What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

What part of the world are you going to be living in Vulg?

[vulgalour]

Kent.  Frigging Kent.

 

Bearsted, to be accurate.  The only consolation is I keep being misheard and people think I live in Bastard.

[mrbenn]

But what a consolation!

Good choice. Kent has some lovely bits and some god-awful bits but it's pleasant there. Fingers crossed for the house!

[Rusty_Rocket]

Hey Vulg, if you want to impress the locals, Bearsted is pronounced 'beer-sted'.

Some may argue, but I was born there (40yrs back...) and that's how we said it, complete with a Kentish twang

The place isn't the small village it used to be but is still a very nice place and is friendly. The big village green is host to much cricket and other events during the summer; in fact today is the yearly classic car show!

I live 30 mins away now, but will always fondly remember walking on the green/ around the pond with my grandfather when I was a child

I drive right past bearsted every evening when I'm working. Do a trunk run to lenham, bearsted is a handy cut through when the M20 has problems

[fordperv]

On another site, someone has used the phrase "Tuna Canoe" to describe a lady's bits.

 

I admit to having a LOL M9

There is a late 60 year old chef at my work and she was telling us about the freshness of going commando, but she didn't do it in jeans because of Gina juice, I laughed my head off at her

Bearsted's nice, I worked just down the road from there for a while.  Couple of ok pubs.  Locals pronounce it 'beer sted' rather than 'bare sted' which might help...but possibly not depending on where the people you're talking to are from.

I'm just going to embrace it.  "where do you live?" "Bearsted"  "okay, alright, I was only asking, geez"

[Frogchod]

Tried my Reliants towbar out for the first time today with a trailer that weighs 460kg empty. 

No problem at all, no nuns or kittens died

I wasn't brave/stupid enough to go out on public roads, just used it to shift stuff about at Frogchod towers. Honestly.

Seconded.

We've found a house, and the only mark against it is no bath (shower only, not ideal when my back plays up).  It's so perfect in every other regard that we're willing to overlook this since a bath can always be fitted.  Now the nailbiting agony of finding out if they accept offers, etc.  Trying very hard to not be too excited, all the same.

 

tin bath in front of the range FTW

Buttercup??

Everyone knows Death's horse is called Binky!

Cast iron bath in the garden, fill with water, light fire underneath, sit on a board to avoid a burned bottom.

Does it come with free water?

[Mr A Lawrence]

not so much of a grin but a nice, warm feeling inside......

 

dave numbers thread, through all the banter and the swearing that thread just shows how this place can be full on compassion when needed.

 

makes me smile in the wake of some truly shit news.

[The Moog]

I imagine it will but to save weight it will be dehydrated. Just add water to revitalise it.

[DSdriver]

From Stuno in NZ to Kent? Should be some road/rowing trip.

[Guest Hooli]

I imagine it will but to save weight it will be dehydrated. Just add water hydrogen dioxide to revitalise it.

 

Fixed for sales talk.

[Pillock]

They float, so just point it in the right direction and give it a shove.
Bonus, take the plug out and it'll be full of water when it arrives.

[loserone]

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Hey Frogchod, how did you get your Reliant onto French numberplates?

[wuvvum]

I imagine it will but to save weight it will be dehydrated. Just add water hydrogen dioxide dihydrogen monoxide to revitalise it.

Good spot, I was obviously less awake than normal on a monday morning.

Browsing for details Alpine toll roads & found those crazy Austrians using a Spitfire to advertise one of them https://www.goldeck-panoramastrasse.at/gp/en/motorsandtyres/motorsandtyres

Bucketeer Towers I believe.  Are you delivering or collecting?
