The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Good afternoon folks. I’d have been here sooner but I nipped out for a run while Mrs Tenkay popped to the shops. Than I had to read through all the messages to see what scandal I might have missed.
I saw Josef Locke mentioned earlier. I watched a film many years ago called “Hear my Song” which was a comedy loosely based on his life. A very good film which I’d recommend as one to make you smile and lift your spirits.

You can watch it again if you want...........

You are all so wrong.
Sam Kydd was the lead singer of the 60s group Sam Kydd and The Pirates.

Yes. Not a very exciting game by the sound of it.

Is it April the 1st already?
Surely Johnny was the lead singer, Sam might of been a family relation though.
Different spelling .

Did an hour out on the bike today, 15 miles and a strongish headwind on the way home.
I can't be bothered to cook tonight, so have ordered pizzas from a local independent restaurant.

Oops, I’ve just bought another bike

Had a hankering for a comfortable titanium frame and this seemed like a good price. Happy with rim brakes as I find it easier to source and fit wheels and find the brake pads less faff than discs.

Best of luck Mo with your new machine, looks a beauty !! Titanium look is a thing of beauty

Just been past the castle where Ant and Dec are filming. I was stuck behind a bus and no traffic was moving, I looked out of my window and there was a leg with a feet attached to it in the middle of the road. On closer inspection, it appeared to be a prop one but it looked real from a distance. I left it where it was, turned the car around and drove home.

I have just had a Chicago Town pizza. About all my appetite will allow at the moment but at 50p I am happy with it.

A good band., their only hit was Louis Louis. It also featured in the film National Lampoons Animal House which is very funny.
