What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Oh Yes............The Senate just confirmed Scott Pruitt to lead the EPA. (EnvironMENTAL Protection Agency)

 

Now we'll get rid of this "CO2 is a pollutant" bullshit and get back to real science.

 

The 16 year old single malt is out, the last time I did that was Brexit.

Climate change is FAKE NEWS.

I accidentally clicked like on that post when browsing on my phone earlier.

 

I feel that I should just confirm that it was totally accidental and I'm not a complete thick bastard like laddo here who thinks it's fantastic news that American companies will soon be able to pour glowing green industrial waste into rivers and stuff.

Fuck me I agree with one of your posts!

The label "snowflake liberals" no idea where it came from or who first used it but it makes me grin every time I see it used. ...

Oh and eating breakfast on the seafront in Barcelona in shorts and a t-shirt watching the locals walking past in their thick winter coats. ..

Today's lesson learned:

 

A convertible, a motorway and an open box containing polystyrene "cornflake" packaging is not a happy combination.

Same here- apart from the Barcelona, sea and shorts bits.

The term "snowflake" is often bandied about by people with skin so thin I'm surprised their guts don't fall out.

[Cheggers]

Much the same here too

They don't have any so are safe.

Finally managed a picture of this winner-mobile that I often see trundling around town.

That towbar appears to be attached by dexion or possibly Meccano strips, and yes, I have seen it towing a trailer.

The dash is covered in giffer shite, satnavs, cameras, etc.

Those mudflaps are genius and are indeed floor mats self tapered to the bumper.

Is it for sale?

Hai bai

 

PS they classed this as an upgrade

 

Oddest place for trip reset ( no wonder I didn't notice it)

I joined a weight loss 'club' at work where you team up with a handful of others and try and lose the most. One week in and I've managed to gain 1lb.

 

 

Anyhow, I signed up for one of those 'spin' classes a girl my wife knows runs, and had my first go this morning. She was an absolute lunatic and it highlighted just how unfit I am.

I have lost a stone and a half in four months, down to 12.5 from 14 stone. All I have done is cut out all the crap I was eating and slightly reducing portion sizes. I will start cycling to work again when the weather gets better but it's what you eat that really counts. For someone who always thinks he eats a good diet, I managed to sneak in a fair bit of crap without noticing.

Urgh, I am piling on weight. I was hoping the marathon training would help but it isn't. Too easy to have a cake or 3 because I have been running. I know its not the recommened way of doing it but I need to quit chocolate and other treats. Also get back to fasting I think.

I've done pretty much the same, down from 15/8 to 14/3. I've got a food app on phone, put what you eat in and it tells you a daily allowance. As you say, very easy to add a load of extra crap into your day.

[Cheggers]

Same here, keeping a food diary on My Fitness Pal really made a difference for me. I guess I'm one of those target-driven folks who needed a number to stay under each day

I've not used the Volvo for about 3 weeks,the steering suddenly got noisy & started throwing PAS fluid out.I thought the pump was leaking,but haven't done anything as it's either been cold or wet at the weekends.Just been out to have a look,& found that the pressure hose had come loose.I've tightened it up & it seems ok,I'll probably stick a new O ring in just to make sure so with that & some fluid, should be a cheap fix 

[Cavcraft]

I think the trouble is I'm eating food like I used to smoke fags, mostly out of boredom and it's becoming very hard to stop.

Mrs Imp: 'You've left Imp Jrs buggy in the back of the car and I need it, is the car open, I'll go and get it from the train station.'

 

Me: 'Soz, I locked it but there is a spare key in the drawer downstairs'

 

*rummaging*

 

Mrs Imp: 'Theres loads of keys, which one is it?"

 

Me:'Its the one with a picture of a Jaguar on it'

 

Mrs Imp 'I can't find it, there are some on a blue keyring, one with sellotape on and one with a picture of a lion on it.... '

 

My Dad told me of a tale. Many years ago, a colleauge in his office mentioned he had seen a beautiful looking car in town at the weekend. This chap had no idea about cars, so when asked what it was, he came out with the following...

 

"I guess it was a Rover, because it had a pouncing dog on the bonnet..."

What happens at the end of the descent? There seems to be about a 100m with no road.

I was thinking that for a while then decided the road goes into a tunnel.

Today feels like the first day of spring. All the outdoor tables for the local bars are full, people are smiling and I'm sitting on the balcony with a cold beer.

 

I love it

As above: been out for a walk to a different spot, no jacket for the first time this year. Was flippin' lovely!

 

Now knackered, dogs knackered. Sleep...

When I was on steroids for my arthritis I used to eat carrots as I felt like I was starving the entire time, I used to get through a bag a day, but better than stacking the weight on. I went for three years on one small meal a day and still put a couple of stone on! Then they put me on methotrexate and the weight fell off, partly as I couldn't face eating anything.

Watching Ballymena United v Carrick Rangers on Sky Sports 2. You can tell that the camera operators are used to covering the Premier League, as when the players take off with the ball, the camera sweeps up the pitch, miles ahead of them. Not quite the same pace in the Irish League!

Or is it an alternative fact?
