I've been and had my MOT, my wife's car is this afternoon.

Was it a pass or fail though?

 

[potsy]

I heard the same thing. I think they were referring to the chances of @potsy cycling....

I am planning a ride some time this week, just waiting for the weather to warm up

Still got 40 miles to do for the 1000 100 mile target

I am now Hofficially a pensioner and in receipt of a (very small) pension.

It is enough for a few luxuries each month, and the lump sum that I have just received will be very useful for bigger purchases like a newer car, or travelling to the Hebrides.

Welcome to the club, have you looked into pension credit?

 

[potsy]

Fixed that for you

Pah!

I smashed the 10 mile target weeks ago

 

[TVC]

That means you’ve cycled more than @The Velvet Curtain yet again

Scuse me?

 

[raleighnut]

I thought you were a walker

@Fnaar, 1 for you to edit I think.

Some challenges are not worthy of getting out of bed for.

The day he does more mileage than me I'll consider myself a none cyclist

 

[petek]

Mileage is like gender.
'Performative'.

You'll have to explain that petek, I'm on holiday so don't like to think too hard

The car failed on a broken rear coil spring. I've got a new pair in the garage which I've had for years. I wanted an excuse to crawl around underneath the car.

Well I might just give up on trying to be fit and healthy, went trail running with my dog earlier after my parents taking him on holiday for a week, really badly twisted it - like a cracking snapback - I just feel like what else will go wrong - maybe I am destined not to run

I am not old enough to receive a State Pension, so I do not think that applies, but thank you for reminding me.

As a much younger wol, I worked for several organisations which happened to be part of the same pension scheme. I fortunately had the sense to keep the pension and not transfer it anywhere, so it has mounted up fairly nicely. I now get free prescriptions and free eye tests, but not a bus pass yet.

Which 'it' did you twist?

You are in good company here, not an athlete amongst them

I have a strange desire for curry and chips. It must be the weather.
