The Retirement Thread

[gavroche]

Do you know something I don't re Mr Drago ?

Look into the pet thread. He had to put his dog to sleep so very stressful time for him, understandably.

As you say.....very sad.
Also one reason we have never had a dog (or cat).

Good morning people,murky this morning with lots of liquid sunshine in the forecast, the carers were early this morning, and my dud hip is complaining.

Good morning all, damp here.

Good morning. It's wet! So what's happening? Not much in all honesty. There's some housework to do as I was away last week and the house needs catching up.

Rovers are playing the Baggies today. This could be great..........or we will get stuffed. I've no idea which.

Morning. It's been raining since 5 am here and it's going to he raining all day, so a slobbing day is on store for me.

Stay safe peeps

Morning. A muggy and overcast walk done but escaped with only the very faintest drizzle.

Porridge time now.

A Morningside in Leicester ? Jings !

Yes indeed!!
The tournament was last 2004 …not sure why is stopped….but here we are, with a big my town that nobody knows about 🤣
Have to say: even though the format is clearly not like more normal snooker titles….we had a fabulous day out watching on Thursday.

Early bargain £7.50 all day tickets (full price £15)….where else could we have paid that and seen Higgins, Trump, Selby, Carter, Bingham, Doherty and a whole bunch of new players complete matches over just 12 hours?
12 or 13 games…I know it isn’t really comparable, but Crucible tickets we’ve had for early rounds have been around £50-70 for a session with 8 frames of snooker!
Very relaxed seating - the place was perhaps only ⅓rd full, snookers best kept secret this year.

went with pals, & had gaps between sessions for a nice cafe lunch in town, then a couple of hours for a walk up the Melton Road for a delicious Cafe Delhi early dinner before the evening session.

Mr & Mrs Selby were enjoying drinks with pals in the small bar area as we left: he was very happy to have photos with him, very relaxed, a genuinely nice fella 🍻

It isn’t snooker as we know it: Selby barely got a look-in with Carter on the form he was in, unlike the Crucible where you can lose a session 4-0 but still be in it…..but fun nonetheless!

I hope they keep it in Leicester…worked well, even if it is an odd venue for it 😎👍

Whos a good boy then
Tidied the house
Washed the dishes
Put a loaf of bread on to bake
Got 1st load of washing in
Been to Aldi for some veg plus some drinks (Liverpool live on tv later)

 

[Dave7]

Anyway.......
Someone on here, t'other day, mentioned the speed of the staff at Aldi checkouts.
So........
This morning I asked the question and.... ...
The answer is yes......from when they they start to process your items they are timed for the whole transaction.

I wonder if they take into account those dosy pillocks that wait till its all done before deciding to look fore their credit card/purse. That really does annoy me.
