The Retirement Thread

He's not planning on being there though, does that count?

Not planning, maybe, but it sounds like he was wishing he was there.
That's worth a yellow card.

Is that the sort of day where various systems "break down" and they get to see how you work around them?

That being the case, I'd say it's not to see how you react, but to find any holes in the system they didn't know about.

Yeah, that's the sort of thing. I've suggested that they change it to a Monday after a weekend power down. That way we won't have a clue which are the real outages and which have been contrived by the engineers (and, I suspect, neither will they).

I'd tell 'em to stick it where the sun don't shine.....

In the office this morning but it's more of a social call. By the time I've sickened everyone with pics of my recent rides, had a glance through my inbox and completed my expenses it will be time to scarper to go for another ride.
Seems we're having something called a 'chaos' day next week where a group of engineers will deliberately disrupt our IT infrastructure to see how we react. What japes! Shame I won't be here as I'm partial to a bit of chaos and would have quite enjoyed running around like a headless chicken for a day.

Do you mean they are going to do an upgrade as per TSB?

I think TSB are going for a chaos month, or, even, a chaos year, rather than just a day.

Cool and bright around these parts, I am going to spend the day fixing a small leak on the caravan after my swim of course.

Have a good one everybody.

Crikey mine are only about 6” tall. Is this on last year’s plants overwintered?

A beautiful morning which I sadly have to spend at Manchester dental hospital. After three infections below a crown my dentist felt I might need root canal treatment. Two choices either take out the crown, do the RCT and leave a gap OR have the referral. Apparently the specialist in Manchester can go in through the underside of the jaw, do the RCT and leave the crown in place.

Today is purely to investigate. As I’ve had no infection for six months I’m hoping to be sent away. If the RCT is said to be needed I’m only agreeing to it if some VERY serious drugs are involved!!!!!

These are from a plant I bought from LIDL a couple of months ago for about £4. Purchased as a stop gap until my seedlings grow up. I've got 6 on the go at the moment, the tallest is about 2 feet high. If they crop as well as the LIDL plant, I will be well pleased.

Ditto.

Off out for my morning run about 9, then shower, then may give the Pension Book Special a clean.

Sunny but a tad cool here. Washing is being done. 1 load is already out on the line.
