The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Oh dear... Ha ha ha! Sorry, someone I know just got their words completely mixed up!!!

Anonymous friend: "I don't drink much these days, but every now and then I fancy having a heavy session and getting really sh*t-*rsed!"

ColinJ: "I don't think you mean that..."

Friend: "No, I DO mean it - I wanna get sh*t-*rsed!"

Colinj: "You want to get so drunk that you soil yourself?"

Friend: "Eh? Oops, er, no... sh*t-faced!"

Not "R*t*rsed".

 

[ColinJ]

Not "R*t*rsed".

Yes, I think they inadvertently spliced bits of the 2 expressions together!

"R*tf*ced" would look odd.

Good morning all.

Hello! After around 15-20 hours constant but gentle rain today has dawned bright and clear. The wonderful clearness we get after a lot of rain.

My cough seems significantly better. Mrs P has coughed 😷 all night. Tested negative yesterday which is good. She thinks she will be better today, I doubt it.

All housework done yesterday which is just as well. It's granddaughter minding day and given how Mrs. P is I suspect most of this is coming my way!

Must dash. Have to leave in 15 minutes

Melting already. I think I need my thermostat looking at. I can't cope with the heat this year for some reason.

Just a walk this morning and got couple of cartons of milk and bread on the way home. I'll wander round for more later.

No doubt be watching the cycling this afternoon.

Morning all

Looks like the good weather has returned.
Might have a garage tidying session today.

Morning. We had steady raib all afternoon then the heavens opened at about 6 pm. Torrential downpours then silence again after about 15 minutes. A tad moist here at the moment but supposed to be warmer than yesterday.

Stay safe peeps.

Not sure if the postie will deliver a new chain this morning. Thought I'd better change the one on the hybrid as it's a 1 x 12 set up and a new cassette will no doubt be a horrendous price so better to change the chain more regularly in the hope it lasts a decent length of time. Not sure what possessed me to get 12 speed as everything seems to be mega expensive.

Good Morning folks,
We had a bit of rain yesterday and a fair bit of flooding with some local roads being closed. Off to the Black Bear for lunch and a few pints with friends later. Veg box and Blue bin day as well, I can barely contain my excitement!
Stay safe ( and dry ) folks 👍

Good morning gentle folk.
I got up at 05.30, had a drink, decided I was knackered so went back to bed. I feel so much better now.
Have to visit the library later as the books are due back so might make a walk out of it as its just short of 2 miles.

Good idea. I like when I can combine exercise with another purpose too. I miss cycling over to see dad as it was a good way of checking on him and spending time with him and getting a ride in too.

Good morning all, a little brighter here today. Intending a trip down to the botanic gardens at Dawyck.
