The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Morning Captain Picard.

Morning all fellow retirees, it's grey and windy outside. Meeting my son for a burrito lunchtime and then the other old codgers this evening for the weekly escape committee meeting. Ale will be imbibed, and possibly a curry afterwards.

 

[PaulSB]

Oh yes I also have the nerve-wracking process of jumping in to an eBay auction at the very last moment. Mrs P has found some Crown Green bowls she wants to buy. She feels I'm competent at this!!!!!

Another day in paradise, the sun is up and the sky is blue.

Morning all fellow retirees, it's grey and windy outside.

And inside my Y fronts.

Use a sniping app. Easy peasy!

Off to Porlock today and a walk down to Culbone church, then on to the Bottom Ship for fish and chips.

That's cheating and not fair on others.

Competent at bidding on fleebay, or crown green bowling?
Edit, should read the post properly. Mrs P is the bowler. Doh

Morning all.

Cycle club committee meeting last night, so headache this morning!

Father in law's 80th this week so we have all the old codgers around for lunch. At least it's pissing down so not missing something more interesting

 

[PaulSB]

Yeah. Rock 'n Roll. Mrs P is now the proud owner of a set of Taylor's Crown Green Bowls!!! Mission accomplished. Mind you I am £39 poorer. They are in Preston so I'm hoping the seller will agree to me collecting from him. Heavy things to post out.

Morning all. A chill day today with not much planned.
Now here's a thing. I got a novel from the library. Its a 'new' book and I am first to read it. Page 3, someone goes to the chippy and buys a bag of chips for 30p**. I thought "hang about" that cant be right......and looked at the fly leaf. Published 1993 .
Anyway, this person finds a deep fried finger in the bag of chips!!!! In comes Detective Slider .
Edit.
** I remember 3 old pence (1p??) For a bag of chips and 6 old p for a fish.
