What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[beko1987]

Went to the clothes bank to dump. 4 bags of clothes and found half of a dyson DC41 dumped there.

 

Grin? I need the small tools for one of mine and this has them, so £15 saved there! Plus loads of spare parts

Have she ever considered writing jokes for Billy...?

 

Couldn't do any worse, tbh.

Would you think you could collect a full rear focus axle into a fiesta, I was doubtful but took the passenger seat out in 2 minutes and it does indeed fit, fella at the scrappy was laughing his head off. 

 

Wife is amazing and didn't bat an eyelid whilst helping me heave the big heavy bastard out of the car

I misread who was the big heavy bastard, and thought you were saying the fella at the scrappy actually laughed his head off, so you put him in as well and now your wife is helping dispose of the body.

TBH looking how the cars next to it are parked that is the only way they'd have been able to open the doors on that side.

Last time I went there on a Sunday afternoon we ended up in Sweden three days later.

Not that I was complaining, mind.

They must be using some interesting mushrooms if that's what happens

Saw a Lada Riva saloon following a red BX estate going up the m606 earlier.

 

Not seen either in the wild for some time.

Decided to put some usb led lights up that run off a power bank in my rented garage. No mains power so it's like a cave at this time of year. Quite pleased with the result.

Passed a 68-plate new shape Suzuki Jimny today in a sort of luminous yellow colour. It looked ACE.

When cycling I take great pleasure in using the longitudinal strips to cross them. Either that or a bunny hop to clear the whole thing!

They scare me to bits. I get off and walk

[Andyrew]

I wonder how bad the rot is under that gaffa tape bodge I did for the MOT 6 months ago.

 

 

Hmm Well...

put the tape back on to retain the arch profile and throw a load of wob over it? 

[Guest Hooli]

Looks fine*

[beko1987]

I once got charged £20 in my younger days for a garage to fill my rusty puma arch with silicone and hammer the pointy bits in...

 

Last mot it had was that!

[New POD]

An idiot at work did that a few years ago in Blackpool. Unfortunately the tram stopped in time.

I'm guess it was about 1955 in his late teens

[purplebargeken]

You think that wheel arch was gaffa tape creative? I hope EddieHonda has a photo of my handiwork on his Volvo 340.

[M'coli]

It's a shame I don't have photos of the pop-rivetted-on cornflakes packets covered in wob/glabber on my first mk2 Cav...

About five years ago in his 40s.

Of course I have Kenneth. MOT-approved.

On my 7th trip to the tip last weekend I saw a 10 drawer bisley steel cabinet next to the scrap metal.

Asked about it expecting to get shot down (they always have before) but I was told I could have it. That's 5 of them I've cadged for nowt, they'll come in handy when I get the workshop set up. Very pleasing!

[catsinthewelder]

We scored one of those for work a couple of years back and it was far bettter than the rollcab that was supposed to replace it.

[cobblers]

I see them all the time in "antiques centers" that the mrs takes me to, usually at £60/70 a shot, double that if some pillock has ground all the paint off and put a can of poundland clear lacquer on.

Out of the 5, they're all different heights with thwarts my plans to use them to support a workbench

[cobblers]

Ah man my bisley mojo is high and I've just got a matching pair off ebay for £25, I'm happy with that!
