What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Mrs N just collared me as I’d used her laptop to bid on a Cavalier and I was outbid at £900, she said she’s just bid on it ,because;” It seems a lot nicer than most of the shit you bid on!”  It’s got 6 days to go and will invariably make twice as much as I’d be prepared to go ,

But nice to know she doesn’t hate everything I look at.

It's not just us buying cars: 70+ year old widowed neighbour, dealing with her lonely lockdown, just got herself a new MX5. "If not now, when?"

Watched Everest on netflix last night , very good , it prompted me to look at how much it costs them for a guided trip

$69,000

I bet this picture isn't in the brochure  the queue to the summit in 2019

I suppose the next step would be Western tourist mountaineers* being winched down onto the summit from a helicopter for that all-important selfie.

It's 30,000ft , same as commercial airliners fly , I dont think there's a helicopter that can fly that high or I'm sure they'd be doing it

Can a Harrier hover at that altitude?

There will be somebody mad enough to try it.

Et après ça, le deluge.

5000ft is the best guess

I love this description:

For Sale, lml star auto, was running with mot about a year ago, not been used and sat in garden since, got no time to get on with doing it up, 14 plate, ideal project through quarantine time, collect only from Caistor LN7, £875

it’s the ‘was running with MoT’ followed by ‘about a year ago’ that made me laugh, or as anyone else would say - MoT has run out.

i believe a helicopter can fly as high, and even higher than mount everest.

however the machines that have completed such extream flights have been proper stripped out of everything not needed to make the machine fly, and the pilots have been on bottled oxygen, so the helicopter wouldn't be much use for picking people up off the mountain as they were very much on the limit of their capabilities just getting up that high.

on more fun news, look what i've found, having been moving things about in the back room
