The Retirement Thread

Major incident declared in London due to the amount of Covid cases!

Just read that. We were invited out tonight (Irish club) but have declined.
We have gone into our own lock down ......essential things only.
Apparently Holland has gone into total lock down.

Boris need to make a decision ASAP, but I see riots on the streets if he does,
as they say dammed if you do, dammed if you don't

Agree with that. I am all for it but am an old fart.......not so easy for the younger generation.

I've just been thinking, we haven't seen a lot of Drago lately.

Last seen on Thursday, hope he's OK

He'd a night out with the band recently. Left him feeling knackered.

My pal is here and we have decided to have junk food food tonight. That isn't the same as plain old junk food! It will be junk food (big pizza and fries) but with some healthy food as well (a humungous great ColinJ salad).

Aargh... The takeaway wasn't answering the phone. I tried multiple times but no go. I walked round to order in person and found a notice pinned to the door saying that they were closed from Dec 14th to Jan 18th! It would have been nice if they had connected an answering machine to their phone line to let us know...

Never mind - I could walk to the next one... Nope - they were rushed off their feet. At 18:45 they said that they could have a pizza ready at 21:15!!!!

So, boring old Aldi cheese pizza and some pitta breads are currently heating up in my oven!

I agree but I'm not sure the country would tolerate it. If it is lockdown I feel it would have to be everything except food shops. No excuses to be out then.

My Good Lady has been watching Scrooge from 1951, the film was as old as me, and full of familiar faces, Jack Warner from Dixon Of Dock Green being one.

Decided not to watch that. Thought it might ruin memories of the original.

Wow. That’s going back a bit! I remember Dixon of Dock Green. Was it Andy Crawford was his sidekick?

@ColinJ Aldi usually have some very good pizza.

I have Aldi pizza.......just add some cheese, tomato, onion or whatever to beef it up.
