The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Morning all...Talking about bad weather, yesterday we binge watched 'The Crown'. Ironically in one of the episodes it was 7th December 1952 when the smog started, and yesterday the 7th we had a foggy day here in London. I vaguely remember the smog being a 4 year old.

That mean it was 74 yesterday?

I better get my maths right, make that a 3 year old!

Morning.Cold and and misty.Can’t work up any enthusiasm for a ride of late not even my short eighteen miler
Will give the lawn mower a clean before it’s winter hibernation
Stay safe folks 🙁🙁🙁

Can't be bothered to watch that rubbish. Half truths, no truths, speculation and then there is total tosh.

A late good morning. Nothing much of interest to post earlier so didn’t bother! Usual early run which was slow and slightly sore as 8 days in a row now.

Spa cycles have a 48cm frame in now, but are short of 105 components until January but will give me Ultegra for an extra £100. No brainer.

36 years ago today was a Saturday and at 14:00 I said “I do”.....I think I'm the only one who remembers

I was about to type "Congratulations", then.... I remembered your earlier posts on this subject, perhaps, "Sorry to hear that" is more appropriate?

Tyres sorted, LIDL shopping done, doggie walk done, back home for a cuppa.

Sounds like the BBC news.....

What hypocrites. I see that Kay Burley from Sky news, the one that has hounded people in the public eye for breaking Covid rules has herself broken the rules. Nothing like being self righteous, and high handed is there. Maybe she shouldn't have been so twattish and unpleasant to others, just goes to show that what goes around comes around as they say.

An interesting question might be "who HAS NOT broken the Covid Rules?". I long since grew tired of the Covid Stasi.

Exactly. We have all done it, so to berate someone else for the same thing and being smug and superior is out of line completely

Started to worry about you as you are usually reporting in before I get up.

As far as I know I have not broken any of the rules unlike the hordes who appeared here to infest us and will no doubt do again over the next few weeks.

I rather liked her style. I didn't think she was unpleasant just gave the ones who deserved it a hard time.

I should add that I do not have sky and rarely watch television anyway. I have seen plenty of clips of her in action on social media which probably slants my opinions.
