The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Thanks Mo and apologies for vanishing into the ether for a while I hope youre insomnia phase passes, i get it to and should also resist afternoon naps! Off for a spin this morning over the hills and far away [or as far as the get up and go lasts!]. Garden is coming along and have been enjoying lots of home grown veg, its good to be able to just pop outside for a lettuce/beetroot/parsley/ broadbeans etc. Happy birthday PaulSB im convinced that cyclists years are a good 20 yrs younger,,a friend said to me that i looked like i was getting younger since i started cycling...i wont argue with that!

Yes a lot of us look younger than we are, I was talking to my Good Ladies carer this morning and she was surprised that I was 71 and retired, for some strange reason she thought I was still working.

Your garden is looking very good well done

Thanks numbnuts its still a work in progress but im getting there, i must have shifted a couple of hundred wheelbarrows full of gravel to make the beds...

Morning all

Nice day out there by the looks of it, might get some more gardening done.

I get this all the time; consistently thought to be 10 - 15 years younger than I am. I put it down to good genes and a nonchalant outlook.

Could you imagine footballers carrying on playing if they looked like this! They need carried off if they stub their toe

 

[SpokeyDokey]

The sun is out, the birds wre tweeting a lot this morning.

Are you sure they are not Threading?

 

[Drago]

Aye, that's all the world needs, another social media channel!

I wonder how this cage fight between Musk and Zuckerberg will play out?

The Zuck is pretty weedy, but is supposed to be into Ju Jitsu.

Conversely, Musk is no athlete but is clearly a swivel eyed loon and thus liable to be unpredictable, and he is the offspring of a guy that merrily uses burglars for target practice so is doubtless genetically predisposed to a bit of slapping now and again. Too close to call.

Either way, I've a 4 pack of Guinness and a large bag of cheetos on standby ready for this fight. Aside from the entertainment value, whichever way it goes an utter twit is going go get their teeth kicked in so it's win-win.

I'm not a footballist and their theatrics annoy me, rolling on the ground clutching the imaginary stump of their severed leg, yet 39 seconds later they're runing around like nothing happened. It's nothing more than blatant fraud.

When I'm PM - which must surely be any day now - I'll sort it. Any footballist severely injured enough to be rolling on the ground clutching at body parts gets a 28 day medical suspension from playing and training to allow them to properly recuperate. You can guarantee we'll see a 95% reduction in the BAFTA winning acting at being hurt.

Remember. A vote for Drago is a vote for common sense!

Another place for people to be shouty and ranty. I will pass

 

[Drago]

Yeah, they have no appeal to me either. If I want to be shouted at and be accused of being a [insert as appropriate]ist I'll visit NACA where I don't need to give my personal details to a billionaire to monetise.

 

[welsh dragon]

Houseworky stuff done.

 

[numbnuts]

The sun is trying to come out so I may go out for a walk

I stupidly thought the same and got caught in a torrential downpour. Soaked through so afraid the PJs are on now and I won't be back out.

Do they still use the ‘magic sponge’ at football matches?

 

[Drago]

Lunch done. A quick nap, then colledt Mini D, then get ready for the gig.

Chicken and stuffing on a crusty bap
Has anyone else noticed how everything is getting smaller but costing the same. Fresh baps, half the size but the same price. Do they honestly think no one will notice?
