The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

I'm just devastated

Last night I thought were getting better - petrol stations have fuel and no queues and
Most of all


Turns out the Mc Flurry supply at McDonald's has been restored!!!!





Now this morning I have found that Greggs have supply problems!!!!!


Good job I prefer the sausage rolls from the Pound Bakery - but it looks like civilisation is just crumbling around us!!!

Who knows what will be next???

If the chippie has to shut we are stuffed!

Morning all

Had heavy rain overnight but it's supposed to be clearing today.
Got my onion sets planted yesterday. Trying a different strain this time - Electric Red.
MrsD's new laptop should be delivered today. I got fed up with her moaning about the old one over the past 18 months. I kept telling her to get a new one, but she did nothing about it. I finally snapped last week and dragged her down to Curry's to sort one out.
So, if there's any problems with the new one........it'll be MY fault.

Ah yes, I know this one. Two years of complaining. I have identified several, been to PC World to check them, encouraged Mrs P to return with me.................Mrs P still has the old laptop.

Mrs P temporarily lost her phone recently. "Have you got a back up?" "No." Later the phone is found. "Would you like me to create an automatic backup?" I've offered four times now.

You can buy Greg's sausage rolls frozen in Iceland.

Local facebook page of your area is very good, in your case Poole,
I get all the updates from the doctors, traffic, lost and and found and so much information not to be missed

Don't be a spoilsport... wives have to have something to complain about (I am just donning my protective headgear for the responses from certain quarters )

Oooh, my big pooter is updating itself to Windows 11.

And eventually, the floods of tears when all of her family photos are lost...

I am amazed by how many people lose all of the photographs of their children, holidays etc because they only existed on a now dead or lost phone.

I witnessed several very clever colleagues losing vital work data when their tech failed. One lost a whole year's worth of work!

I don't get why they can't see the risk...

Managed to get out for a bimble this morning, my Brinklow loop, 25 miles, a bitter cold morning with a strong cold wind blowing, I needed gloves and my woolly hat today for the first time since last winter, it also got a bit damp in places, I rode through three short sharp showers, the first one started as i rode away from Brinklow towards Coombe Abbey and I had two more before I got home. When i was riding out of Coventry i rode past the air ambulance which had landed on Sowe Common and was just about to take of. it was a tad cold and damp this morning but it was good to get out and stretch my legs.

Neither do I but it's amazing how many don't. Everything on my phone backs up every 24 hours and my laptop constantly when I use it.

Well it's all updated. Its a bit of an anti climax really, the difference isn't great.

I keep everything backup up, multiple coppies in multiple formats, with a second set of backups in all formays in the safe.
