The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Ive just upset thenyoung lad across the road.

His clutch has gone, so he's out in the dark trying to replace it. I ask him what the symptoms are, "clutch sticking and slipping, losing drive." "Ah", says I, "that'll be a faulty master cylinder them." I nodded sagely, and walked away whistling a cheery tune as he lay sobbing on the ground.

Hard swim this morning, why do I do it? in the garage up until 3pm teaching then a beefeater came round to have a dent fixed on his Fiat, I really enjoy meeting people who work outside of my industry.

I think Alan is just playing for sympathy! And why not...

Its been very quiet around here (and has been for a few years now) - we used to get fireworks going off every night for a week before Nov 5 and even a few days after. This year there were a few bangs last night and nothing so far tonight. I think organised displays have taken over these days.

The Guinness at the fireworks in the nest village wear lovely. I war worried a firework might hit me and I might catch fire so kept media moist with 7 points of the Irish coca cola.

Morning troops. A very warm and calm day here.

Mild, damp and dull here, like a Labour Party conference but without Diane Abbot putting her foot in her mouth.
