What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[beko1987]

Meh its funny!

[The Moog]

As regards Sunday, the best thing I can suggest is to just go at your own pace, don't worry what other people are doing or you'll very likely end up burning yourself out. Then you'll not only suffer but you won't actually enjoy it, and it'll play on your mind.

 

cheers cav. That is my plan. I am not built for speed so my intention is just to finish.

New shite brought home tonight! Temporary auto shite bought while I have a duff collar bone. Good excuse eh? Thread to follow... 

[Ghosty]

The person I thought was scamming me on eBay gave me a positive feedback. Seemingly they've got their supposedly lost item!

'banned cnut in the golf traaa la laa la laaaaa'

I'm in shock... car passed it's MOT yesterday with no faults. Not bad for a 29 year old car bought off Autoshite.

 

This place isn't what it used to be, etc...

[garethj]

Of course, it's all covered in the Gilt-Edged-Guarantee; an MoT pass or I'll send you a cheque covering the cost.

I always thought that was just an urban legend - shows what I know

[fordperv]

Wow I wonder if they still work, I have 2 atari 2600 the old games are cool

[Spiny Norman]

....and this is what you do to people on Ebay selling DIY ringing kits.

[The Moog]

I did it. Hurt nowhere near as much as i thought i would now. Walked a bit and had to push my bike up the last 1/4 of each of the hills.

 

Bike was a dream, gears need tweaking but highly recommend getting it fitted. I need to get some bike shoes as my barefoot trainers were rubbish

 

Really enjoyed it and already booked the next one.

Me too!

The angry video game nerd (of youtube fame) is making a film about it.

[Pillock]

Well done Moogman!

[beko1987]

Well done.

 

That escort thread on Fb was funny. Who is Andy Dangerfield? Crap with real names

[Ghosty]

Bought a wireless mouse on eBay for 1p + £1.50 delivery.

 

And it's lead me to find out there's £25 in my PayPal I'd forgotten about!

[Cavcraft]

Nice one Moog, good going.

[MrDuke]

Further to my tractor-related grump on Saturday in the GOM/P thread, a very nice-sounding lady from plod phoned me this morning, spent ages getting the details straight, then informed me she would personally be visiting the driver, going over his tractor with a fine-toothed comb, and I quote "reading him the riot act". She also allegedly 'wishes that there were more people like me around, then there'd be less accidents' (clearly she's never seen me making progress on twisty backroads).

So HURRAH for conscientious coppers, it seems they do still exist.

[phil_lihp]

Well done Moog!

[Mr Livered]

That's a result, Mr Duke. Although it should be *fewer* accidents, not "less". Outrageous.

[twosmoke300]

Words are cheap and easy ,bet they dont even go there.

[MrDuke]

In my experience, the Heddlu do make the effort, possibly because they have less in the way of gang warfare and human trafficking to take up their time? A good few years ago, a friend who was visiting had his quarterlight smashed and stereo and CD changer stolen - when he reported it, a 'crime scene' officer came out the same day to dust his car for prints   Even more bizarrely, a whole year later he received a phone call saying that some CDs had been recovered in a house raid, were any of them his?   Living outside civilisation does have its plus points.

[MrDuke]

Wow, they actually haven't changed the shape of the headlamps for 6 years! You're slacking, VAG.

[Pillock]

It doesn't *look* like they have, but I bet the parts computer shows 47 different types of headlamp for each side, based on year, engine type, spec level, whether it has leather trim or not, and if it has cream or grey headlining.

[willswitchengage]

Never thought I'd ever get so excited over a computer peripheral, but I've just bought a Mad Catz RAT3 and it is AWESOME!

[quicksilver]

I've just stumbled across a trailer for a forthcoming post-apocalyptic film called 'The Rover'. I guess it must be set in a dystopian wasteland where there's no transport because all the cars have suffered HGF.

King George VI was working his way down a line of fighter pilots awarding them their DFCs.

 

 

'I am giving you this m-medal for s-shooting d-down a F-Focke W-Wulf' ....stammered the King

 

'Well actually Your Majesty, I shot down two Focke Wulfs'.... said the fighter pilot

 

'It s-says here one F-Focke W-Wulf'

 

(pause)

 

'Anyway one F-Focke W-Wulf or two F-Focke W-Wulfs you are only getting one f-fuckin medal'  ...stuttered the King
