The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Mrs D isn't doing well in the enforced confinement, but I'm fine. Mildly narked at some things I want to get done but can't, but in the grand scheme I've got nothing to whittle about.

So 29 miles today in two hours. Very good conditions but bleeding cold in some spots.

Same here. Chilly wind. Wasn't going to go at first, but glad I did. Roads lovely and quiet.

I'm not so sure, no I'm not talking about dying, but if one got the virus and survived one would know how you would stand, at the moment it is like waiting for the jury to announce if your innocent or guilty, it is the not knowing that I can't stand.

I just reassure myself that if Prince Charlie and Boris get it with barely noticeable symptoms, hopefully we will be alright too.

Slight difference.
Charlie probably had 15 of the country's top doctors and 75 nurses looking after him**
It I get it, it will likely be tough sh*t mate, you are on your own.
**dont take those figures literally.

Thanks, The one I've been doing over the last couple of years has about 1000 pieces. It's currently rolled up in the broom cupboard!

If you're feeling adventurous, there's a 209 piece one. It could take an eternity, maybe even longer to complete.

Most have only one solution, the 20 piece one has 50.

Nah.....no where near.

He even wrote the book!

Yeah but knowing my luck the bloody ventilator would break and I would fall out of bed and crack my head open

Anyone want a jar of pickled onions? I've been clearing out and cleaning the kitchen cupboards. Halfway through.

🙄🤮

I've eaten worse for a bet.

I managed to do 30 minutes on the turbo yesterday, none today but back on it again tomorrow.

Can you depress the centre button though?

Didn't try. Unscrewed lid and sniffed.

You're supposed to try pressing before you open.

What'd they taste like?
