What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

Weirdly enough, one of my mates posted it on fb. He lives in Holmfirth, so if you've been around that area, you've been Papped.

 

I was camping in it last night in Edale, Small world!

With that written on the sides of the van, I don't know what to think

Just bidsniped my way to an ebay touring bike win, even if the final value was 50% greater than my budget!

Couldn't sleep last night due to heatstroke (still think hours of football in the park whilst drinking Kopparberg was a good idea) so stayed up torrenting in front of the laptop instead. If anybody else is as interested in dystopic military/social history as I am, then Trinity and Beyond is a great documentary film about nuclear weapons.

You'll no doubt be aware of the nuclear weapons archive website!

What makes me grin... was on a hire to Campbeltown yesterday with an amateur football club. The look on their faces when I actually shouted "SHIT ME!" as we passed this...

Threw them off and hightailed it back for pics. Bloody lovely.

Ok, so my earlier cat guard did not work. So I've come up with a more hardcore version

 

 

If you ever want your cat to act as if he's just trodden on a landmine, try putting down some aluminium foil

Haha, excellent cat-proofing!

 

What just made me grin was not getting bidsniped on the wing mirrors I've been bidding on for the Princess. Providing they arrive safely and I can be brave enough to drill holes in the wings, we'll be onto a winner!

Driving home on the A12 this afternoon in the Cortina i had a Police Transit Connect van drive up behind me and follow closely for a few miles, eventually it overtakes me, I look across to see two coppers in their early 40's grinning at me and give me the thumbs up before pulling away.

 

I couldn't stop laughing!, Amazingly that's the second time I've had Police do that to me! Last time it was a Traffic Volvo estate giving me the thumbs up.

Is that twig to hold the thermostat open ?

 

Have a look at the return pipe where it goes into the header-tank.There is a brass insert that blocks up with crud.Sometimes a very thin philips screwdriver will clear it but often needs to be drilled out.

Still able to walk this morning after completing the London to Brighton Nightride, followed by a ride back home to Wokingham (123 miles in total). Not bad for a 46-year-old man with knackered kidneys

Some miserable bastard on the Farina forum who forever goes on about how he and his (no doubt long suffering) wife use a 60's Oxford and Minx as their daily drivers. Here's examples of some of the drivel he spouts:

 

IVE BEEN INTO OLD VEHICLES SINCE I WAS 11 YEARS OLD AND NEVER REALLY LIKED ANYTHING MODERN .STYLES ETC ,IVE HAD QUITE A FEW BMC VEHICLES A FEW OLD FORDS AND A FEW OLD ROVERS,AND A NICE MK2 JAGUAR,MY WIFE DRIVES A 1965 HILLMAN MINX DELUXE ,BOTH CARS ARE DRIVEN EVERY DAY. WE WONT HAVE ANYTHING MODERN NEAR OUR DRIVEWAY.

 

get rid of moderns full stop woud be better

 

His opinion on a custom 2 door Oxford...

 

if youre going to customize things ,look at this and you'll hopefully change your mind.and leave it as standard.

 

...and a Peugeot 404 somebody spotted:

 

the best thing to come out of france is the ferry back to blighty.ha ha !

Hey Dan, every time he mentions his Oxford daily driver you should offer to buy it off him as you want something interesting to take round Hednesford at the next all-Farina meet. Then C+P his incredulous responses onto here to we can see them, obviously.
