The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Nipped into Barnstaple. Filled car up with diesel - no queues at any of the petrol stations I passed and prices don't seen to have been hiked.
Spent 30 minutes in Curry's looking for a new laptop for MrsD. Found one she liked, good spec and price. Assistant came over and asked if we needed help. MrsD - "I want to buy one of these"
"Sorry, they're out of stock and we can't get them anymore."

Well......why not put a sticker on it to say so, or remove it from display?!

Those Welsh electrons must be working faster than our English ones, by App still says "no results available yet"

Wish they'd hurry up then!

At most we're 60 minutes drive from Lytham where ERNIE lives. I reckon if we haven't had the "visit" by 11.00 that's another month to wait before I'm a millionaire!

I went Into the website itself not the ap.

@ebikeerwidnes which ebike thread is this? Just interested to have a read and see other opinions. I'm 100% in favour.

Back from the flu jab, straight in and out with no queuing. Added bonus was a big box of individually wrapped chocolates by the exit to which we were invited to help ourselves ( I only took one 😇 )
Jab was painless, cue remarks about Mrs Tenkaykev and little pricks…

A great curry result.
Nipped in the Co-op for some milk and they had an offer on.
2 large curries
2 naan bread
Rice
AND
4 bottles of Cobra lager
SEVEN QUID.
A result imo

Yup - sounds like BOGOF day for arguments on ebike speed threads

I will refrain from reading any more of his posts. He is either a troll or an idiot, or possibly both!

I got quite chilled so snuggled under the duvet with the cat for an hour. Just had soup and a slice of bread for lunch. Heavy rain due very soon, but next door is doing DIY and his favourite tool appears to be a hammer so I might have to brave the rain to find some peace and quiet.

You found seven quid!
A fiver and a two pound coin by any chance, both with the queens bust on them.

Well, I am becoming increasingly convinced that 'Big Brother is watching us'... More accurately, 'Big Google is watching us'!

I used to like watching M*A*S*H 30-40 years ago. I must have watched all the series a few times over but I haven't watched it for years. Anyway, for once, last night I did a bit of channel hopping on the TV. I normally plan my viewing in advance, record what I want to watch, and do that later in the middle of the night. Last night though, I happened to stumble on one of the channels that I don't normally even check. M*A*S*H was on. I watched a few minutes of it but then realised it was from a later series by which time many of my favourite characters had left the show. I stopped watching.

I've just been on YouTube on my laptop. As usual, YT recommends videos that it thinks you would like to watch... 'Why character #1 left M*A*S*H', 'Why character #2 left M*A*S*H', 'Why character #3 left M*A*S*H'... WTF!!!!!!!!!
