The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

Been out for a run. Some chump walking his spaniel not on the lead. It attacked mine, so I kicked it. The bloke then moaned about me kicking it, so I said I'd kicked it again if it approached me or my dog and looked like it was going to attack one of us, and he should keep his mutt under control. So he said he'd call the police, so I said fine, I'll wait here. Then he mumbled something and walked off, dog still not on a lead or under control. An end of the campanology variety.

I wish I was hard

I wasnt hard, just ruddy angry. Being big means I don't usually need to pretend to be hard, fortunately.

It is gorgeous. Just back from a 15 mile bimble. Relaxing with a kit kat and a up of coffee.

I did 21 miles on my trike today feeling a little tired I though of a little sleep, no such luck the bloody gardeners turned up to do the lawns

A lovely 55 miles in the sun, my usual Thursday loop to Hatton Locks, first time in shorts this year and my fastest ride for several years, 15mph average, I'm knackered now but I've had a grin on my face most of the time I've been out.

Doing our 25 mile to the pub a bit later, let it cool down a bit as it's a tad warm at the moment. Meeting some other cyclist's in the pub, should be a good night. from the pub it's a three minute roll down the hill to home.

Its hotter than my ex wife's chili flavoured ice cream.

Does anyone have any idea if sky broadband, or now broadband is any good? They both have an offer at the moment. £20 per month, unlimited broadband line rental as well. I am paying £56 a month to BT at the moment, and that isn't for fibre. We can't get fibre broadband here at the moment. Any help would be appreciated.

So some of you may have gathered I spent my career originally growing and then for 35 years selling ornamental plants in to garden centres. The last 22 years our product was bedding plants. Our target demographic was middle-aged, middle income, primarily female (sorry @welsh dragon) and retired people, the “grey market.”

Today I went to our local garden centre. Standing in the queue for the till point it was a strange feeling to realise I have become the demographic I spent 40+ years selling to!!
