First one gets to a urinal, and moments later says, "Ooh, my hands are cold". Second one gets to other urinal, says, "Ooh, so they are!". Brilliant. Still laughing now, first guy very embarrassed, doesn't know what to do or say next.

Posts: 5,714 Thanks: 79 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: What's made you smile today? (Part II) Now I should be annoyed about this..but we've got building work and decorating going on and I'd had a conversation with the wife about a large wardrobe and chest full of books...which went a long the lines don't move the chest by the handle it's too heavy for flat pack to take. Also the wardrobe is a 2 person job and is also crap flat pack so has to be emptied to be moved..now my wife's reaction to this was you always put obstacles in the way.. Now apparently she relayed my thoughts faithfully to my father in law who promptly ripped the handle off the chest and broke the wardrobe.. I should be angry I'm just laughing my arse off..

As I approached the lights they were changing and I noticed a recycling collection truck further ahead. I was in the left lane waiting when an Audi stopped next to me. He was in the outside lane headed into a contraflow so I was planning to give way anyway but he sat there pumping the throttle, revving the engine so the blow off valve was acting like a limiter. As soon as the amber light was illuminated he shot off, all four tyres spinning, hit the limiter, blow off valve, more wheel spin and he was gone. A couple of hundred yards later he was stuck behind the rubbish collectors. I drew up behind, flashed my headlights a few times to get his attention and as soon as I could see his face in the mirror gave him a slow clap. ![]()

Posts: 5,741 Thanks: 456 Trader Rating: 1 ![]() | Re: What's made you smile today? (Part II) After a couple of days of fighting, have successfully installed Win7 Home Premium on my old Netbook to replace Win7 Starter. Also added more memory. Faster load, and now talks to the three Win10 machines, so swapping data between is easy. Looked at the process of moving MES from old system to new. Found my licence dates back to Jan 2012. Time to pay Yani some more money I think. So new licence bought, and latest version installed. Keep up the good work!

Paint a bit faded, steering wheel a bit worn, and driver's seat a little lower (but only a little), but apart from that, difficult to tell it from a new one in the way it drove and handled. Very competent (car, not necessarily driver), but not exciting.
