Things that made you smile today

A driver is in for a shock after workers at one of Scotland's busiest railway stations cut up the car park around his vehicle, leaving it on a tiny island of asphalt.

Workers at Edinburgh Waverley blocked off an area of the parking compound on Thursday ready for resurfacing work.

But, when they turned up for work in the morning, a Mercedes had parked in the middle of the cordoned-off area.

Undeterred, the crew dug up the surface all around the dark blue car.

Workers did build a tiny ramp in front of the car to allow its owner to drive away on his or her return.

A Network Rail spokesman said: "The car park had been cordoned off so we could begin work to resurface it and improve the lighting at the facility for our passengers.

"The motorist moved the barriers and parked in the worksite, but we've left a ramp for them to exit and will be happy to return their vehicle once they contact us."

IF WOMEN ONLY TRUSTED THEIR HUSBANDS!

There comes a time when a woman just has to trust her husband...

For example...

A wife comes home late at night, and quietly opens the door
to her bedroom.

From under the blanket she sees four legs instead of two.

She reaches for a baseball bat and starts hitting the
blanket as hard as she can.

Leaving the covered bodies groaning, she goes to the kitchen
to have a drink.

As she enters, she sees her husband there, reading a magazine.

"Hi Darling", he says, "Your parents have come to visit us,
so I let them stay in our bedroom. Did you say "hello"?



What deep thinkers men are...

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.
The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking on various topics.

Finally I thought about an age old question:

Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.
Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.
Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is the reason for my conclusion.
A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, It might be nice to have another child."
On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."
I rest my case. Time for another beer.

Look what was waiting at home

I count 10 here so according to DVB/eBay @£98.01 each that's £980.10 worth of goodies - you'll need an armed guard to carry those around.m

Laughing, or even smiling, wasn't easy today, having had one of my dogs put down yesterday, but the following website managed to put a broad smile across my face: http://kalecoauto.com/ A website of rare, unusual, and hard to find auto parts

Finally, after 4+ years of planning -- only to have life interfere multiple times, I received my container loaded with M100 parts.

Anyone in the US need some parts off a RHS, UK body and chassis?

For those keen on seeing the differences between the UK and Fed bodies, the top is a new Fed tub and the bottom is a stripped UK body.

Several differences are obvious just from this picture...

If it ended up at Geoff's, then yes.

Okey Doke. Good job the lorry fitted down his drive - with about 2" to spare!
