What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Andyrew]

Rung one of the local factors for a front spring for a c3 xtr today . Usual questions expected but was asked if it had a sunroof , how random is that !

I've asked that question a few times to people The springs for a pluriel model are higher rates. Due to the weight of all that detachable roof crap.

[twosmoke300]

Ahh yes that makes sense as it’s a full length leccy sliding roof.

[Andyrew]

work shite related grin today

 

Smartly dressed pleasant chap comes in, requires a battery for his car. B REG cavalier, clearly a winner.

[twosmoke300]

063 it is then

[Andyrew]

Indeed it was, a simple time for choices of parts. Unless it was French.

 

Today whilst sorting wiper stock I found 4 valeo vm6 rear blades. They fit XM's and xantias only with some offset pin mount design.

 

Maybe one day someone will buy one!

Soft soled shoes only on the parquet floor please.

Crap photo time. C17 on its way to Leeds earlier. Surprisingly quite

VICARS.

 

Give your sermons a more contemporary and edgy flavour by occasional, judicious use of the word 'cunt'.

'Donald Trump, Silly Cunt' would fit seamlessly into We Didn't Start the Fire, should you wish to rerelease it.

Spotted these two signs oh holiday.

 

 

 

Which reminded me of this one I came across on an audit of one of our French sites a few years ago. For some reason the management didn't wish to discuss the reason they needed it around the back of one of the production buildings.

Juliet Bravo on the Drama channel!

A sexy policewoman getting changed during the opening titles and lots of old shite-boxes with POLICE written on them in felt tip pen.

Cats and dogs living together...

I'm not a royalist. Far from it. However, the Queen is alright.

Well that’s me lost 2st 2lb since new year ! Another stone and I’ll be happy . Going to keep weighing every week to I can keep it off this time. Promised myself I’d quit the fags at this ponot so here goes . Expect to see more of me in the grumpy thread !

I have a massive file to copy and paste into another. It’s a list of about a quarter of a million phone numbers!

 

The file isn’t on excel so I can’t just select and copy the column, it’s on notepad for some reason (some people think it is cutting edge, Ho hum) so I need to sit here holding shift and page up. For a long time.

 

Got bored with that so in true autoshite fashion I came up with a cheap engineering fix. One bolt on the shift key, another on the page up key, and a phone resting on each to maintain the pressure. I can now sit and watch The Protectors instead!

Ctrl+A?

[dozeydustman]

More from the archives of Thames TV. With bonus Column shift action and Thames fanfare

 

[Parky]

Ctrl+A?

Already tried that, won’t have it for some reason!

[BavarianRetro]

"Edit"

"Select All"?

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

Import it into Excel...... set delimiter and bosh.

 

On a 'couldn't get the phone out fast enough' moment. A gen-yew-whine Bugatti Veyron just trundled past. Surprisingly quieter than I'd have thought....... but great to see it being used on a normal road by some guy who obviously is winning at something. Kids at lights were going mental so he blapped it a bit...... my bits fizzed

Ctrl+Shift+Home?

[Parky]

Tried all that, problem is the file is too big so am having to extract 10% at a time onto excel.

 

Painful. Nearly done though

[beko1987]

Notepad++ might play a bit nicer with it?

[loserone]

Rename it .csv and open directly in excel, then save as a spreadsheet?

[Bobthebeard]

Using the 1993 Rhonda 416 as a daily since starting my new job last week.

Hard to actually put into words, but using the car properly as a daily work car rather than just as a 'hobby car' is liberating and refreshing. Light, agile and eager as a puppy. It has everything it needs and nothing it doesn't!

Great visibility due to the large areas of glass, easy to drive and park, large boot for tools etc, key opens doors and locks them again without plips and battery worries, incredibly easy to drive due to aforementioned lightness and lack of the physical size and bulk of modern cars.

Am left wondering if progress has been made at all in the overall useability of cars since the 1990's.

Safety? Possibly, but anything else is a "maybe" IMHO.

Even actually winding down the windows manually isn't actually that difficult.

 

I know what I am trying to say...

[Cavcraft]

Shouldn't really laugh as it must be shit to happen, but I did LOL a bit at this earlier on the way to my lad's house...

A former colleague was once overtaken,in his Volvo Amazon, by his powerboat on its trailer, before it did similar on Cowbridge Road in Cardiff. The hitch part of the trailer had taken too many dunkings in salt water and rusted through

[Saabnut]

Not a good day for the boat owner, that looks like the original Ski Nautique USA built trailer which are not legal on UK roads. Part of that is they usually have a 2inch hitch rather than 50mm which could explain why it came off....
