The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

It's always such a rush at weekends, trying to get everything done so as to leave the week free for doing pensioner stuff.

I would like to see the government ban weekends totally.
There would be lots of immediate benefits.
1. It would save you and others having
to rush on those 2 days.
2. I would not get so confused.
3. The extra money generated could go
towards topping up our pensions
4. Bit of a stretch this one but maybe
they could make 8 day weeks so we
had even more time to do our things
I am sure there must be lots more benefits

Too big.

Too big.

Ahh same as me in the pub yesterday. Seniors special of breaded mushrooms followed by a FULL English for £4.49.
I was absolutely stuffed. Just managed to fit my pint of Doombar in

New York about seven years ago, breakfast in the Delicatesian down the road from our hotel, the plate on the empty table is my Good Ladies next course.

No its our eldest son.

He's like I was at his age, can barely grow a full set of bum fluff

Meant to say, had an argument with a prat while I was walking Muttley.

Some idiot window cleaner had parked his van 4 wheels up on the path, forcing me to walk in the road. I said to him "That's a footpath, not a car park..." and punctuated it with "...idiot." I instant,y wished I hadn't, as I don't like using needless insults. Even less, I don't like outright confrontation, but Hell, it's done now.

He said "Sorry, but no need to get personal. I'm not an idiot." I responded "Why do you behave like one then?" He then muttered something under his breath which made me stand fully straight and spread my lats, at which point he clearly realised that he'd be bringing a water pistol to a gun fight if it went that way, and scurried off.

I spent the rest of the walk annoyed with myself, but double annoyed at the prat who's idiotic behaviour had brought the situation about in the first place. The sooner Mini D finishes primary school and I can move home to Shetland, the sooner I can get away from prats.

Ok, Mrs D has gone out. I've a low mileage but very filthy D.I.D motorbike chain I've been soaking in white spirit, but it's now going in the dishwasher

Pull an old handset out and tap on it. When he asks what you're doing reply you're checking if the vehicle should even be on the road. Helps if you know about another, nearby vehicle beforehand.

Really annoys me when people do that at eg school times and you get a man/woman with school child and maybe a pram having to walk in the road.
Many years ago it happened to me. It was a car. I had to walk in the road. Saddly the pram made a scratch all along the car

Why would the pram have to walk?
