The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Thats the dog walked and then washed down, and I have been down to the shed and given a couple of my bikes a clean up. Cleaned the chains, cassettes and given the wheels a clean and polish so that they have a bit of a sparkle to them, for a short while anyway.

@Dirk I'm glad for you that your friend has returned. It must be a great comfort. PLEASE no pictures. I'm a sensitive soul and any "Sids" who appear in this house get the glass and envelope treatment.............after some Dutch courage.

 

[PaulSB]

Well you start a thread asking for opinions and then start heading towards being the devil incarnate........

I'm going to lube my chain and then prop up the woodshed.........it's blowing a gale here

I agree with that.
Put an envelope over it and smack it flat with a big chunky glass

We are going down to Bideford again tomorrow and back on Sunday. It is a long way to go for an 18th birthday!!
We will take my wife's car for a change, only to Tean though ( near Stoke on Trent) as we share a car after that, not mine pleased to say. No more long distance driving for a while after.

Left the hospital after my Good Ladies appointment straight into the middle of the school run. reminded me why I try not to drive or cycle at peak times, it was like a rugby ruck.

Peace and harmony reign. The shed is propped. Now I reckon this is at most a 10 degree list, probably only 5 considering the roof slopes front to back. It was already solid, I hope banging nails in has not damaged it's structural integrity!

I feel 45 degrees is an exaggeration?

If you mean towards the left, it might look straight. Sorted.

Sorry pal. Would love to support a fellow male but I think MrspaulSB should have a brand new shed.
It should be bigger, it should be insulated and have piped music. It should be stacked with womens magazines. It should have a fridge stocked with all the things she enjoys.
Not trying to cause trouble of course.....just sayin like
