What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[reb]

3 bored delivery drivers in a big empty car park in the middle of the night.

3 cars; a TDI 850, a 1.8 Civic VTI and a diesel Kia Rio. One may be an odd one out.

What does this equal? DIY autotest!

The Volvo may not have been the most nimble, but it certainly looked most graceful.

Hope there is a video of these shenanigans!

The nation pretty much does these days.

Went to close the curtains just now and saw a cow on the road! Not a normal sight round here... 

Went out and discovered the fence was down and there was a large number of cows threatening to Invade the road following the one trailblazer. Cue me and Mrs_brownnova (who between us have zero farm experience) spending ten minutes herding cows back into their field.

Just as we finished we heard the rumble of a tractor and the farmer arrived. Think we was quite grateful we got them back in before more got onto the road! 

How random!!

It was very spur of the moment, so alas not!

 

There is however now a photo from someone's flat window of me and Keith talking by his car. All well and good, but I'm wearing my Dominos uniform and him wearing his Papa John's uniform. Oops... ?

Aye, you win this week's Statement of the Bleedin' Obvious Award. ?

What of it? Is that your exclamation of "cheap", "dear" or "I could buy 400 cars for that!"???

Now you really are lowering local property values.

This sainsbury's advert made me grin, a lot

Used to happen quite often when we had the house in France, the fields were next to us and the 'fence' wasn't really worthy of the name. The cows seemed to know what they were doing though, it was never a drama.

Oh by the way PBK, that house that's for sale across the lane from our new one has just had 2.5k knocked off it......

Racket out on the street like someone dragging a trolley jack around, looked out to see if it was mine that lives in the unlocked meter cupboard and it is a rook playing with an empty coke can.

Managed to pick it up and flew away with it.

Spooky. I had exactly the same experience last night. I though somebody had broken into the Dolly's boot and nicked mine!

I was heading in past Uxbridge - London bound - on the A40 at stupid o'clock. The entire herd had escaped because there was a car in their field...….. I didn't know this at the time and called emergency as the motorway was a fucking death trap for all concerned. I'd only just managed to avoid one of them.

Me - there are cows on the A40 near the speed camera after the Uxbridge junction near the speed camera.

Her - there are supposed to be cars on the road sir...….

Me - no...… cows…….. Mooooooooooooo

Her - OH! OK I'll inform the local patrol

Only after I hung up did I wander the shoulder and spotted the tail end of an Orion in the field. Luckily the driver wasn't too badly injured. sadly - he was out of his skull drunk.

The plumber fitting our new boiler talks to himself more than I do.
Makes me feel quasi normal listening to him rambling away.

 fuck me, then the guy started talking like a YouTuber so I closed the video.

Up for sale at £15,000. That sounds a bargain to me. I know it used to run with a games consul steering wheel (which I have a photo of somewhere)

And i totally agree-these YouTubers need to shut the fuck up at times and let the car do the talking. And they should at least know something about the base car, or have some questions ready to ask about how it was converted, and using what.

Orion? Was this in 1994?

Bit the bullet and ordered something on behalf of Ms Slappy for the first time from a certain parts store that has the word Euro in it, using a promo over the weekend as she needs some new discs, to be collected by her this morning.

I warned her, having read many a post about the store's ability to not provide the part that you've ordered within this fine parish, to double check immediately that they hadn't given her a radiator hose for a Golf or something daft. Good thing I did as upon being presented with a very tatty looking box of Pagid's finest she found immediately that the security seal was freed off and inside contained some pretty rusty used discs along with other unidentified paraphernalia. Apparently one swift rebuke later the rather dishevelled assistant returned with a box in much better condition....

So the grin is to say thanks to all you lot really. Probably would have walked out of the store otherwise and by that point proving that the parts we had collected were not what we had ordered may have been a bit more problematic.

[beko1987]

I open everything in store there too! 50/50 success rate!

I actually mentioned to Mrs PBK this evening about selling up and moving to Bulgaria. I said that Mrs PBK could have some sheep if we did. I fear I was unsuccessful in my endeavours.
