What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

I suppose this fits into the "grin" category.  My landlady came round today (well yesterday now) with her husband to continue the upgrades to my heating system and also to sign some updated tenancy paperwork - she had warned me several times (quite apologetically) that she would have to put the rent up (which was fair enough given that it hadn't gone up for a couple of years and was still below the market rate), so I was expecting quite a chunky increase.  She's put it up by £70 a month, which is actually less than the extra I'll have in my pay packet from this month from my pitiful payrise and the fact that I've finished paying for the bike I bought on the Cycle to Work scheme last year.  So I'm not going to be any worse off (at least not from that perspective - other bills are of course going up as well).

So that's a relief, and a much needed bit of good news this week.

Don’t you mean “ the thriving bastard landlady has increased my rent taking all of my pay rise!”

This sort of thing was big in Malta in the 90s (and might still be now but I've not been back in 20 years). 

A Triumph 1300 claiming to have an overhead cam engine. 

 

Pushrod power. 

 

And a Marina proudly boasting its B Series diesel. 

Whilst I was there once I enquired in a local motor factors. They made them to order, just come back in a couple of days. So I ordered a pair. Unfortunately they didn't have any older Triumph logos so I had to make do with the Leyland plughole. I can't remember the exact wording I chose but I didn't claim to have an overhead cam like the one above! 

I kind've thought it would be funny at the time. Like a lot of things on holiday that don't seem such a good a good idea when you get home. So I never fitted them but I still have them somewhere in the loft if I ever change my mind. And I got a much better souvenir of Malta than most people come home with.

They were everywhere at the time but at a time when every photo cost actual money those were the only three I took pictures of. These days I'm sure it would be quite easy to knock some up if you want to try and restart the trend.

You know how Aldi have rip off names for their products such as Seal bars instead of Penguin biscuits, well I spotted a cracker last night.

I was buying the Mrs a bottle of wine and there's a popular wine called '19 Crimes'... Aldi are selling a wine labelled 'The Retrobates' 😆
