The Retirement Thread

Jake failed. A major fail within 5 minutes. Very narrow road, cars parked in his side of the road he should have stopped to let the oncoming traffic have right of way. He decided there was enough room for 2 cars so basically tried to bull his way through. Immediate fail and straight back to the driving centre. He didn't even finish the test. Apparently they don't now. Any major fail within the first 20 minutes or so and they go straight back to the centre

Silly boy.

^^^ better to learn the lesson now. He'll be OK next time.

I have just managed a walk. Only 1 1/2 miles and at times I felt I was walking like an old drunk (don't say it) but I made it.
Sat in conservatory now enjoying a brandy n port.

Now let me see if I've got this right? We've all passed 60, some 65, others 70 and I've a sneaking suspicion we've a couple at 75+ and perhaps an 80+

Dave is sat around drinking brandy and port at ten past four in the afternoon and at times feels like an old drunk.......

I'm saying nothing...............but Mrs P is doing something online upstairs so I've grabbed a "small" whisky......🤔🤔🤔

I spotted that last week on my ride back in but was passed it before I realised what it was, so I made sure I stopped and got a picture this morning.

Or a fluffy Lamb if you're quick enough to catch one. Sheepskin toilet paper, very posh.. Although I suppose that would be classed as Glamping.

It might be classed as bestiality !

WOW!!!!! Just popped up in my YouTube feed.......

Ghosts

Come on Bruce get these guys back on the road........soon as possible.

It arrived. That was quick. Still to put front mudguard on. Heck of a high front end even for an audax bike. Not sure whether to get it cut down a bit or just enjoy the comfort?

That's a lovely Christmas present Mo!

To be fair I said I felt I was walking like an old drunk......I didn' feel like an old drunk.
