What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

i’m currently looking for a honda crv, this one looks promising 

location : liverpool 

maybe a bit of a trek but not if it’s worth it. 

i always click on seller details, can often give an insight into who / what to expect……

aye, i’ll not be travelling to liverpool with £££ cash in my pocket to meet him and his mates then ! 

(hopefully) (metaphorical) bullet dodged there

Mrs Yoss is away so I treated myself to  proper butchers breakfast from a proper butcher. 

Than came home with a couple of their pies.

MK1 son has just sent me these, he's just had an ear op, and is bored shitless, so he's going through old photos.

It's not that long ago....oh hang on, that's two of my sons in the pic, and one is now 32, and the other 29.

Mother-in-Law was on the phone to my wife this morning. Wife handed me the phone so MiL could ask about my eye op. She them proceeded to say she had cut her bush. Fortunately I remembered before I burst out laughing that she had  mentioned she wanted to cut back a shrub in her garden. 😂😂

Phoning a water company today. Endless “press1 for  this etc etc. When I finally got to the option I needed , it was answered with “Hi, I’m your virtually assistant , tell me in a few words how I can help”. Totally pissed off by now , I just said’ “oh fuck off!”

To my great surprise, the reply was “OK, we understand, we will connect you with someone who can help”.

AI is really improving.

What is it with me and german trains

Always seem to go the wrong way

Luckily bought a 24h ticket not a single - wondered why it was 7 euro not 3

This has reminded me of looking at Interrail tickets. It's something like €690 for a ticket that will get you unlimited train rides all over europe for a full calendar month. I have seen trainline tell me that it's nearly that much for a standard class return from Dundee to London.

[hairnet]

Ahhh

Glad i brought this with me

German radio is always odd

I watched this on Czech TV for about ten minutes last week. Still none the wizer. He floated about for a bit then went a bit crazy then went back to floating again. Bounced off the satellite a few times. No words were spoken but there was backing music. 

[hairnet]

This guy is singing now and im thinking it was o sole mio but the words were different

Very sou

[hairnet]

Brotherhood of man now

Tenancy of the office starts on Monday!!

Will now be spending the weekend making sure my workstation PC is all set up ready to be moved there. I've mostly been using my laptop for work recently because my home office is a tip right now, and my workflow has changed a bit since I was regularly using the workstation, so there's a bit of tweaking to be done.

I'm very excited, I think it'll be a big boost in my productivity and general wellbeing, since it'll get me out of the house regularly along with giving me better separation between work time and personal time. I think it'll also help me spend less on shite on the internet since it'll be less of a big deal to just nip to the shop to buy stationery and whatnot. (I live on a farm with only one bus an hour into town, so it can mean a multi-hour saga to get to the shop to buy whatever so I just buy it from amazon) Also means I'll be more inclined to go to the proper butcher and grocers since both are a short walk from the office.

 

I'd like to thank "quitting drinking" for this, since without doing that I'd probably not be feeling motivated enough about work to consider it, nor would it be as affordable.

[hairnet]

I wanted to get closer not further away lmao
