The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

You are all wrong. Breaking news just in from our intrepid reporter. The bins were emptied at 9.05 am. Woohooo

I was going to guess that time, but I was out with the dog.
Surely, if the people emptying the bins are men, then they are Binmen. If they are of the female persuasion, then who knows.

Its nice to hear that she's getting better.

Many thanks I hope you and your good lady are coping OK

Morning folks its cool with a gentle breeze here in Brora. I do like this time of year slipping into autumn it can be achingly beautiful. Im glad the wind has dropped i havent the strength [yet] to combat 10/15mph headwinds and not being a masochist i try to keep a reasonable balance of grin and grimace on by ambles Making progress though! A hill i had to dismount on has gone from 1st gear to 2nd and going up it tuther day a group of fit n fast riders coming down warned each other of my presence by shouting "rider ahead" or was it " newbie super hero ahead"? hee hee i favour the latter!

New headphones arrived. Currently listening to Pink! Not my usual listening but it came up as something to listen to to experience the full sound effect and it is pretty impressive. Seem comfy too. I've not got it that loud but can barely hear my fingers clicking on the keyboard when typing so the noise cancelling seem good too. You can adjust volume and tracks by swiping your finger on the right ear phone. God knows how they do all these things! Oh, and if you temporarily want to hear something you just place your hand on the back of the speaker and it reduces the volume right down so you can hear.

I'm totally out of touch with all the modern terms. Still don't even really know what woke means. Half the country seems to be full of a bunch of snowflakes! Every friggin tv programme these days seems to have warnings at the start and help lines at the end. Even the Yorkshire Vet has a warning that there may be scenes of animal surgery that you might find disturbing........well don't watch the feckin thing then!

I think woke means people that are offended by everyone and everything no matter what it is just because they can.

Close

OK not as exciting as headphones, the Postman ( yes it is a postman) has just delivered.

We could run a sweep to see who guesses the closest to what time they will appear. I will have 11.20

Collection time or the time she notices that they've been emptied?

14:40 is my choice.

 

[classic33]

If I can say man hole cover you can say bin men That will probably get us both banned

Rubbish Operative or Waste Operative, which given they're not actually operating it is plain misleading.
