What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

[vulgalour]

Can't find the "Cars and Men" thread to put that Renault that Moog found into.  It deserves to be in there.

Poor old R1 - it really doesn't know its place in the world any more.

Actually, for the first time in ages I think it really does - It hits its target demographic (13-23) pretty much spot on. I'm an exception being a 50 year old regular listener

As I'm locked into listening either Rock Fm (generic 80's soft rock cd-clone) from the welder to my left, or Signal 1 (last years Now cd on loop) from the other then I have my ipod tuned into R1 all day

Ok so some of the dj's range from childish to the extreme creepy perve but the actual music is varied enough for me to make it through 8 hrs

There's only so much "Losing My Religon" anyone can take........

Yesterday we went for a pub lunch and I ended up getting the last train home.

I thought this sign was ironic and it made me smile

Much as I love to listen to the radio, at work it can be so divisive.

Years ago I very nearly punched a guy I otherwise got on okay with simply because he would not allow anything other than a crappy dance station that played the venga boys 5 times a day.

I would change it to anything else at every opportunity and he would have changed it back by the time I had got back to the bench.

The radio mysteriously broke while he was on holiday.

Missus Moog has given me* £100 month car pocket money to be spent with as I want without complaints**. 

 

So i have spent the morning looking at ways I can buy a small decent MPG car for less than £100...  

 

 

 

* obviously out of my wages

** the most important part of the deal

 

Speak to Cavcraft, I'm sure he can do you a deal for a car a month for £100, and occasionally throw in an ice-cream freezer or X-Box instead if you get bored.

 

Alternatively use it all for the inevitable autoshite not really raffles and again you could end up rivalling cms

I'm pretty shit at betting as it goes, but had a five bet football accumulator tonight with three outsiders. Five quid on and won £331.00

^^ Now you can just give the Rover away

Reminds me of the job I had where we had to suffer punishments if we so much as hummed a bit of Vengaboys, usually push ups, increasing in number with every failure. Gosh that song was catchy.

I'm going to send you down to Western House and have you say that. They will make sure that you will be forever swimming in ambrosia and virgins (just don't tell anyone about the latter, it's frowned upon).

Here's a shite video of what we got up to this weekend, first outing since a five year rebuild and first time ploughing for seven years. Went a treat!!

That is 50 Shades of Awesome. I love watching these things at work. 

 

Also... weird fact.. girls love traction engines. I should stick this in the online dating thread. 

 

"Yo beeatch, I iz takin yo a$$ to tha muthafukin STEEM rallaye.. they be pimpin tha enginez gud, yo"

 

Beats Nando's for a date. 

[MarvinsMom]

got caught up in a queue of traffic the other day going out of Pickering.

 

but it was deffo a grin as the queue was caused by a traction engine called "Provenance" and it was the steam weekend, that weekend.

 

and he was going like stink ba\ck to the show ground, i think he might of been doing 7, maybe 8 mph!!

[vulgalour]

House hunting and the next potential property has a beige Rover P6 parked behind a gold Renault Laguna parked on the driveway of the house opposite.  Should be a good place to live, then.

Yeah and they've all got awesome names, too which mean something. What the French Connection UK is 'Bluemotion' going to mean in 100 years time? French Connection UK-All, that's what.

saw shooting stars above my back garden

saw shooting stars above my back garden

I saw house of fools through the window of a neighbouring caravan the other week

[jakebullet]

I too would like to claim shooting star spottage. I got 3, and it makes me very excited as all previous astronomical things (especially the no one alive will ever see this again type) have been well and truly missed.

Aye I just saw George Dawes in his romper suit take out three rooftop aerials - I was agog

[Richard]

I saw two shooting stars last night, I wished on them but they were only satellites.

Is it wrong to wish on space hardware?

Money saving grin; 

 

had the renewal through for the AA, they were after robbing me of £209.52 (joint membership with Mrs_outlaw, roadside and relay).

 

I searched for alternatives; RAC & Green Flag. Rac wanted 170 odd, Green Flag 140odd.

 

Just rang the AA they've agreed to discount to £16, as I'm a "gold" customer.

 

TOUCH.

Brilliant, giving me a serious case of wanderlust!

Found my wheel arch liner in the boot of mums car. Ace.

I saw a few, but nothing like the 100 an hour some said may be observable.

You people are the worst, I dreamt that I was trying to buy a red Rover 25. When I got there I had the expansion tank out and it was in my hand. It was full of rust, so I'm complaining that the head gasket had gone.

 

The guys girlfriend said what does that mean? I said its like taking a ham sandwich and replacing the ham.

 

Which is a beautiful metaphor or I've been on the bath salts again.

 

P.s. I don't want a Rover 25.
