The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I haven't switched on my non-smart mobile phone since about March. My car has its own phone built in so I don't even bother carrying it when I got out.

People clutching their phones reminds me of smokers clutching their packet of fags and lighter back in the day, both equally addictive and socially unpleasant.

Good morning folks.

We did Slade's Merry Christmas Everybody last night ready for our next gig on 11th December. Its a proper song, great fun to play, and of the 5 of us I can do the best Noddy Holder impersonation so I get to shout "It's Christmas!" at the end.

Useless fact - did you know that Noddy Holder earns £150,000 a year in royalties grom that song alone? He didn't write a song - he wrote a pension,

Morning all

The Eagle landed in Dorset yesterday afternoon.
Nice little secluded CL pitch not far from Beaminster.


Woken up this morning by a flock of noisy pheasants!
Off out to see Abbotsbury castle this morning.
Forecast for the week still looking good.

 

[Drago]

Pheasants? I'll get me shotgun.

One of their offices is just 500 yards away from me. Seem busy enough. I have heard mixed reviews so be interested to see what you think.
