The Retirement Thread

[172traindriver]

I heard something last night, but wasn't sure if it was a thunderstorm of if Welshie had farted.

Probably the latter

Just been outside. A very pleasant 21C and not humid after last night's torrential rain.

Scrub that. Now hot and humid. Just had second shower for today.

Can anyone help with this question? A good friend is studying remotely, while working, for a degree. The second year mark has given what's been described to me as a "secure 2:1."

I know what a 2:1 is. Does "secure" mean that is the minimum level that will be awarded at the end of the next and third year?

Google has been defeated by this.

Mach is heaving with traffic. Market day+ holidays = can't move for traffic.

I think it means that's the projection if they continue as-is, and secure means well into the 2:1 (second class, upper tier) rankings rather than languishing 1% from relegation.

But I'm probably wrong.

Glorious morning here at West Bay.

Doggie walks done.

Retired to the White Lion at Broadwindsor for a swift 'alf.

Back to the van now to watch TdF.
Phew! This retirement lark is exhausting!

Watching The Equalizer 2. Ker-pew!

That's is. I have driven 80 plus miles today and I am not going anywhere else.

Grandson passed his theory at least.

"Second-class honours;
Upper division (2:1, 2i or II-1) –typically 60–69%"

Why'd the greenhouse need watering?
