The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

It is pretty. straight forward. You pay for the flour, you make the bread, then, the wife walks away with the loaf, and the bread maker (after you have cleaned it), leaving you with nothing

I suspect the NN may not find that particularly funny, given his history...!

Yeah been there, but I'm not the only one

It hurt at the time, but water under the bridge..........

I don't think the roof will survive that approach.

Luckily for us they were in the bramble bushes so it was fine.

Could have been worse, you could have posted it in the Politics section and been accused of god knows what!

That doesn't bear thinking about?

1972 to 1983 I walked the streets as a Postie,In 1983 I went indoors to earn more money,trouble was it meant shift work which ruined my marriage. Anyway I could not believe how many wasters were employed and no matter how much lip you gave them tossers they stayed and nobody did anything to get rid of them.

That like the police, where being an incompetent tosser was a prerequisite for advancement. I think the short term goal was to get them away from the public, but that meant over time they ended up in positions where they could do far more damage.

Yep. Mostly brown-nosers in the prison service too, although not always.

I see Sarah Everard’s killer has got a whole life sentence. I anticipate he will get several beatings/slashings over the next several months unless they keep him in solitary.

Caravan fridge sorted - the old gas flame tube was corroded to beggary. New one installed.
Back home for lunch and a couple of phone calls to book two weeks away in mid October. We're off up to the Malverns and then down to Glastonbury.

Been to the gym. Still raining. Quite a bit warmer than yesterday though, 14.5°.

Have you already applied for it? Some people have been waiting months for the for the first payment to be made.

Now there's a coincidence... the postman just delivered a letter which turned out to be details of my coming pension! One reduced payment to get me started, and then £718.40 every 4 weeks - luxury! (Well, with Housing Benefit and my little private pension of £50 a month - comfortable.)

I am assuming that they WILL pay that on time, given that it is 3 or 4 months away! 🤞
