What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Noel Tidybeard]

Someone should send her a link to the forum.

 

No, no they shouldn't   

[fordperv]

Well it is a forum for old bangers.......

Glad to see the eBay algorithms believe £24k worth of Skoda is worthy of filling the void left in my heart by missing out on a £600 Tata Safari

I love eBay's algorithms.

 

Because I bought an offside front Yaris doorhandle last year, its adbots reckon I'm some sort of offside front doorhandle collector and are constantly trying to tempt me with further purchases that might be of interest.

 

An offside front doorhandle for a BMW E36, sir?

 

How about an offside front doorhandle for a Skoda Octavia? No?

 

Come on then, an offside front doorhandle for a Mazda 6, surely?

 

WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE YOU BUY MORE LOVELY DOORHANDLES????

 

 

It's impressively stupid, since if they were to dangle some Yaris spark plugs or air filters in my eyeline, I'd probably order them up there and then.

[loserone]

Sorry, that's my fault.

 

A few years ago I bought internal grab handles for a range of different cars, because I needed two about the right size to use to replace the armrests in my MX5. XJ40 was right.,

[Guest Hooli]

No, no they shouldn't 

 

I'd be very surprised if she could read or write tbh.

I'm not childish at all.

Having to lie to children, in a nice way.

 

Neighbour's kid, about 4 or 5 yrs old, has often come and spraffed to me when I'm working on me chod. He took a liking to the 45. Observant kid noticed it wasn't around any more. His Dad was with him.

 

Kid : "Where's the red one gone ?"

Me (looks at Dad) : "Er, it's, er, gone to the farm"

(Dad nods his understanding)

Kid : "Why's it gone to the farm ?"

Me (looks at Dad for moral support): "Er..."

Dad : "I think he means it's gone to the hospital"

Kid: "Ah, okay then"

 

I'm dreading the next conversation.

Why not tell the truth?

[New POD]

Ha, that's an easy one. Wait till they start asking 'well, how exactly does the sperm get in the mummy's tummy?'...

Tell them the truth using the correct technical terms.

[New POD]

Can remember sitting watching Casualty at my Grans house, my wee brother turns round and utters "Gran, how does the baby fit out of the ladies bum?"

 

Again I say. Explain where it t comes out of, and that often there is tearing of flesh.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

^^ Wayne???

Wtf?

 

 

It's not 'Wayne' that I found funny...

[Lord Sterling]

^^ Wayne???

Wtf?

I noticed that the other day when I was filling up my car. The model of pump must be called 'Wayne'

[beko1987]

The pumps in my local BP are called Wayne too! Hi Wayne!

[Richard]

Wayne is one of the biggest and oldest manufacturers of petrol pumps. They had a bit of a restructure a couple of years ago so maybe the Wayne branding has become more prominent.

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

Ha, that's an easy one.  Wait till they start asking 'well, how exactly does the sperm get in the mummy's tummy?'...

 

If it's in her tummy - it's one of the reasons she's a keeper! In her womb……. another story (sorry - not sorry)

Apparently (Facebook tells me) there is or was a progressive metal band called Vanden Plas...

 

Named after the Allegro with the silly grill, no doubt.

 

[Jim Bell]

They'll be more rock than metal. The metal will have dissolved.

Finally managed to get our bloody stupid piece of Sky garbage router to stay out of the darn way and let me connect to about ten machines here via SSH.

 

This makes me happy as admin now consists of logging directly in to the terminal from my desktop (or phone) rather than having to physically be at the machine...which being a stack of old laptops was rather awkward for those at the bottom of the stack.

 

The router is a piece of garbage, though has been pretty much reduced to the function of a modem now, I've got better hardware doing pretty much everything else.

 

It's a small grin, but makes me life a lot easier so I'll take it.

[vulgalour]

Do a search for Topolla to see more of those weird temporary camper conversions for cars.  Topollover always seems a more appropriate brand given how ungainly they look.

[jumpingjehovahs]

Was very pleased to see this 205 being carried about in it’s own version of a sedan chair today
