What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[whitevanman]

Perhaps there's a later episode I missed where she torches the shop, then leads Bagpuss into an empty room to blow him .

Are you sure your watching the childrens version??

The fact that the family who have made our lives hell for 2 1/2 years and our neighbours for over 5 are now plastered all over the ITV News and being shown for what they really are.Their daughter robbed my son (then 15) at knifepoint at the end of our road in April 2007. I haven't smiled as much in years hopefully justice will now be done.

Hooray for the countryside!

Lucky you! Pictures please!

Erm, OK then!

Given about a dozen families around here hell for years, but somehow they always managed to get away with it until now.

Carter USM make me smile. Half a wake, cold and pissed off at stupid o'clock this morning. Banged the Carter CD in and before you know it I'm cranking it up full whack and singing along full tilt.

And when I drive that heap down the roadYou can hear the cheap car stereoVolume knob turned down lowAnd rubbish on the radio

Russian TV adverts from the 1980s. They're utterly mesmerising, especially the video effects, hover chandelier, music... well, everything.

Carter USM make me smile.

They were interviewed by Lamacq just before Christmas. Only got around to seeing them once, but their continued cynicism is every bit as relevant to contemporary society as it was to that of 17 years ago. Nice choice

[chester drawers]

Replaced the worn down brushes in the modern’s blower motor today. I now have the luxury of a warm cabin without having to seek out pot holes to get things moving. Considerably cheaper than replacing the whole assembly too. That's worthy of a bit of a grin when it's minus 8 again in the morning!

Bugger, didn't know that was on, grr. That should be in the GOM thread! Who's the bird this series???

[michiel]

Kylie!

[Mash]

Kylie!

No shit, really???

[michiel]

Nope, but it started with Emma doing Kylie's la, la, la song in that white dress thing.

[Ratdat]

In light of the current brass monkeys weather, finally get this finished makes me happy. Free heating for my workshop!

Good one.. I listened to Handbuilt By Perverts over the weekend. First 2 albums are my faves.

[michiel]

Shit, I have or had Handbuilt, but I think I lost it somewhere. Unrelated maybe, but I should find my Jacob's Mouse cd/vinyl, they made me smile a lot years ago. No Fish Shop Parking most.

[Cavcraft]

'The Only Living Boy In New Cross' is my current fave. I just need to find my 'Best of The Smiths' (Volume 1) CD now and I'll be well chuffed.Daughter has borrowed my favourite cheesy quaver CD (Ibiza Versus Love Parade) and if it's scratched I'll be a bit peed off.

Been listening to 'Rank', The Smiths live lp of late. Very strong material.

I know alot of you hate it, but I love snow.

But Ill probably miss college if it freezes over wednesday night, Stagecoach wont run the bus.

 

Also, Autosport show next thursday, should be good, hopefully there will be some sporty tat. Heres hoping my camera can cope with the shitty NEC lighting.

 

Also, spotting this today made it a little bit better:

[retrogeezer]

wow - thats nice, and standard too!

[michiel]

Few quick pics from sunday, things that made me smile:

 

 

 

 

And some 'aalscholvers' mixing it with gulls and ducks near work - anyone know what these are called in English?

I think they are cormorants in English

[michiel]

Cheers - quick wiki tells me 'the bird family Phalacrocoracidae is represented by some 40 species of cormorants and shags'. The Dutch one is the Phalacrocorax carbo (your Great Cormorant), but we don't get the European shag though...

[seth]

WARNING! The above post might include some mild innuendo. But I'm not sure.

[michiel]

Never! Just some innocent stuff on birds and shags...

[pogweasel]

phalacrocarax aristotelis is the common shag.

 

remember that for future reference.

'Hello darling, would you like to go back to my place for a phalacrocarax aristotelis?'

Wonder if that would work, sounds a bit math-nerdy.
