The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

A

Yup - fed up of the damn Celtics so we're taking over


Oh - sorry - we did that a few hundred years ago


anyway - sounds like an Osprey - US Marines vertical take off type thingy
very expensive

but anyway - lock up your daughters - especially if they suddenly want to go for a walk when you live near an airbase
(not that my Mum ever did anything like that during the war - no no not at all - never - and nor did her friend
clearly)

As an addendum - and hoping she is not watching from the afterlife

One day they they were late back from their walk
I should mention that they were young and not full grown women - but still secondary school age - however my grandfather was the local Bobby and NOT to be messed with
Anyway they were late so had to take a shortcut back home

OK - teenagers - not a problem
OK it involved a high fence but whatever
my Mum got over just fine
but Betty was just climbing over and she jumped down
but her knickers got caught on the fence and she was stuck hanging above the ground but her knickers
Clearly my Mum was available to go and help out


at least she was once she had stopped literally wetting herself laughing
for - apparently - quite some time


they made proper knckers in those days

So what are you telling us here? Big cat? or Small bed?

Small bed.

 

[PaulSB]

Small bed.

Well that's simpler to remedy than a big cat! 🤣

I must go as the granddaughter has been asleep for three hours, with luck she'll do another three or four. 🤞

Morning. Brrrr, it’s only minus 1 so my notion of an early bimble is again in doubt.

Good morning folks -3 here at the moment. I’ll wait a while before deciding what to do with regard to exercise. Meanwhile coffee is brewing ☕️
Have a peaceful day folks 🌞👍

Good day, more harmless looking weather. Granddaughter slept from 7.45pm to 5.45am which I know is very good but unusually I wasn't ready to wake at that time. So cuddle and a drink and she's sparko again, I meanwhile am thinking about a midday nap. 🤣

No plans just a question of what the small one needs.

Did the various urdles successfully but struggled with each.......clearly my brain is addled this morning.

Good morning people, another bright, cold and frosty one,our family gathering is going to be a bit thin this morning, the youngest and the grand kids won't be here, I've got to pot on my sweet peas, I've been leaving them in the seed tray whilst this cold snap goes over but they're about five inches tall and I can't leave them much longer.

Morning. -4 here. I was thinking of putting away the winter bloomers, but have hastily changed my mind.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all fellow retirees.
Nice and frosty outside.
Sainsbury's and delivering later on, first time for 3 weeks. It is quite a big order this time.
Some spring cleaning today, we have noticed the skylight in the kitchen is rather filthy, so it needs a scrub.
Cycling on the telly this afternoon, Ronde de Vlanderen.
Plenty to keep me occupied today.

From my facebook page this morning.

After an airline pilot finishes talking to the passengers after the plane has taken off he forgets to turn off the intercom.
Speaking to the copilot he says,
"Do you know what I fancy doing?"
The co-pilot responds
"No - what do you fancy doing then?"
The pilot says,
"Well first of all I think I'll go take a dump"
"Then when I get back I think that I will make a move on that new blonde stewardess."
In the main cabin the stewardess hears this - as do the rest of the passengers - and runs up the aisle to tell him that the intercom is still on.
Unfortunately in her haste to get to him before he says anything else that's embarrassing she trips and falls in the aisle.
A little old lady passenger who's seated nearby looks down at her and says,
"There's no need to rush dear"

Of course what I was forgetting is if one's urdles are going badly it's the perfect day to AntiWordle which is all about getting it WRONG!!
