The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Good morning .
Woke to to devastating news.
In the new issues....Superman is coming out as bi-sexual. What the hell are they doing to our childhood heroes .

In other news I see that Tyson Fury earned £20M from that fight, making him worth over £90M.
I tried boxing at school. Got punched once and decided I didn't like it.

Morning all

Slept like a log last night - always do in the van. Mind you, I always do at home as well.
Off to Droitwich this morning to meet up with MrsDs brother and b-i-l.
Lunch in the Gardener's Arms.

It's a fair comment. I agree that I am not in a race so it shouldn't matter, but I want to do long, hilly rides in a reasonable amount of time. I used to do 200 km audax rides with (say) 3,000 m of ascent in 10 hours. I have given up on them now because I would be in a right state by the finish and would be struggling to finish in daylight!

I feel uncomfortable from about 50 kms if hills are involved. If the route is flat the discomfort would start at more like 50 miles.

The truth is though that I don't know how much is due to wear and tear on my body, and how much is just lack of fitness! I will try harder next year and see what happens!

Its just old father time catching up with you, I think you're about five years younger than me, I'm having similar happening to me, its age related and we all experience it but it varies slightly from person to person.

Good morning folks, I've got to talk to someone about getting a MOT and service done this morning, and I've got some wheelchair repairs to do this afternoon.

Is it an NHS wheelchair or one you bought?
I bought MrsDs......very lightweight but not good on rough ground.

What do you expect from a man in tights who wears a cape, of all things?
I did a bit of boxing at school and at the Boys Brigade club (are they still a thing?) I met Frankie Vaughan there in 1968. He congratulated me on my Southpaw style.

When I joined the Army they said, "oooh, you're a big lad - boxing team!"

I may be a big lad, and I can punch pretty hard, but I have the nervous system and reactions of a stegosaurus and lost every fight.

No its ours, its a cheapy, unfortunately it has a habit of working its wheel nuts loose.

Yesterday another ride in brilliant sunshine, can we still call this late autumn? . When I returned Mrs JK took me into the room we had just finished decorating, she wants another coat of gloss on the skirting boards . I have to agree it does look a bit thin places .

Good morning all, cool and cloudy here.

Morning! Still half dark but the sky looks benign. Very stiff when I woke this morning but that seems to be easing.

Did anyone see the Northern Lights last night? Supposedly visible in my area 9.00 to 11.00pm. I forgot and went to bed.

'Tis Tuesday which means I'm off to collect STP in half an hour. Quick tidy round and I must go

Hope you didn't waste it at your time of life
