The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

I was really tired last night......a combination of playing golf in the freezing cold followed by a few whiskies. I was in bed, zonked out before ten. I said........."nothing special on tomorrow so I will sleep till I wake naturally".
So when I opened my eyes to look at the clock it was.........
........
.........
09.42 .
Not done that for many years

Looked at the clock, or opened your eyes?

TOMATOES

More controversy I fear. Tinned tomatoes should NEVER be part of a full English.

To gain 10/10 a Full English breakfast tomato must be halved, cored and grilled to squishily soft. Hard, luke warm tomatoes result in immediate disqualification.

The juices should mingle gently with the beans.

Not in full agreement with this but admire your attention to detail.

Where do you stand on skins? I like to burn them slightly so that they are easy to peel off and discard. My bruv just shoves the whole lot in, skins and all

Tinned tomatoes are the first thing to go onto the hob for a full English. Leave them on a slow simmer to evaporate most of the water and concentrate the flavour while all the other stuff is being prepared. MiL chucks in a teaspoon of sugar.

You tube is great for old videos. Just watched Simon and Garfunkel, Smokie, the Eagles, Status quo.

apologies for bringing the retirement thread and cycling related together :-)

Just popped into JE James in Rotherham to cheer myself up (dislocated knee, and looking after my mum during her chemo), and left very disappointed, when did they decide that it wasnt worth having stuff to sell?
Hardly any winter cycling gear, and the wall full of wheels that I used to look at and drool over was empty.

Felt very much a shop on the way down.

Full of good intentions and things to do when I got up this morning. What happened up to now ? ..………………….. absolutely nothing. Only thing I did was to take the dog for a walk and then it started snowing so have a lazy day instead. There is always tomorrow or the day after. I can't work if I am not in the mood for it .

No. It has stopped now and nothing on the ground so I should think you are safe to come over.
