The Retirement Thread

I thought about filling her frame with lead shot - but I think I've already been cautioned that it might just make her stronger.

Put a parachute under her saddle that will deploy when she reaches 15 mph.

I blame myself for that temp

Funny thing is as much as I try, I just can't seem to manage to stop her disc brakes from rubbing - evil grin - (bloody emojis won't work)

Is the text box in which you type orange instead of white?

If so you may have accidentally clicked on the settings cog, bottom row, far right of the text editor bar above the reply text box. This switches off emojis.

Worth toggling it a couple of times to see if it makes a difference.

We have 3 WCs and its still not enough

With one, they've less time to muck it up. And if it's not enough, they'll make sure that natures call is answered away from the property.

Yes thanks Paul. That seems to make the menu appear and disappear. I'll guess that's what is intended?

The default was always with the emoji bar visible, now the default is hidden and I have to toggle it on to view each time I try to use it.

The emojis sometimes now work if I start a post, but not if I make a reply. I can't add them in later as an edit either. I've tried clearing history, logging out and back in, rebooting computer etc, but always the same. This started just a couple of days or so ago.

For this post, the menu has been off, I've switched it on, clicked an emoji or two, but nothing. Odd.

Sounds like you need a new bike 🚴‍♀️😉

haha ... trouble is that most of the new ones are heavier than the one I have (Trek Emonda series 11). Fifty years ago I had a Bob Jackson frame with a mostly campag build. It was lighter than most bikes available now despite the heavy Brooks Team Professional saddle I put on it. It felt faster too. I reckon I'd have to spend upwards of £10k to buy anything as light and fast today, or to recreate it. I was soooooooo very stoopid to sell it.

Going to have some prunes shortly. I thought a whole banana plus prunes would over face me.

Just some spare arms and legs would help.
