What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[fairkens]

Sorry for delay, been a bit hectic with the little fella. Thank you to you all.

 

I shattered but loving it.

 

He's Felix so not really car related although i did bring him in a maroon mk2 mondeo

[Richard]

Felix is the male version of Felicia, that'll do.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

I assumed, as will everyone else , that you named him after this man;

 

Probably as well not to use his second name though.

[Supernaut]

Job interview next Thursday. In Barrhead.

 

Nice long drive, then.

[richardmorris]

Wonder how he got a Dutch 2cv? They were used extensively in the Netherlands as they are great on cobbled roads, there were still police 2cvs in use in quieter areas when I lived there in the early 90s.

Apparently he bought it in Amsterdam on a trip* in 1974 and never got round to registering in for a few years.

However unlucky you are in life someone is always worse off than you, made a new contact at work today, a Mr Fook, bet secondary school was fun.............

Wife had half a lung removed today.

Not really a grin, but it was full of cancer and she says all seems fine if you keep pressing the Morphine button.

Shes on some sort of research thing, lung cancer cure falls well behind many of the other types.

The people in the NHS really are fantastic.

So far so good.

I used to know someone called Alfred Hart.

The London ULEZ requirements are getting beyond a jokeimage.jpeg

Oooh I wonder what that's testing?

Twenty odd years ago I did my PhD on improving lung cancer survival rates simply by altering which drugs were used and when. When I see what they can do now it makes what we did look like the Stone Age. She is in good hands, hope she is feeling better soon.

Sorry to hear this and best of luck to both of you. Hopefully the lung on the other side is all good still.

There was a Richard Head in the first secondary school I went too. I did point out the obvious once. Not a smart move when Richard is quite a bit bigger than you are...

[DodgeRover]

With a bit of luck they're testing how long it takes to gas the inventors of the bloody LEZ using just environmentally friendly unicorn farts.

I'd forgotten about him! Thats just made me grin

With some magic asbestos fairy dust blown in too. Oh, and with green music playing too.

Update on my wife, Surgeon been round this morning, all's fine, you can go home tomorrow or the day after.

Seems a bit early to me 2 days.

Everything I've read says minimum 2 to 3 days keyhole, 5 to 10 days if normal surgery.

She had normal as they've removed quite a bit.

She's made of strong stuff though, so we will see.

 

Anesthetist talking to her before putting her to sleep asked, any hobbies? "Car racing, used to race bangers".

Really? That's a first.

[Saabnut]

Wishing you both all the best - it is a rough road but hopefully it will start smoothing out now...

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

Best of luck Mally - hope the lady missus recovers well and is up and about soon. Best wishes all round

The bank has solved the mystery and confirmed that I had been saving more money than I thought I had. So it is in fact all mine, rather than just resting in my account. I have shoved it across into savings and am pleased to see that I now have enough money to pay for the CX gearbox rebuild, whenever that starts.

 

That went well, I thought....

[Kiltox]

just resting in my account. ....

HSBC customer I presume

[paulplom]

I used to know someone called Alfred Hart.

I was once in a car with Tom Jones, Mickey Jackson and Davey Bowie. Mr. Bowie was our site agent at the time. He's a joiner by trade. Tom Jones has a fabrication shop now and Mr. Jackson was a painter.

[cort1977]

Dunno why its sideways, but theres a bigger issue.

 

Apparently the idea is that people will notice and actually think about the speed they are doing on site. 

[Tadhg Tiogar]

HSBC customer I presume

 

Never banked with HSBC itself, but used to be a customer of First Direct in the late 1990s.

 

Now bank with someone else, and do not use any online or telephone banking.

The very helpful Mr chrisjvm of these pages, popped a couple of miles across Derby for a quick look at a Pug 607 for me, transpires it was shite, saved me wasting 1/2 day of my life..

Cheers Chris

I wasn't sure whether to put this in eBay tat, furthest car for sale, or here!  This is the only picture on the advert.

Was having sone work done on the house electrics earlier and when they were switching it back on to check different circuits so the house alarm was going off, there was a knock at the door and when I opened the lad who lives next door was standing in the drive so he could look down the side of the house and look at the front door, bless him he thought we were being burgled so he thought he would knock on and keep watch if anyone ran out spooked, it made me smile that people who we don't really know look out for us
