What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Tamworthbay]

Many years ago I was using my new fancy drill press for the first time. As I started it up my mug of tea, sat happily on a table several feet away, disintegrated somewhat surprisingly. When I went to investigate I found the chuck key I had forgotten to remove stuck in the wall behind the ex-mug.

Don't call me cynical, but here are the rules your new wife has taken on in her marriage vows.

It is windy and pouring with rain here in Tamworth. I've just noted with amusement that my neighbour has just come outside to wash his car, which he washed on Monday, in shorts.

Is it me or is that strange......

[TataBobu]

I have a picture somewhere of my brother, dressed in a yellow raincoat, washing his car during a rain of biblical proportions (think Noah).

It's taken us two days to notice the card that her granddad bought us ??

My father in law has been seen in flip flops and swimming trunks, and rain coat going to get the paper. 

Well you don't want to get your shoes and trousers wet do you.

Did you marry a girl that looks like a boy? 

It's confusing these days for old people.

I do that out here in Bg as the local tap water is so hard,it would smash windows as you wash the car....

From this 

To this

Dropped off Tuesday midday, picked up yesterday lunchtime.

Not pleased that the prick that did it just pissed off, but that my mate stopped working on the Corvette he is doing to sort this out. Top fella.

[jumpingjehovahs]

It's a case of love at first shite for me today. The legend @Bucketeer has just dropped off my first ever roffle win from @Cookiesouwest. The HRV is great, I've just done about 45 mins in it and reports from Bucketeer are that it covered 200 miles today faultlessly. The blur was me excitedly snapping from the window but my bloody phone wouldn't focus.

Top car and both Bucketeer and Cookiesouwest are absolute gents.

Is @Bucketeer now employed full time by the forum doing deliveries?!

Nope, it’s Mr Fluffyballs who’s the current transport manager, though he has been known to subcontract, apparently.

These kind of ships used to ply between Cardiff and various places in North Devon, although not usually in the winter. This is P&A Campbell's Bristol Queen.

Yeah I just go wherever the little prick tells me to.

On the plus side, he did give me my first wage packet today.

The Waverly and Balmoral still do the Bristol Channel trips when they are working, but I think both are being refurbished now. 

There was a very short lived Hovercraft service across the Bristol channel I think a trial one in the 1960s and a slightly longer lived one around 1980.

[Floatylight]

Seen both these scenes today which made me chuckle,  I suspect random discs, drums and clutches from what appear to be van and trucks will be in the window of Cash converters for some time, along with an array of other random car /truck spares including hundreds of 24v bulbs..

Bonus pic of focus with excellent bonnet latch repair..

[High Jetter]

There's got to be some sort of award for that bodge fine repair! Now, what does it remind me of...?

[vulgalour]

The low coolant light hasn't come on erroneously once since using a cable tie to keep the sensor plug in place.  Now, that either means there's now a reliable connection at the sensor, or the sensor is now duff.. or the bulb in the dashboard has blown... I mean, it's probably fixed, right?

[High Jetter]

Sure, if it's come on roneously (or correctly, when the level IS low)

Behave , unless you're 19 and wear funny clothes and hats on backwards.

It was a really good night , his voice was spot on and the band were very very good

That’s about £5k for a rust free mk1 v6 Capri!

Take the big ass bumpers off and a euro spec grill...

Those bumpers are a styling disaster
