What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

well done mate , i'm at 14 months now , I think when you smell smoke and it makes you want to spew up rather than it smelling nice is the tipping point 

 

I gave up 13+ years ago. I still love the smell. I have been known to walk behind people in order to Hoover up their secondhand smoke.

Had a visit from a friend of my late mother's yesterday. At Christmas she flew to New York by herself to visit family, and at their remote farm nipped outside for a smoke. It was -20 and wind whipped up the snow so for a short time she was lost in the white-out. She seemed unfazed by it but the biggest problem was that her lighter had frozen up and for a few minutes she couldn't find the way back in to seek an alternative source of ignition.

She's 89.

It's unusual to find a Montego Estate in a car park nowadays.

 

It's very unusual to find an Austin Allegro.

 

So what would be the chances of finding both of them in the same car park on the outskirts of Innsbruck in Austria last week? Very high, apparently. With a bonus ex-fire service LT28.

They didn't look like they'd been moved for quite some time, but were still in fairly tidy condition.

Could it be the inverse of using a Romanian registered car here in the UK? Austrian Plod see a UK plate and ignore it?

The allegro owner was probably chucked out of the UK for putting those wheels on it.

Hello, I'm a young person.

 

Unfortunately it is, at least for average people going on a night out.

Seems a lot of girls/women have trowels, spiders and black marker pens on their dressing tables these days.

 

Matte lipstick is awful too and never flattering, makes you look like you have really wrinkly lips.

Hello young person...

 

I agree, wtf do they think they look like?

Now as it's the grin thread, this weekend couldn't have gone better. She's perfect for me & is delusional enough to think the same about me.

 

How hard is it to move to Bute?

Just get a holiday/ student visa and overstay....seriously is there any work on the isle?

 

Commute to Glasgow is possible tbh, but there is some work on the isle. I shall be investigating, no rush as I need to rewire & redocorate this place to get enough money back from it to make it possible.

Ah yes, the "wipe-clean vinyl sex doll" look - very classy.

He owned this 25 years ago and the chap who bought it has had it since and wanted him to freshen it up as its been off road for a good few years

 

Also the long term X19 that was in my spot has gone so fingers crossed in the next week or so my mk1 sierra should be going in
