to be said for short term loans of cars you've fallen out of love with.  Very often when you get it back, it's exciting all over again. 

 

If it isn't, you can always loan it out again!

And yes the giffer knob heard was wearing a reflective tabard thing , bet he's got a BMW RT and wears a POLITE sign on his jacket.

[FakeConcern]

I finally got the window cables fitted and working on the XM. As a bonus, I discovered that the front passenger door lock push/pull thing wasn't broken as I'd thought, just fitted incorrectly and the door card on the other rear door wasn't put on properly so fixed both of them as well!

 

Smug!
