What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Pillock]

Cheers chaps. It's not actually a "massive promotion" (did I really type that? Must have been drunk) but it's a bit more cash, and it's completely different to the rut I've been stuck in for 8 years.Plus it's a more generic role - a Technical Trainer can find work in plenty of places, a "Notebook Repair Person" is a bit more limited....I think I might go and get myself a Shandy Bass to celebrate

Excellent news on the job result. Hope this is a lucky time - I'm going to try and win a project in Sudan next week. GR8 for danger money. 70 days on, 5 days off for 18 months - GR9 for overtime.

Coming into a warm house after a long cold day in town with Mrs Hoker, finding a beer in my fridge, re-discovering Thatcher On Acid, and settling down to stare at this forum for a few minutes/hours/years....

Damn right, had me laughing out loud!!

It is quite amusing how this or the grumpy thread do occasionally, but I reckon with a specific frequency, turn into a dirty old man gathering.

Almost always revolving around Allsop and Bunton too, possibly not entirely flattering that a bunch of blokes who love Talbot Tagoras find them attractive!

NEVER!! They'd be thrilled and flattered, surely?

Just the piccy of Steptoe makes me grin , pickled onions and bathtub springs to mind as does splitting the house in half including the telly

[seth]

Steptoe? I googled for a picture of Pogweasel.

I'm sure there is a picture in the Autoshite archive or a Tagora wedding car!

Nowt wrong with eyeing up a bit of crumpet every now and then. Unless the missus is looking of course. And on that note I'm actually going on topic....Many moons back when the lovely Mrs 'vette and I were courting I was heavily into motorbikes.Mrs 'vette was in one of her bunny boiling moods one day and I decided to exact some form of subtle revenge for her constant bleeding nagging.And then it came to me in a flash. Literally in a flash...We went for a ride quite a way from home and as soon as I spotted a few birds walking in the opposite direction we were travelling I flashed the headlights on my bike at them to attract attention. 20 or so yards away they all started waving like mad and my missus went absolutely mental.I just dropped the bike a couple of cogs to drown out the nagging/moaning and eventually stopped a mile or so later. She demanded to know who these girls were and I truthfully answered I didn't have a clue. She was seriously unamused and I couldn't stop grinning all the way home.This trick was repeated on a few other occasions, all miles from home and all with the same results.She was far happier when I eventually bought a car instead!

Yeah, I reckon Krusty Allsopp has featured at least half a dozen times in the Autoshite Mass Perving events (incorporating the Dribble-o-thon). All it'll take is one mention of Vicky Butler-Henderson though, Pog will make some vomiting noises and the whole thing will grind to a halt.

Ahh, as I recall it was more like 'They won't show no nipple if you ride a 250 triple'

I've just learnt to block out nagging, it's actually got to a point where my brain can actually turn the nagging into a flat, muffled noise that doesn't hurt my ears. She no longer seems to notice I don't listen anymore.

A bloody useful skill.

There is another on there with a BIN of £277, but realistically it's worth about £70-80. Still, £12 is a massive bargain and i'm well chuffed as i've been after this for aaaaaages.

Good service from a retailer. Decided Friday night not to buy the Saab I wanted. Went into town on Sat morning and bought a home airconditioning system instead. The staff member knew what he was talking about and got me the correct system. Mon was a bank holiday so the installer called in Tues evening to check the work required and arrange installation. Today Friday I got home from work and the unit was looking like it had always been there and working well. Thats 4 working days from purchase. Thanks Harvey Normans!I can sleep in a cool bedroom tonight

Proper manufacturer wheeltrims make me happy, especially on cars which rarely sport their original ones nowadays.

 

 

Just spent ages carefully cleaning all the road muck and brake dust out of all the little holes and polished them up. Concours spec! All I need to do now is be in a marriage with a wife who regularly locks herself in the bathroom to have a bit of a cry.

[pogweasel]

WOW, GR9 wurk, Hirst!

What a way to spend a friday night, you really know how to live*

What you can't see is that there's some proper tasty young lady on the other side of the bed. She can sod off though, I'm going to talk to my Internet buddies!
