What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[The Moog]

Work had a night out.

Something something Katy Perry

 

Free bar.

 

Quadruple gin.

 

Quadruple gin.

 

Beeeeeeers.

 

Managed to get the train home, there's a drunk lass called Lauren who has definitely overshared sat next to me.

 

Down the carriage, a woman is concerned about a rash.

Result.... Not a shit night out then.

[DeeJay]

As long as the woman is not talking about Laurens rash.

People who use the phrase "massive spec" when selling a car.

Then after reading it you discover it either means a load of cheap Barry shit tacked on. Or it's got stuff on any other reasonably modern car has but the owner thinks it's a selling point.

 

Helmets.

I don't recall seeing a car sold with helmets...

Just sold a non-working mower to a guy on ebay, its an oldskool qualcast cylinder mower. It didn't work as the coil/magneto is duff I reckon. Anyway, it was priced accordingly and a guy and his son showed up to pick it up, having paid by paypal.

 

I show them round it, and explained to the older chap the diagnosis of duff coil. Turns out its the 16 year old (who looks 12) who's actually bought it. And its not for mowing lawns, it to power his minature/ride on locomotive for the minature railway he built in his back garden. What a hero. Apparently he bought and resurrected a Suffolk Punch but the engine is slightly bigger and didn't fit, so he bought the suffolk colt I was selling as it definitely would. He can use the coil/magneto from the punch for the colt and be in business.

 

He also bought a morris traveller which he is planning on learning to drive in when he hits 17 in 8 months time I was told. 

 

the future is less bleak than I thought it was with people like that in the world.

... harmless old bloke with a gun...

 

Doesn't sound that harmless...!

 

Joking aside, contact your local plod's Firearms Unit. They take that sort of thing very seriously.

Just change them for new orange bulbs, cheaper!

Just not lucas ones - they are almost white when new . Osram ones the best I’ve found

Looking at Irish vintage scene I get to the back and the adverts

Nixies! I can (hopefully) build my second wristwatch now

 

Want to try and build a digital instrument panel with these to fit in a 70's car. I think they'd look good set into a Lada 1200 dash, being Cold-war era stuff. Wonder how I'd do it.......

Those look excellent.

Dungeon Quest yesterday

Both smell a bit funny after being in the shed for years but mini Shrimp really wanted to play them.

 

All went good till he got upset at losing all his gold?? Still filled an afternoon

Somebody did at the time. Had he taken shots at Barbara_Lee-Cartland, he'd have still been in A&E now as they removed .22 pellets from his arse.

Spent the whole day cleaning and polishing the saph, i love black cars for 5 minutes when they are clean

It is a fantastic looking motor.

[chatsharris]

So I've finished my sea time and I got a nice week home with the missus. She left today to go to Strasbourg for a week doing some science conference.

 

I still have a week off, so a week of tinkering with cars and watching the football it is!

 

Also got to meet my nephew yesterday for the first time, cracking wee chap.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that make you happy.

Having had clear out of all the dregs of 5ltr oils in the workshop. Thanks to the suction pump the disco received a half an oil change to use up a coulple of spare litres of 15w40 that was getting in the way. I love this suction pump.

I don't often see mention of that mag over here! I used to be a prolific contributor but have only managed infrequent bits since moving to England. Great mag though, got a bit of everything in it.

Exactly why it's bought subbed for couple years but it's not cheap but thinking of again
