The Retirement Thread

[swee'pea99]

As I discovered, when I asked an elderly local man if we were actually in Slay-th-wait! (He was totally confused by what I was asking him... I had to spell out the name of the town to him, and he looked totally bewildered that anybody could possibly imagine that it was pronounced that way! )

I've posted this before, but..

Baffled a local or two while touring Norfolk by asking if I was good for 'happy's-berg' (Happisburgh) until the light suddenly dawned behind one furrowed brow: 'Oh, you mean Hairs-brer'.

Rain stopped play, Got my good lady ready and in her wheelchair for a trip to a local shopping area, looked out the door and the rains started, she's now back on the settee and I'm back on the computer.

We backpacked across the States in 1980. In California we wanted to visit "yos-e-mite" it took sometime before we found a man who directed us to:

yo-semi-tee

😂😂

I kept annoying my daughter by calling it 'yos-e-mite' when we were there, seemed right to me!

Another FB one from the other day. Tesco back to basics!

After an hour the sun came out so we got ready again and got our shopping done, and it stayed dry whilst we were out.

A productive day, a couple of hours on the bike this morning, beating the forecast rain, then caught up with the velodrome action, (what a madison ! 😍), then fitted my new wheels to my Raleigh and the wheels off my Raleigh to my Kinesis. And I’ve still got the Arctic Tour of Norway to watch, that will wait until after tea

I think I just dug up Mommy and Daddy carrot.

The boys dun good! Magic. Rovers played very well. Lots of crisp, short, accurate passing. Good anticipation of where Swansea players were passing to and intercepting those passes. Defence looked solid. We're going to need a leader for tough games. We don't have an obvious one, they've all left, so that's a problem.

All round a good afternoon. Rovers 2 Swansea 1. My lad was very happy. It was an emotional return but I guess you have to be a fan.

I have a very nice glass of red.

I was in a bar in Manchester last night.My pint cost £5-25, I felt like shouting I was paying 10p for a pint of Double Diamond at your age.No actually it was two shillings.

Oh boy. Am i first today. That's a new one.

Morning gang. Wet and miserable here today. Yet another day for slobbing I think. It's a hard life isn't it?

Stay safe peeps. And dry
