The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Just over 3000 for me. I couldn't do without my car. The bus service is dire to say the least and non existent on Sundays. Also the last bus leaves town at 5 pm.

Even if the buses were better, I have to to a quarter of a mile uphill, so carrying a weeks shopping home would be impossible.

Before the festivities begin I hope you all have a good evening whichever way you have chosen to celebrate.

I really enjoy the company in here.

May 2020 bring you your wishes. Happy New Year and Hogmanay to one and all. 🍾🥂

Same to you. Not sure whether I’ll bother waiting up or not. Will see how I feel later.

Bus service here in rural Poshshire is a joke. Couldn't live without my bike.

Well, booked my flight to Lerwick for next week. Going from Manchester. I'm going to take the Mad Max and leave it with an old squaddie mate in Oldham, and he'll run me to the airport. It would be cheaper to drive or ride up miles in the wrong direction and go from Heathrow, but by the time I've factored in the cost of parking it works out more expensive.

Yes, spot on!

That's why we do most of our 'big' shopping at LIDL or ALDI.
It's not a case of saving a few pence here or there - but saving approx 30% on the whole shebang compared to Tesco.

And, quite frankly, a lot of the Aldi stuff is a lot blummen nicer than Tesco.

Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh

Our lager,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink.
Thy will be drunk,
I will be drunk,
At home as it is in the tavern.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us.
And lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers.
For thine is the beer,
The bitter,
The lager.

Amen​
