The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

I am #25 in queue for the British Gas online chat to sort out my meter readings. It was 00242 on 04/11/2021 and today is 00466. My account though shows 08671 - that's an awful lot of gas in a month!!

She is depressing. Sorry but its all the same blah blah blah. Tickets for her concert cost an arm and a leg. I am not a fan.

Stuffing your face with fish and chips, swearing a lot and pretending she can't aford to live in the UK being the reason she has moved to LA don't wash with me.

I'll keep remembering to click on Love or Dislike as things play and it gets better and better at playing stuff you like.

Well we shall see. The lovely Joyce says she has updated my account but the numbers I can see haven't changed yet. I hope she has done it but past experience with British Gas suggests these things don't always happen.

JLAB - they were £20.
Battery life seems quite good and they have touch volume control.

That is a non-cheeky price for a Christmas present. I will also take a look at the others but might have to make a contribution to the cost of my own pressie if I go for something too expensive.

I got put on hold trying to talk to an advisor at the council yesterday. I put the phone on speaker and got back to working on my laptop. I was queued for 40 minutes and the muzak that they played sent me to sleep. I woke with a start when a young woman apparently sneaked into my room... "Hello, hello - is there anybody there?" She almost gave up on me!

Give it time

Oh God the football thread will be next just when I was getting used to the idea of posting there from time to time. It is so easy to spot a real football fan. Without meaning to embarrass @Dave7 he knew Harvey Elliot was on loan at Ewood last season and took interest in his progress. Same with Leighton Clarkson this season. Now there is a proper football fan.

An enjoyable couple of hours on the bike this morning, quite chilly but that’s what winter is for
The River Almond.

Mrs Tenkaykev and I wandered over the Heath to collect holly. A lovely crisp and sunny winters day. Not many pine cones this year and no Mistletoe in sight so it looks like I'll be missing out on a snog later.😁
Stopped for a chat with one of the chaps who lives up the road. He makes things out of odd bits of wood, old pallets etc. He also keeps a Panther...
