What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Instead of doing something useful like tidy the workshop I've spent an hour polishing a zafira wing that I bought in the wrong colour. I wanted to try out some mop pads I had bought for my rotary.

 

So cleaned, clay, cutting foam, finishing foam, wax. Well chuffed with the result.

Complete waste of time tho.

People are quick to moan but not as quick to comment on good service so I will fire off an email to the boss to say thanks.

 

I do that when I think I've had great service and someone has gone above and beyond - the bloke from Worcester boilers didn't have to diagnose low water pressure on a 10+ year old Combi, and how much water/pressure to put into it, but he did.

So Lamb for tea, apparently the last time was before 2015 as that’s the best before date on the mint sauce in the fridge. But you can’t have lamb without mint can you? Wcpgw?

WAIT A MINUTE

 

 

My sister messaged me the same thing just now...

 

How long has this been going on? I hope your intentions are honourable.

A nice drive a few times round the block in the 214SLi after I coaxed it back into life today with some love.

 

All I need to resolve now is the weird electrical issue which sometimes stops the car from turning over after a few days, and get the exhaust thoroughly checked out. I've got a spare ECU so might swap that out.

 

Left a nice rusty skid mark on the road behind the backbox when loads of shit flew out the exhaust once it fired into life.

 

The good news is it isn't misfiring at all now. Disregard the booming vibration and it's actually a good drive, and doesn't hang about at all.

As my passport expired in April I though it was about time I renewed it.

I went onto HMPO's website and done it straight away :)

Slight grump at paying 105 quid though.

Very simple to do, no fannying about getting an approved person to sign the application or recorded post to the embassy in Paris.

Well done HMPO :)

 

Now if only HM governments recent bung to Brittanie ferries would make a trip to Shite Fest more affordable...

Lady Grumpius and Lady Grumpius' Dad both bought me pornography for Christmas.

From her Dad (who used to work as a regional manager for various car hire firms and has a lot of very funny stories):

Got home after a lot of driving last night and remembered these were both in my study, awaiting my perusal.  Good times.

Should probably be a grump because I need to go back to work soon but just booked a room in central London for £46 on the 2nd - normally £200+

 

Shirley* that's all on expenses anyway?
