What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[DodgeRover]

Forgot to make my sandwiches last night, the lady where I'm working just popped out to ask if I had eaten them came back with jerk chicken rice n peas. I'm full now

[beko1987]

I'm back in Arnold Clarke land!

[Pillock]

Hot weather blah blah Britain is melting waffle waffle blah. Except a friend of mine has just had a brilliant idea....

 

 

Cookie dough.

 

 

Apply to car dashboard, wait an hour or so.

A fairly easy working day tomorrow (probably no more than a couple of hours, tops) and then I'm taking some more time off until after next weekend to crack on with my ongoing V8 Disco project

This will be lost on those south of Sheffield.

 

[Guest Hooli]

Politics, sexist, sizest, racist and northernish!

 

Full house!

[iainrcz]

Monday's make me grin.

Specifically Monday mornings at 06:00.

Why?

I finish work for the week!

Very south of Sheffield and still grinning down here. Should say Fat Lass for full offences

 

Sign outside the sports club I saw last week had a letter rubbed out so it read

 

"No lasses to be taken on the rec"

I've just realised my Saab still has nearly half a tank of scotch petrol from shitefest. My cars really don't move much in the summer!

3 police cars showed up about an hour ago. Went knocking on Wayne & Waynetta's door (see http://autoshite.com/topic/31654-grumpy-old-man-thread/page-2570#entry1521715 forreference). Mrs D walked in 10 mins ago having been out & about with stepdaughter and told me Waynetta's been put in the back of a police car with handcuffs on while shouting and swearing. Other officers still taking out evidence bags. Wayne has a black eye and fat lip and has been left with the ridiculous number of Waynelets they seem to have.

 

This makes me very happy as they've done nothing but give dustbin towers, the 3 student houses and the Greek family grief (for no apparent reason) over the last month.

[Bobthebeard]

The Saab 9-5 bought from Barry Cade on here a couple of years ago...

Still doing the daily slog 30 odd thousand miles later. I love this car!

Have re furbished the wheels (and changed the oil and filter every 5k) and the car keeps on giving.

I was going to post that too, both that they have been found and that so much effort was put into finding them.

So today we have been on the Clun Run. An annual event organised by the Clowne Motor Club to raise money for the Air Ambulance.

 

Plan was to use the Delta, but last night the fuel pump decided it fancied a day off. What to do? 100 mile pround trip? Let’s go with the BMW 2000. A car that has done a maximum of 10 miles in my ownership since a restoration following import from South Africa.

 

What could possibly go wrong? Well as it turns out very little. Slight problem with the exhaust seal and the hot weather did cause a fair amount of pinking but a great time was had by all.

 

My mate in the car behind took this:

Run was a round trip to the Newark Air Museum where they had this:

thats no a sctsch pub is it?

[BavarianRetro]

Sitting in the E30 convertible today outside the unit, when a young (pre teen) lad passes with his gran and says,

 

"Nice car. I've admired it a few times."

Chatted briefly to him. He's a very polite, well spoken young lad into old cars.

 

Then his granny pipes up,

"He loves cars, don't you son? So does his dad. Tell the gentleman your name, son."

 

"Cooper", says the young lad, "After the Mini. The proper one. My dad has Minis and always wanted a Cooper, but he got me instead. So he called me Cooper. He's going to do one up for me for my 17th birthday."

 

I truly hope he does.

Apologies. Tired.

 

Amended.

 

If you're referring to anything within the picture then...well, that's a bit futile, ain't it. I'm aware some of it comes across a bit colloquial, borderline nonsense.

I just woke myself up by farting.

I looked in the mirror while shaving this morning and noticed that I'm left-handed.

 

You live and learn don't you?

[panhard65]

It was going to be a grump as the clutch hose for my Seat has got to come from Spain and I was going to take it to Le Mans. This has now turned into a grin as I will have to take the 806 and have already got two motorbikes lined up and waiting on a third. If it all comes off ok I will make enough on the sales to cover my weekend away and hopefully the cost of fixing the bloody Seat. If anyone fancies a 1983 Suzuki 125dr thats been off the road in a French barn since the 90's let me know as it is the only one I haven't got a home for yet.

Not that I'm in a position to take it on, but what is the asking price for that sort of thing?

 

Bored of the ZZR already?

[davidfowler2000]

One from Saturday.

 

Engineering works at Rutherglen means services from Glasgow to Newton are extended to Larkhall at the weekends. For us Central guys who don't go that far, it usually means a handover and a significant wait at Newton to bring a different train back. Herr cms206 of this parish was doing rail replacement buses from Newton to Bridgeton and informed me that Newton was really good that day.

 

He was not wrong.

A pub round the corner from the office has a poster out for the football.

 

England vs Colombia

Doors 5pm

Kick off 7pm

No dickheads

[SiC]

So are they wanting the doors to be pulled off at 5pm and rioting to begin at 7pm? Gotta love the English language for it's ambiguity at times!
