What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[bub2006]

Anyway I think I have to be in receipt of it for so long before I can apply. It's not a consideration yet.

I use the rule that someone told me of starting the presentation with a question, answering this question during the presentation and then revisiting the question again at the end. This helps give it a purpose and a flow.

 

Good luck!

Ha Ha Ha... Imagine theSavv hitting that one for Six!

Mrs DR rang to say she had seen a car I would like driving down the road, the description was an American muscle car painted white with twin blue stripes running front to back over bonnet and roof. Apparently not wearing plates either

 

I'm guessing a Mach 1 Mustang or a Camaro... will go through google images later.

 

You're all wrong...

 

 

[Kiltox]

Bub surely you need some kind of Dacia on motability? They were launching an auto Duster I’m sure

I've just had a letter delivered , from my solicitor ...

  My very first client of  35 years ago, who could be a right old grumpy dragon, but was a good old stick  once you got to know her ,   has died and left me something in her will...     Fuck me!!   I do  know she only had a distant relative , whom she disliked....  Wonder what i've got coming    ?  A car ?

Something similar happened to me a few months ago, my benefactor being a retired teacher and former neighbour.  We used to walk our dogs together 40 years ago.  "Something" has been left to me and my sister.  What or how much, and when it will appear, is anybody's guess.  In short: don't hold your breath, and don't order any new Jags.  Yet.

Speaking of which, I must remember to check last night's Euromillions, I have a ticket......

[Sloth in a bowl]

The only ones big enough to catch my eye are the astra Sri 1.4 and the seat Leon 1.8 TSI estate. I have been thinking of it if I'm honest but I have fear of anything happening to it!

The 1.8 tsi is a bit of a rocket. You can probably get it through 2 stone walls before it comes to a halt.

Today I had to shift a colleagues 400bhp+ BMW 330 round the block. Fuck a duck! I'm used to fast cars but that's on a completely different level. Terrifying!

watching "le Dakar" on TV, Loeb is out...

 

[dollywobbler]

YES!

 

Gosh, this is lovely. I can upload and download at the same time! That'll make the next magazine a bit easier. Next Invacar video uploading as I type. It seems to be taking 10 minutes (while downloading from I-Player at the same time) instead of about four hours.

Pretty much the same as I'm getting now it's settled down. It's enough to use the web properly isn't it?

 

 

 

I used to get about 1.7 up & .25 down.

[Guest Hooli]

Oh & today's grin is insurance!

 

Last years policy on both bikes was £370ish, so I've moved to a rougher area with worse crime stats. Same bikes, same use, same rider, still in a garage & it's now £260. I'm happy with that. No points or anything removed, still on full NCD etc. Oh & that's the renewal offer, so it's not even worth ringing round really.

[Ghosty]

Loeb is out...

 

That bastard ruined WRC.

That and it ending up as just C4s and Focuses.

Yup. We were on 2.5mbps down and 0.25 up. Worse, uploading anything crashed out the connection and made it unusable. This is so, so nice!

 

Should make our i-Player viewing a bit better too.

My family were left £650k by a family friend. My share bought the villa in Florida

Unfortunately I've been on the flip side of this where a great aunt, my grandad's sister, left £25k to family, split amongst us all and about £475k to her hairdresser. Not bitter about that at all!

Shitbox Rally 2015........ how come I never knew? Great cars, utter loonies driving them. 

[Tayne]

A very good friend's grandmother died and left an estate of around half a million, including £5k for Guide Dogs for the Blind.

GDFTB disputed this, got the lawyers involved and it dragged ion for several years.

His eventual share was about £1500, only the lawyers did well.

 

I'll never forget his rant at the GDFTB charity mugger who accosted us a year or so ago, the bloke was shitting himself.

Nearly got us chucked out of the pub.

[twosmoke300]

Why did gdftb dispute a 5k donation ? I’m confused

[Tayne]

They claimed they should have gotten almost all of it.

Is he ok?

 

I read about the football manager what’shisname.

[Pillock]

Wandering back with the shop with three bottles of Henry Westons for a fiver, an Espace II came past me.

Or rather it hooned past me, foot to the floor. I never realised they did a V6 one of those but it seems so, with the PRV motor. Sounded lovely!

This is the reason why I tend to ask my clients to think twice about naming charities in their Wills.
