The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Stick your bike in the boot and come here for the weekend.
By the sound of it they will not notice you are missing

If only.

My youngest grandsons are in Coventry today. They are twins. One has an interview at Jaguar Land Rover for an apprenticeship as a mechanical engineer. His brother drove him there as he only has a motorbike and has a prob license so can't go on Motorways. They are both only 17. Kids today have so much confidence

Two of the guys are up for a 10.30 start. Today is March 2nd. yesterday was the start of my resolution to take the long way round to the meet point. I better get a shift on.

Just purchased Hive Heating - more tech!

Your parents/grandparents must have said the same about you.
I passed my test in 1964 aged 17. My Dad didn't learn to drive till a long time later.
BTW I hope his interview goes well.

How heavy is it it looks like it has cracked (get it) the plate.

@Paulus are you growing under glass? If we get warm weather you may well get an earlier crop. I usually buy tomato plants late April/mid-May which will continue cropping till mid-November even early December in a mild autumn/winter.

I'll be interested to hear how your later, second sowing goes.

Yes I will be growing the early crop under glass, and the later crop outside

How long did it take to boil the egg?

I should be near a cafe. The cycling gods are very cross with me.

First ride on this bike since it was rebuilt. Got bike out. Walked 10 feet. Foot on left pedal. Swing right leg over. Bang. I'm on the ground. The bars have turned 90 degrees but the wheel is pointing forwards.

I guessed the headset wasn't properly tightened. Down to LBS. Yep, not tightened correctly.

Profuse apologies followed.
