What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I had the misfortune of listening to Radio 2 yesterday. I remember when it used to be good. Vanessa Feltz in the torrid lunchtime slot followed by Tarrant. Ok, so he's better than Wrighty, but that's not saying much is it?! Thought the songs were dreadful too. Glad to escape after half an hour!

Got my grubby mitts on an old mountain bike today. Fitted a new innertube, gave it a wipe down. oiled all the bits that needed it and took it out for a spin.

 

Not been on a pushbike for years, it's rather good fun.

 

Oh, also discovered that tie straps will hold a mountain bike to the roofrack on a Jeep.

^^^ Very much so! It being half-term week, the doris is walking the dog in the morning, freeing me up to go out on the racer - first day was ok, 2nd was dreadful, I'm only now managing to stay sat on the saddle for most of my route...

Citroen ZX dizzler in traffic in front of me, had Nurburgring sticker on its rump, I thought to myself "Oh yeah?" then read it. It said "Neverbeen".

 

Apologies if you've all seen that hundreds of times, first time for me and it made I do a laugh.

[Angrydicky]

I saw the most stereotypically scene Land Rover today, B reg but done up like a new Defender, covered in checkerplate, jacked up on huge wheels and at least two "ONE LIFE-LIVE IT" stickers. I'll see if I can get a photo of it sometime

[RoadworkUK]

.... least two "ONE LIFE-LIVE IT" stickers.

 

Yeah, saw these again on an L Reg 110 today, together with "110 inches of pure pleasure.".

 

What the farque is up with the whole ONE LIFE-LIVE IT thing, and why the hell should LIVING IT be associated exclusively with driving slowly through some mud?

[Negative Creep]

Getting the rest of my stuff back from storage, which has been packed away since last November and nothing is broken. I now have all of my 360 games, my multi region PS2 and dozens of WW2 aircraft books back to keep me entertained

[cobblers]

I got a lift the other month in a 2004 defender, and it was actually a proper nice vehicle. I enjoyed the early BL stalks though.

Anyway, I was chatting to the kid who owned it saying how I really like them, but "what is the deal with these one life live it stickers everyone has on them". I didn't get a proper answer among mumbles.

 

I get out and notice "ONE LIFE LIVE IT" in 4" text down the drivers side. Oops.

[RoadworkUK]

Just realized that ONE LIFE. LIVE IT. is the motto of the Camel Trophy. How tediously inevitable, and it's now obvious why it's seen on every rusted to buggery bobcatted Discovery that doesn't look like it could penetrate fog, let alone cross a barren featureless desert.

The breasts on the BBC south east weathergirl are magnificent and cheered me right up this morning.

[RedSparrow]

Kate Middleton would get it.

Still I guess it's only a matter of time until she does a shoot for 'Nuts' magazine.

[dollywobbler]

Kate Middleton is already ruined for me due to the huge number of books/shit crockery that exists to celebrate their wedding - which hasn't actually happened yet.

 

And her eyebrows are a bit odd.

[trigger]

If you want to perv over hot weather girls then google Laura Tobin, she's the BBC News at one weather girl and she's very nice

[Cavcraft]

Yes, I'd like to see how damp she gets in the south alright.

Ah come on, if she was covered in Marmite bent over a Black and Decker workmate saying 'give it to me big boy' you're not gonna go 'nah sorry love, you've got weird eyebrows'.

[autofive]

i dont like marmite

 

or royal bitches

[Cavcraft]

I like Marmite and the royal family so count me in.

[Station]

I neither like, nor hate Marmite. It's OK.

I'm almost sorry I moved away from Sussex. Almost.

Finding this photo I took in Wellington. What a happy little fellow

[dollywobbler]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets tempted by trucks like that Station.

 

WHEEEEEEE!!!! Crash.

Just found this website from Ford where you enter the registration or VIN of your Ford car and it tells you the full spec of it (only works on modern stuff), I'm not sure what help it is to anyone other then to give the bad guys the VIN number of your car, GR8 4 RINGIN

The Mk1 Granada club website has a VIN decoder, that's how I know my car was built in May 1972.
