What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Oh, and the i8 has this in the option's package

 

That is outstanding,just imagine the sort of twat who'll pay 12 grand for this sort of bollocks.

 

I'm particularly looking forward to Cavcraft's response to this, obviously they will feel the need to have a similar programme if they are to compete in the market for overpaid,self obsessed wankers.

( I have my suspicions that Greggs ,Razzle and Shitefest may be partners going forward)

[steve_earwig]

OMG, I thought the 12 grand included a car!

 

You'd think for that sort of money they'd send a hooker around once a week too...

[The Moog]

Wouldn't this be something that they gift good customers? Look we love you have this £12k magazine.

 

Oh and that is a lovely cow.... Wanna swap for some new iBeanz with stop start growing capabilities and iPod connectivity?

[mat_the_cat]

I can think of nothing worse than going along to the sorts of places that would attract the kind of people that £12k package is aimed at. It's almost worth ticking that box, just to see where to avoid.

SWMBO complained to Lloyds about us sitting on the hard shoulder of the M25 for the afternoon when my wheel fell off, well they phoned her back this morning saying thet an find no record of our 6.15pm call, only the 8.30pm call where we asked then where the fuck were they. So they've refunded us the £118 we had to pay at cobham services to get home!

 

So the ZX now has only cost me £360 (had to pay a tenner extra mileage as we were over the 50 limit) rather than £480!

[beko1987]

The ZX ticked over 265,000 miles just now on the way to Euro car parts!

[Cavcraft]

It'll probably click over to 275,000 by the time you finally get the right bit.

I saw one of those BMW thingies at Frankfurt airport. I manged to take a pic whilst everyone else was gushing/praying over it but then I decided to delete straight away as it looks bloody awful, rather boring and I'm not a fan of BMWs.

Y U AT FRANKFURT AIRPORT MO? Connecting flight to see MRS_STERLING?

Just run in, then! The XUD in the van is slowly winning me back over again.

 

C4 clicked over to 137k on the way back from Peebo, on the way to recording a OMGMPGRECORD of 64 mpg. No cars were tailgated in a quality fashion while doing this.

Yep, had to spend 5 hours in the airport (the same on the way back) thankfully the gate from where I was supposed to fly from (until they changed it last minute) was very quiet, no people to be seen at all, like an abandonned lounge.

Apparently on the top floor of work there's an old toilet that's not plumbed in. But now there's an investigation going on because someone took a big dump in it and the cleaner had to sort it manually. That makes me laugh far more than it actually should

Watching Farnborough air display live on Planes TV.

[Stanky]

Watching Farnborough Air Show live out the office window

 

Possible only benefit to working in Aldershot. The Vulcan was good to watch the other day as it took about a hundred circuits before it was cleared/able to land so got a good view and listen.

[Pillock]

Class 50 struggling up Lickey End, except this one was on the M5 route up the hill giving it's bogies a break.

 

 

Also saw this scooting around in an Italian-City sort of way

 

 

And this always makes me laugh, seen this company at car boot sales flogging meat but I always think the & is an A.

Real comedy meat transporting requires a Wudy

I prefer our local meat van's slogan "Pleased to meet you, meat to please you".  I shall have to get a picture but I always forget.

WTF is a local meat van?

It sounds like some scallys off Shameless selling condemned meat from the back of an untaxed Bedford Midi in a boarded up pub's carpark to fat listless chav teenagers and their kids, between going on Jeremy Kyle and taking the kids to hospital to have their rotten baby teeth removed.

 

Or is it a big jolly red faced butcher ,complete with stripy apron and a 63 plate Vivaro with gold sign writing selling overpriced orgasmic free range buffalo burgers to yummy mummy's ,rushing between David Lloyd and getting the X5 valeted ?

[beko1987]

Ours appear to come from Birmingham if the label on my sausages is to be believed. He just shouts out all day "pork, gammon and sausages, £10, I'll cut them as I go today" "or "5 pound of sausages, £3.50" etc over and over again.

 

If we ever go in the morning and are having a bbq in the afternoon I'll ask him how much meat for £15 and hope he doesnt think I mean something else, could be a bargain

Still my favourite

My mate recons the gauge of if you live in a middle class area or is if you get a visit by the cheese van. The mobile cheese emporium that delivers a range of cheese, hummus and olives to your door.

You also have to question the sanity of the person who picked the Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce twitter id

"Apparently"...?

[fordperv]

I have just seen that 3 wheeled red mx5 that someone posted in a spotted thread. It was driving through Fenton

[inconsistant]

There used to be a Cheesemongers in Beckenham.

Spotted this on Classic Scrapyard finds on Facebook. Seems legit.

4000kms in the Metrobus of shite done this last month. Last school visit tomorrow so I'm sitting in a premier inn in Peterborough then the final day in Cambridge. Over this time it's been to London three times (LEZ? Pah!), Cambridge, Chelmsford, back to base in Brum three times for a wash, brush up and crew change and lots of other places in between visiting schools for Anglian Ruskin University.

 

Oil used by that paragon of virtue and oil leaks, the trusty Gardner 6LXB? Nil.

 

For a 10.45 normally aspirated diesel with auto box, it's returned about 13mpg too.

 

Not bad for a 28 year old bus withdrawn as worn out over five years ago with accident damage.

Have you seen the video that goes with it?! It's one of the most bonkers things I've ever seen. Honestly, you have to watch it.

 

[Angrydicky]

ROFL just watched some fat chav woman dent the entire side of her 62 plate people carrier on a fence post while trying to reverse into an (enormous) space. She then got out and started complaining! Haha, you do wonder how some people managed to pass their driving test.
