The Retirement Thread

A fifty quid is hardly worth stealing for resale purposes.

Sell it for 10 quid and he's got his days drug fix??

A hike to town then completing the Mystery Treasure Hunt wander around town with pals.
We started it a year ago, got too cold after a couple of hours (with their slow walking dog!) & failed to find a time until now.
Still, will end with a nice lunch and beers 🍻

That's what I would say.

Silly question but I assume a combo lock still needs a chain/cable. Surely bolt cutters can cut throught that ?

I have 2 and they are on the end of a cable

I can find the combination on both just by pulling them and fiddling with the dials
so they are just for parking up when I stop for a coffee and can see it!

When I was a teacer in a "difficult" school I was teaching IT and had 2 cupboards with laptops in them
In their undoubted wisodm the IT support from the council insisted on having combination locks on the cupboards

One of the kids cracked it!
to be fair to him - he left the lock closed but not pushed together so it LOOKED OK until I looked closely - rather then taking anything
WHen I asked him he said the challenge was just too much
which was fair enough I though - I would have!!


as an extra - the IT support refused to let us change the combination after that!!

I've switched my degree from international relations to environmental science. The first module is the same for each and, with my previous science education, I'm finding it very interesting.

So, I started out wanting to something totally different and ended up back with science studies, although down a different rabbit hole to msy last one.

Mrs Tkk's first one was work related and medical focussed. Her Masters dissertation last year was on Cholera in Geordieland so quite adjacent🤔

Bright and Chilly. I have lunch with 4 ex work colleagues, worked with them for 40+ years. The conversation will inevitably drift to various incidents and mishaps that occured over the years. One is still working part time a couple of days a week.
In other news my shower has started a steady drip drip drip. We live in a hard water area and the thermostatic cartridge has probably gunked up with limescale. I did try to remove it myself but couldn't budge it, Plumber is booked in for next week, meanwhile Mrs Tkk has said that I am allowed to use her shower in the interim...
