What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Somehow "meet at half two" turned into "meet at half four" when I was already on my way to the bus. So I'm sitting outside a flat roof wetherspoons drinking strongbow and chatting shit with people who come outside to smoke. This may not be The Life, but it is certainly A Life.

I forgot to CC my boss in an email last week. She phoned me yesterday asking about the subject, I admitted I'd forgotten to include her in said email and she says....."I'll need to spank you the next time you're in the office"  😳

I'd see how many of these emails you can a store up ready for a date..... with an employment lawyer.  To make it a better case, you need to send a response saying "I really am freaked out by this statement and trust you aren't serious" and hope she replies "Stop being such a girl"

watching rick stein and he went back to bordeaux area and visited la tupina (poshest steak resturant)

last time he bought cote de boeuf and chips and they were freshly cut (ie all odd sizes) we used to do them like that when we had a chip pan

and it was 75 quid then

he didnt order steak this time (bought the spit roast chicken) and they showed the chips and while they still cook them in duck fat - theyre now straight cut and they looked a bit like frozen to me - like the ones you buy in frituurs and stuff

shame

might visit them one day (its been 20 years)

Parked the Focus ST170 next to a new Puma earlier and grinned at how much more right the Focus is than a car that's probably worth 20 times what I paid for it. 

The feeling of the car when turning in is utterly addictive, it's just such a bloody nice thing to drive.
