The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Lifes like a toilet roll, the closer to the end you get the faster it goes.

Even worse when you realise that the spare rolls are still somewhere in the house still wrapped up

Even worse is those toilet rolls in public toilets that are encased in a dispenser and you can’t check how much is left

My life has been nothing like a toilet roll , l would have been very upset if all that happened to me is that l went round and round in ever decreasing circles while busily engaged in wiping someones behind but maybe l have been one of the lucky ones

Im having my ears un bunged a week today Have been treating my ears with Otex to soften the wax.Will have been using it for three weeks come next Friday. Here’s hoping the wax has softened sufficiently

Good luck. Remember to report back to us.

Thai Green Curry for tea from the Gym Kitchen range. I’m never going to learn to cook but try to at least stick to semi healthy ready meals

Doesn’t seem to be many nasty ingredients and lots of chicken.

Ah, I've had experience of dodgy phone cases too.

One of my friends sometimes accidentally blocks the microphone on her phone with a finger.

Having a working hearing aid would definitely help!

I will see how much improvement can be made in my hearing by getting my ears dewaxed. I think I would be able to manage another 2 or 3 years with unblocked ears.

Not done by/at your doctors anymore. You've to go private, specsavers, Boots, at a cost of around £70 per ear.

I've been meaning to mention this for ages and keep forgetting..........

In the village next to us is a road called Dick Lane..........stop sniggering at the back.............some new people moved in.........they changed the name of their cottage to.........

Erection Cottage..........I kid you not 😄😄😄

Everyone at the back snort, laugh, snigger

Happy Christmas @12boy that one's for you. This is Britain!!

I am currently enjoying what, for me, will be the best part of Christmas. Mrs @BoldonLad and daughters 2 & 3 at Church. Daughters 1 & 4 at work. Me, peace and quiet, with a chunk of fruit cake and a bottle of sherry.

It won’t last (the peace and quiet)

They are back. It’s over

Ear syringing still done at the Drs Practice where daughter No1 works. Suspended at moment, because they are frantically doing booster jabs.

Sodium Bicarbonate eardrops available at any pharmacy. Can take up to a couple of weeks in a bad case of ear wax but it does work and much cheaper than any private flushing out. Works for me anyway.

That's not what I said when told the cost.

I went down the eardrops route as well.

My hearing is the one thing that still works well. Telly is usually only set around 8 to 10 unless it’s the occasional programme with poor sound quality.

Talking of which, can’t wait for All Creatures Great and Small at 9
