The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

It just struck me... Why could she have rung the mobile herself from her landline!

I am frightened to ask but.....what sort of age is she ?

My daughter, SIL and granddaughter are in Aberystwyth tonight to watch jasper carrot.

He still going then? I used to enjoy watching him on tv.
Edit
I sent this before catching up with other posts......feel free to ignore it

Morning all.
Very bright but frosty this morning.
A CC/my phone question.... ....
For some reason my phone has started giving me loud alerts whenever a post gets a "like" or reply.
Have I pressed something I shouldn't ?
How do I stop it.....it is bl**dy annoying

Morning. A long lie for me. Wasn’t really sleeping but it was cosy. Wordle done in 3.

It appears to have stopped raining at last.
We've never been on a site that was so waterlogged before!
The sun's out and it's blimmin' cold, but at least it's dry.
The forecast says it'll stay like this for a good few days now, which is just as well as there is no way I would be able to shift the van off this site until it dries out. We are moving on to Rutland Water on Monday, so it's got a chance of being dry by then - otherwise it will be a phone call to the farmer for the use of his tractor.

I went to the same school as Bob Davies (Jasper Carrott)

We cracked up to "The Nutter on the Bus", though he would probably get 'cancelled' if he tried performing that these days?!

That bus was the same one I used to get to go to school. Carrotts observations were quite accurate.
In my teens, I used to go to the Boggery Folk Club in Solihull - part owned by Jasper and he used to do a regular turn.
Later on, when I was a telephone engineer, I had a job to move a phone in a flat in Acocks Green. Knocked on the door and Jasper Carrott opened it wearing his dressing gown. I hadn't registered the name on the AN - Mr Robert Davies.

Morning all... My only Jasper Carrot story is when we were on holiday in Menorca he owned a villa near where we were staying, never saw him though.

Wordle in 4, too many options.

Wordle in 4.....
Welshie.......I googled that 'problem' with the tablet having a different word to the phone. Apparently it happens a lot when someone eg decides the word is too difficult/easy so just changes it. Sounds crazy to me.

That's it, The Boggery. I was struggling to remember. We also used to go to a place in Evesham, Worcester and another out towards Stratford I think.................it's far too long ago now. Geez 1973 where did that go????

Well I've done all my stuff, just having breakfast here I come. I will report back. If I have a mechanical I'll throw it in the canal.

Superb effort in Tesco's this morning, £45 of shopping for £8, the local council are running a voucher scheme and we were entitled to a £36 off our shopping through it. Also in Tesco this morning i saw a couple of the check out ladies helping an old fella who was struggling, they helped him though the checkout and back to his mobility scooter.

The folk club out Stratford way was at Wootton Wawen - The Navigation Inn if I remember correctly.
Do you remember a performer called Mike Absolom?

Go to your account page, go to Alerts. I think you can deal with it there.
