The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

A good morning is wished to all old fogies.
Not actually raining here but the sky looks very threatening.
The drains saga continues. UUs are sending "engineers" this afternoon to at least find the cause of the problem.
The guy said......"I realise this is the 3rd day".
I said "no, this is the 5th day".
I tried to use that word Classic told me to but I couldn't say it

 

[Dave7]

Any action yet?

I think you all misunderstood. I was on the corner with all the banners ready for our march.....but nobody turned up.
I think Mo would have marched if it wasn't for her (supposed) bunion.

Morning all. It was so dark here when I got up to make the tea's at 7o/c, I had to check that the clocks were still working. Might nip up the west end and get the last bit of shopping and do a bit of photography.

That's the problem with being semi retired.

Managed an hour on the bike before the rains came down in earnest, then across Sheffield to help my buddy with his new 'puter. Called in at the local practice on the way home and made an appointment with the nurse to get my ears sorted ... again. Will be relieved when that's resolved once more. I SAID 'WILL BE RELIEVED WHEN THAT'S SORTED ONCE MORE!'

@Dave7, Northern are saying the train, through Warrington United Utilities home town, is delayed. They're not saying how long for though.

It's irritating isn't it.

Little known, and off disputed fact, but you never actually hear yourself speak. Which is why so many folk have trouble recognising their own voice on a recording.

we are sh1t free.....i repeat WE ARE SH1T FREE
All drains from ours out to the main sewer are clear. They are now cutting the tree roots out using high pressure water jets. Then they will send down a flexible rubber hose, coated in resin. They inflate the hose and it then hardens.....job done.
