The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Well, I survived last night.
Plonked myself in a comfy corner with a bottle of Jamesons, whilst BiLs droned on and on relentlessly about casting processes and other such rivetting stuff.
I think I got away with it, managing to smile, laugh, nod, go - uh huh etc at the right moments, whilst slowly becoming comfortably numb.
Taking them up to [Woody Bay station [/B]to look at the puffer trains, and then on to the Station Inn at Blackmore Gate for a spot of lunch.
They're going home tomorrow.

Any 4-6-2's or 0-6-0 Saddle tanks there?

Bloody hell, by the time you have paid your bus fare all the shops will be closed.

We once had a request to make woolly hats with that on them. Did manage one just for a laugh but it was not a commercial proposition since it had to be done by hand as the automated machines could not cope. We declined the main order.

Mrs D's Volvo is clean. Shes an animal - the Kosovans can do it next time!

A great afternoon at the national park who's name is Hurulu. Saw much wild life from the smallest chameleons to these wonderful animals

Was it rotten?

Back from Llanfair......... ( not typing that again) where all we bought was a pair of slippers for Mrs G for £4.50. A stop at Tesco on the way back cost me £30 though but that includes a bottle of Port and 12 cans of cider. Waiting to watch Wales beat England at rugby now.

I got a letter today, my pension credit is going up by a whole pound to nine pound a week, I'm going to have to have a think about what I'm going to spend all that money on.

He's had over 12% if it's gone up a pound to £9.
I don't think even the MPs could get away with that.
