The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Just got a letter from the NHS to say I have to play with my “do dos” in two weeks time

Give us a clue what your "do dos" is. I have a camera up/down** my "johnson" every 6 months (just gone to every 12 months now). Its not something I look forward to but it not painful, more uncomfortable.
**as I am on my back when they do it then technically its 'down'

A question for the wise old heads on this forum.
We managed to get to the Liverpool museum. Sadly, so did at least a million 7 year old school kids. Each one of the little sh*ts could scream and shout at a minum of 250 decibels.......how do they manage to do that??

Possibly a side effect of reflections from all the hard surfaces.

You get several groups of people chatting at the same time and their voices get reflected off the various hard surfaces.
The echoes arrive back at our ears with slight delays making it more difficult to follow the conversation.
People raise their voices so they can be heard above the hubbub.
Rinse and repeat until you can't hear yourself think.
(and the youngsters haven't yet learned the social niceties of conversation and are more apt to get over excited)

That's why I only attend Tapestry exhibitions 😉

"A child has short vocal cords, they produce short air waves and consequently a high pitched voice. As a child grows, the vocal cords become longer causing the voice to become deeper."

@Tenkaykev @classic33 . I am sorry but you have let me down. I did not want facts, I want SYMPATHY!!!!!!!.
I got back home with such a headache that I had to pour myself a large whisky.

Not the best idea though!
Alcohol sensitises the hearing, making everything seem louder than usual.

Perhaps that's why I like motorhead.

Crikey 7.10 and no one here. Good morning all. It's dawning a beautiful day here, clear blue sky, not a breath of wind. Frost last night but it's +2C now.

Shortly I will commence ironing. Then it's a quick trip to the LBS for a cleat screw followed by logging and splitting for winter 2021.

Good morning. Chuffing cold here at the moment

In other news. Our next door neighbour has had a bad cough which developed in to a chest infection. My wife is concerned she may have pneumonia now. Our neighbour was ill before we went to Vietnam.

Yesterday she was refused a GP appointment on the basis she had contact with us. We returned 22 days ago, well beyond the isolation period. Surely we should have been told to self-isolate especially if simple contact is going to refuse others medical treatment?

Crackers.

I have risen!

Muttley walked, got to walk Mini D to school in a bit, then I'll contemplate what to do with the day.

Good morning one and all.
My internal alarm malfunctioned and I awoke after 7:00.
Looking out on a sea of grey glistening roads and that fine mizzle that chills to the bone.
Am I despondent? Nah, I woke up feeling refreshed, I've got mizzle proof outdoor wear, and today, I choose to be cheerful 😁👍

Good morning, bike ride later.
