What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[richardthestag]

#2 son thestag passed his test and has been itching to get some wheels

 

there is a lot of shit out there but spotted this.

 

 

went and had a look, PAS amber light is on, will be pump or switch, I need to read the fault code and MOT is only till 23 Sept. but otherwise very well maintained and a set of new tyres on it also. Previous owner was lass whose dad seems to have spent a smoll fortune keeping it tidy. it runs and handles beautifully. Fair bit of lacquer peel and keep-fit everything but still a tidy and solid little car

 

Mrs thestag went in next day to haggle and bagged it for £235 

 

#2 is a happy chappy, we might have to do something about those trimz though

2 - The two fellas who seemed to have stripped a Saxo to its component pieces in a layby on the A14 this afternoon, they'd got bonnet, wings, headlights and many other bits of by the looks of it.. Fair play to you sirs!

Did it not occur to you that it might not be their Saxo?

[Fumbler]

Perhaps their hooning took a turn for the worse.

[Pillock]

Aye, them trims need to "flyer than most" into the canal. JuniorTheStag looks well chuffed though! I like them Polos, they look quite cheerful.

[Guest Hooli]

Polo, mint!

A vegan tried to tell me that selling meat is disgusting.

 

I replied selling vegetables is grocer.

Our recycling centre is relatively orderly - but they're ABSOLUTELY strict about the nothing leaves once it's come in rule.

 

The whole place is (remotely) monitored by CCTV, and speaking to one of the guys there, it's continuously monitored, and anyone not doing everything they can to stop a member of the public making off with anything or pocketing stuff themselves will be subject to immediate dismissal. They did it too to a couple of guys.

 

Does mean they get snarky if you drop anything as they have to immediately get to clearing it up. ...you try stuffing half a tonne of conifer tree clippings out of a trailer into a skip without dropping some...

Our local one is very amenable to "swapping".  I dropped a load of crap in and left with an almost new Vax vacuum cleaner not long ago.

 

My daughter generally leaves with as much as she took there in the first place, just not the same stuff.

She does seem to have made friends with the staff there though.

Now now, you know cavcraft is in charge of the terrible pun department round here.

The tip near me had a load of 3" stainless milk type pipe and proper formed bends poking out of the scrap bin the other day. I tried swapping it for the same weight in batteries but he wasn't having any of it!

 

That said I was negotiating with some strange lad who's always looking for heavy things to lift for people, when they try and help he says "YOU SHOULD SEE WHAT I CAN LIFT IN THE GYM" and it all gets a bit Purple Aki so TBH I was happy to get out alive.

That Polo is a megabarg.

[Floatylight]

First thought was that they were fixing it, if so fair play to do such a big repair on the roadside, second thought it's been abondoned (seems quite a regular occurance) and they are taking some useful bits of it, whichever it was they must have been on it for quite a while .

A few years ago the Auckland parking was so bad that "they had to do something ".

Little did the public know what the future would bring.

"Ere, Bob, you've a towbar on that Rover of yours, doncha?"

 

"Yeah, why?"

 

"Fancy pulling a giant skag needle full of children round central Belfast for a few hours?"

 

"Yeah, why not? Might get me out the house."

 

[Kiltox]

Isn't parading a needle around addicts the same as parading a massive bottle of whisky around alcoholics ?

Well, that's what I was thinking too... the 'Injecting Hope Into Society' tagline also seemed a wee bit... off.

 

I'm guessing these are professionals who know what they're doing, but it did seem a little...

I’m on the cover of 2cvgb news this month.

 

Are you the fella who looks like Hagrid?

[Richard]

Pretty much the opposite of Hagrid.

On the train and some plonker has a screaming toddler. I have large headphones are on and it's still intrusive.

Without making myself known I shouted 'shut up'. It only bloody worked and it's deathly silent now.

[Guest Hooli]

Toddlers like that should be made to sit outside.

I was filling our battered 2006 v70 the other day. A young lady in her thirties rocked up in a 2018 audi jeep thing (Q2?) and proceeded to put a fiver in. A fiver!

She couldn't look me in the eye as she walked past and I couldn't get the massive grin off my face.

I sometimes have this on the way home from work. Very hit-and-miss comedy* for me; some of it just isn't funny.

My Dad used to do that.

Look at that MG! Also the upturned thing in the middle on the ground looks like Britchod.

Intolerant people should be made to go there first. 

 

Im guessing not a parent then ?

Nope, which is something I consider myself very lucky about.

I woke up this morning, and smashed my bathroom up. 

 

I went for a drive. I crossed the border into England and rain happened. That's backwards.

 

A friend is unwell, so I visited him to have a nice chat and ogle the amazing interior of his Austin 12.

 

He lives not far from Longbridge, so thought this should occur. Notice the broken barrier.

 

Some sweetener anger occurred. Sorry. That's a definite grump!

 

London was achieved, though thankfully, there was blissfully little of this. In fact, through 240 miles of driving, I barely came to a halt. Amazing!

 

I'm now near Mill Hill, trying to unwind. Tomorrow, photoshoots in London and Sussex. Thursday, another phootshoot and back home to see how much more of the house has been trashed. We're having internal wall insulation fitted. For free!

It does look british, doesn't it?

 

coil-sprung wishbone front suspenders at any rate.

Looks Spridget like to me.
