The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning folks,
Arrived in Leeds yesterday evening after a couple of days in Newcastle. Heading to the Library soon and then perhaps a pub or several 🍻
Interesting to see lots of electric scooters in Newcastle, all with helmets attached. I expect the weekend Hen and Stag parties make good use of them.

From my Facebook page page this morning, the oldies are the best.

All this talk of ear wax I'm trying to have a quick brew.

Why not see the practice nurse at your GP Surgery? Ours will perform this rather unpleasant task.

I thought that the NHS had pretty much given up on it. Like dentistry?

Oh, I just checked... they might still do it at Todmorden Health Centre. I am heading down there for my blood test soon. I will ask at reception while I am there.

Never been, but found this

Enquired at the local one and was told £75, if they provided the service there. Tod being the nearest.
Seems like the staff need to check their prices.

Did I mention that my mother was an ENT specialist............

Beaten up Cod, yes I know it's not Friday
I've just done my brakes.....again, not been right since I put the new pads in, yesterday they were more like “wishful thinking” and with a trailer load of food it was not funny, but they seem better now.

I have just had "grandma Louie's scouse".
Our son runs the restaurant and has fond memories of his grandmas stew.....so he has put it on the menu.
Very nice it was.

The practice nurse did mine a few weeks ago.

Had a short ride this morning.While I was tootling along I got to thinking why do sporting events like track cycling ,running any sport that uses a circuit go in an anti clockwise direction.What would happen if the organisers said today’s events are going to be run clock wise..

Just going to plant some anti anti sod it Snap dragons while the you put your minds to coming up with an answer
Now where did I put my trowel.

Speedway runs anti clockwise.
Sidecar speedway runs clockwise.
Same with Grass Track racing.
