The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I'm not sure where I read it but the Captain of one of the rescue/repatriation flights had a dry sense of humour.
In his welcome aboard message he stated that he was working from home 😁

Yes, I read that. Gave me a good laugh.

Going to show my ignorance.
I have youtube on the tv (but never really use it).......can I use that to get films?
If so, how?

 

[Drago]

Yes, you can register on Pooptube and buy fillums.

I've a keen interest in Science and technology, and my working life involved repairing electric motors, generators and pumps of every type so I follow the development of Hybrid/electric vehicles.

There was a discussion up thread between @Drago and others, this article about Volvo has just Been posted on one of my favourite Web sites Ars Technica :

That includes taking his long johns off AND putting them back on afterwards.

What about his socks?

 

[welsh dragon]

No. I asked him to nip round and do my lawns.
On a side note.......there are lots of police cars and vans patrolling the streets.

Same here apparently.

 

[welsh dragon]

What about his socks?

He never takes them off.

With your interest in pumps.......did you ever come across a Liverpool company called Leo Pumps ?
A vague question but my uncle started and ran that till he died.

I presume so.
Go on YouTube and do a search.
I watch over the internet on my desktop.

I never pay for films.

Spent this morning preparing the walls for papering, I'm also sorting out a section of skirting board that been hanging onto the wall by its finger tips.

Sounds like a sex act involving Leo Sayer!

Just googled it and it appears Drago is correct in that you have to sign up then pay per film.

Not when I'm drinking tea please.........

 

[PaulSB]

........or is it tossers?

Hope you've all done your Joe Wicks workout this morning

I didn't know Joe Wicks had joined us?

 

[PaulSB]

Well I've enjoyed creating some short routes to ride while we are locked down. Most have been good but today's did little more than meet its' objective of climbing. I'll have to rethink this.

Anyway 36 miles, 3050 feet 13.6avg. Got some PBs to my surprise as I didn't feel I'd pushed on at all.
