Idly browsing cheap private plates and came across this:

I don't need it, there's better things for me to spend my money on, but I'm very tempted.

Same here. Spotted a nice one for £470, but can only use it on cars from September 2021 onwards....

Finally got round to changing the lawn mower oil.

It was still on the original "running in oil". 

Supposed to be changed ridiculously early like first two uses or 1hr or something.

Slightly* overdue as I never seemed to bother, still only had the mower about 5 years 😆😆😆

Must try harder, to make it worse I did have the oil on the shelf next to it. Used the pella 6000 pump and 440ml of fresh stuff. 1 minute job. 1l of oil is only £4.99 at screwfix.

I'm an absolute disgrace 😆

Well done for briggs and Stratton (450e) for making a bell end proof engine.

What made me grin today?

Having a go of a 2007 Ford Mustang 4.6 V8... manual.

I only got up to about 2/3rds throttle before nudging the speed limit.

Some guy on a Mustang forum was browsing the DVLA site last year and found 

TH14STY for £250 but instead of buying it he posted it and asked if he should buy it 

Of course when he went back it'd gone

BBQ was going well, all enjoying food etc...

alcohol had been consumed. I can't even prise it off. It's done 4 years but all I can think of  is getting the grinder out.

I was a little irritated at this until I realised that the 'conversion' was done over 40 years ago:

Very much an acquired taste; when it last came up for auction in 2011, it was on French plates and failed to sell....

.....and here it is on its original British plates, with its creator

Guy in Wales pulled a gun out in a kebab shop over NOT wearing a face mask. 

Jailed for 20 months and police found a cannabis farm at his house when arresting him.

Easily identified on crystal clear CCTV.

You can make your own mask jokes.

Grinning just for the absolute ironic situation.

I was thinking the kebab shop owner had pulled out a gun. 

I was sending parcels today in One Shop and the lady behind the counter was having no one coming in without a mask.  She sent 5 builders away, who had clearly come to get meal deals. 

Her words : Don't give me any bullshit, you spend all day on a building site, it's not like I'm going to believe any of you have breathing difficulties. 

They managed to find masks in their vans. 

I imagine if she had a gun, she'd definately point it.

I bought a  1930s  photo album at a boot sale this weekend 

This guy probably couldn't believe his luck , punching well above his weight there

Just came off the M56 at J11 , a car in lane one which goes to daresbury park , lane 2&3 go onto the  dual carriageway 

I'm in lane 2 , the lights change and the car to my left just goes straight on , luckily I'd prepared for it but gave her a blast so she knew she'd just cut me up

She winds the window down and gives me the 5 finger shuffle so I pass her laughing but Mrs wack is having none of it so starts to do something similar as I go by 

Only she stops as they clock each other , it's a girl she used to work with who then slows right down so there's no further contact 

I guess she recognised Mrs wack then

There was a fair bit of that on account of a large %age of men being killed in WW1; spinsters became a thing too. He could fly to Jersey with those ears.

Just dining out in the local pub , looks like all the staff have changed 

The (young) waitress asked how I'd like my steak done , I said rare 

After 10 minutes she's come over and asked if I'd asked for it well done 

No, rare 

But you said you wanted it brown 

Brown , not heard of brown , rare, medium rare , medium, well done but not brown 

I guess they're starting again then 😃

She's not asked if I want my peas green yet
