What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[Pete-M]

I've got the Avon Tour Of Britain 1973/4 videos somewhere, but haven't got a clue how to make it digital and uploadabubble.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

This just caused me to LOL my plums off.

My cat is being fixed! Yay!Its going to be hellishly expensive and has already required a 4 hr round trip to St Helen's* (he's been referred to a posh vet-hospital) plus the cash for all the pain killers and x-rays so far, and its possible he'll have to have that horrible scaffolding stuff poking out of his leg (I'm squeamish) but he should be ok! Another grin-worthy notion was making him have 6 weeks bed-rest minimum! * more grins to be had by hooning along the A55/M56 in the Aggro-animal-ambulance and shocking quite a few overtake-ees

My car (not really shite) passed it's MOT with no shit to sort out either. I've not had many cars - 7 - but this is the first i've got an MOT pass with. I'm almost happy.

Jumped on my bike with no idea really where I was going..... 19.9 miles later I ache like fook :)I've been to the highest point in Nottinghamshire (and touched 38mph on my way back down),did Hardwick Hall cos I could see it from said point, had a pint at the pub at the bottom of the road to the hall, bumped into an old workmate whilst drinking said pint, done on-road and off-road, didn't injure myself and although my bike seems to be a little worse for wear, it made it home ok.YAY.

Meeting Spottedlaurel tonight and getting a ride in his Laurel, What a lovely car!, Very impressed. Top bloke also.

[gearoil]

webuyanycar.com gave us what we wanted for Ms Gearoils Ka.Excellent. No need to entertain the public at large.

[ashmicro]

Wanted to buy this

 

 

Mrs Ash says "No, this house is coming down round our ears. NO MORE computers or I'm gonna leave you. And dont be buying any more old shit cars off that Autocrap or whatever its called"

 

I believe that. She is rather lovely. Can't believe my luck. Every day I wake up next to her, it makes me smile!

 

EDIT: Currently in negotiations to buy a 1991 Rover Metro GTa.

Later edit. Got the Metro, Mrs Ash moved out this morning and that made room for it in the garage. Oh well every cloud etc.

Likewise, thanks to Mr & Mrs Trigger for their hospitaility. It certainly made for a pleasant evening for me, picking up a few hundred old magazines and getting to stretch the Laurel's legs a bit on a fine evening.

Your welcome and happy birthday as well.

I was playing around with the CZ yesterday afternoon, and I inadvertantly left the jump leads connected overnight. This has somehow managed to do what my charger failed to do and force some electricity into the knackered battery - not much mind, but enough to power the coil. So I've finally been able to take it for a blez down the road, and it's a right giggle to ride. Surprisingly light and easy to manoeuvre, the engine is pretty flexible for a two-stroke and the overall package is a lot like a small '60s British bike, only with suspension. I think I'm going to enojy ruining the air quality of north east Norfolk over the summer.

"SHUT UP WOMAN, GET ON MY HORSE!!!"

[scruff]

I've had a GR8 weekend. The LR has been sans-roof this week what with the gorgeous weather and as-of Friday the windscreen was has been folded flat as well. Excellent fun for the 80-mile round trip commute! On Saturday I had the steam roller out and doing a job of work, compacting some road plainings. Then in the evening I took the Audi down to Surrey for my pal's birthday party. My mate Munkie was also there with his Firenza, which is utterly ace.

If my eyes don't deceive me, the background pic in that video is of Stourhead in Wiltshire, a National Trust garden dating back to the 1700s.I bet the old dears in the souvenir shop would be horrified at that malarkey going on in their stately grounds.

Had an excellent meet at the Q Park today. Very good and varied turn out.

[Mr Lobster]

Good weekend all round. Took Lobsta_Jnr for a push around a local country park sorta thing and had an ice cream yesterday, came home and cleaned the SEAT as a treat for passing the MOT then revived the R4 from winter slumber for a Q Park meet today which was a damn pleasant way to spend an afternoon. Came home, made Spag_Bolognese and eated it.11.5/10

Victoria Coren.

Two strokes.

Victoria Coren.

God yes! I've always liked her, that husky voice is just gorgeous. Then she appears on Have I Got News For You and proves to be very quick and witty. MELT!

Should be ok to fund those late night Ebay-shite buys too:"becoming the first women to win a European Poker Tour event, taking home $941,513 for 1st place in London in 2006".

Seeing the Yorksire Air Museum's new Nimrod fly overhead, about 10 minutes ago.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Seems to be an amazing character that Victoria Coren, I love her! NO SRSLY, I R IN LOVE, LIKE A PUPPY. she's written a few pretty dreadful columns for the Guardian though, looks like she's faxed 'em in from the middle of a high-stakes poker game.I think she has won a fair few poker championships, she is a serious playa by all accounts.

Am I the only one immune to the charms of Ms. Coren? I like Only Connect, and every time I watch it, I think how much more I would like it if it was presented by Robert Robinson instead. I don't have any wish to see his top bollocks though.

[Vin]

I used to like to watch Balderdash & Piffle which Victoria Coren presented. She sometimes used to say rude words. Which I liked When I was able to get BBC4, she was good on Only Connect, where like Pog said, she humours the dullards. I like that too.Her Dad, Alan Coren was a top bloke, who also endorsed the use of salad cream to polish Standard Vanguard bumpers...
