The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

No. How very remiss of you lot. What a rubbish club this is.

You probably joined around the time of the 'Great Vellum Shortage'. Many missed out at that time.
They subsequently put it all online as a downloadable file, but being a load of computer illiterate wrinklies, they messed up the links and now nobody can access them.

Well fancy that. I wonder what they are. Perhaps @Drago will enlighten me.

He's only an apprentice retiree, he's still acquiring the wisdom, where most of us are having difficulty remembering the wisdom, so I wouldn't worry about the rules too much.

 

[Drago]

Yeah.......but getting up THAT early and being active before 8am contravenes rule 3.1a of the Pensioners Charter.

I'm still biologically programmed to awaken at 5am after years of getting up early to save the World. I try to linger in bed, but on weekdays Mrs d's alarm goes off at 0645hrs, so I'm on to a loser most of the time. However, i often counter this with an afternoon nap in front of the telly for an hour or so - I find the programme Nazi Megastructures gives the deepest, most relaxing sleep.

I'm in the same boat until Mrs. jg retires next year. Her alarm goes off at 6 o'clock and now it's almost light at that time it's difficult to get back to sleep. It's beautiful up on the fell at that time of day though so it's no real hardship to get up and take the dog out.

Didn't they issue you with a copy?

Looks like the rules need to be reissued as I don't know either.

I'm the same, after years of getting up early I'm awake between 5 and 6, as I would have been when working, I've just had to develop the habit of going back to sleep, something I'm not good at.

It's an age thing. You no doubt were issued with a copy of the rules and have forgotten all about them.

 

[welsh dragon]

My god. My internet was down for an hour. I thought the world was about to end.

I don't mind her early starts, to be fair. I usually get up, wander through to the front room in my Y fronts clutching teddy, and have a quiet Nespresso. S'just today I felt dynamic and energetic, so went for a run.

We are once again straying into the twilight zone with mention of Dragos Y fronts. . Pass the the bucket and mind bleach someone. Quick.

They're classy attire. No female can resist the lure of baggy orange Y fronts with dark brown trim, chest wig, and a splash of Blue Stratos.

I have just been a bit sick in my mouth.
