The Retirement Thread

That's their mistake, not the customers.

Pretty much what I said.

How often did the board rubber make contact.

Never....my reactions were too good.

Never....my reactions were too good.

Our Woodwork master never aimed at a pupil, but he was expert at bouncing the blackboard rubber off the bench just in front of the pupil, a far more effective way of frightening the crap out of people.

When awake?

Sounds like my metalwork teacher. No matter what he threw, you knew if he'd aimed it at you or not. He could get the person two foot behind you.

Listening to Black Sabbath now.
The first album from 1970.

Morning. Crap sleep so I will try to snooze shortly. Alarm set for 7.30 as I have to leave to collect small person by 8.00. It's rained heavily all night hence the crap sleep........perhaps I should try sleeping indoors.

The bathroom skirting will be painted while small person goes swimming with Nana.

No extra sprinkles for this house in August. Shame as a few £££ would be handy.

@Dave7 I see we've borrowed another of your lads. Tyler Morton who seems to be highly thought of at Anfield.

Any info?

I think he lost in 4, but you could be meaning someone else. I do get mixed up sometimes! Was he the guy playing the very good Indian chap in the quarter finals?

No, he was against an English opponent. Can’t remember his name. There was another Scot playing too though.

Morning. A wet night and overcast and breezy this morning with more showers forecast. Still feeling muggy though.

My excitement of the day is my first dental check up in nearly 3 years at 11am.

I have seen him in action a few times but most were cameo.
I've read good reports though.

Speaking of whisky I thought I'd get a bottle in Aldi. They do some decent single malts for the price. £16.99. Went to the specials shelf and sure enough four different malts at £16.99. One was labelled 18 year old so I grabbed the empty box, at the till the cashier trundled off got the bottle, showed me it and asked "the eighteen year old, you want it?"

My bill came up at £63! In ALDI!!!!!! Checked my receipt and the whisky was £39.99. Went back to the shelf and sure enough it said £16.99. I asked for a refund, the cashier said lots of people are making the same mistake!

End result is I have no whisky for tonight.

Yep, it's exactly the same in ours. It happened once to me so I got a refund.
TBF the others that ARE £16.99 are quite good.
One of them is too peaty for me but thats just personal taste.

Morning all.
That were a soggy night......constant heavy rain and its still pouring down.
I am tring to get myself psyched up for an 0800 Aldi dash.

Stay safe peeps.
