The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

Off to the new LIDL in Barnstaple this morning, will drop in to the caravan storage on the way back, to pick up the bedding.
@Dave7 I watched another film you'd enjoy, yesterday. 'Sexy Beast' starring Ray Winstone, Ian McShane & Ben Kingsley.
I never knew that Gandhi knew so many swear words!

Good morning all, dull and damp here.

I can handle swearing. I can't stand it when its constant Fng.

Good morning, world!

Today on Planet Thanet its mainly dull and grey, but it won't deter Mrs Salad and I from leading the weekly "social stroll", which is a chance for older folk to meet up, walk and talk together. It's not a hike: just a leisurely amble to a cafe and back.

In rodent related news, there is no sign of further intrusion, so perhaps Mickey quite literally took the bait....

Have a good day, everybody!

We have traps around the outside of the house to get the little buggers before they get into the house .

Back from a pleasant walk.

Re my liner gloves Paul, yes they are nice and thin but seem to do the trick. It's the double layer that helps I think rather than the thickness.

I also enjoyed The Tower last night and looking forward to the next part tonight, although it's yet another programme I am finding the sound not great. I have a decent sound bar too and even that doesn't seem to help. The dark haired DI seems to mumble all the time

It was a lot worse than constant fng.....it was almost constant cnt.
Now I know where MrsD gets it from.

Afraid I can be a bit of a swearer for a lady! Maybe nearly 26 years in the prison service didn't help. Lol

Morning folks after getting drenched yesterday i'll need to revise my attire oh and some mudguards! On my way home yesterday as i gritted my teeth into the howling deluge an experianced cyclist coming the other way didnt look at all bothered with the conditions....he had all the right gear and nonchalently said hi or good afternoon as he sailed by...couldnt tell which as my lugholes were full of water

I listen to the podcast " Something Rhymes with Purple " It's all about words and their origins and is hosted by Giles Brandreth and Susie Dent. There was a recent episode specifically about Sex, and the euphemisms for it both historical and current. The word F**k originally meant to hit or beat, and one of the original names for the Kestrel was " Windf*cker " as its wings beat the air when hovering.
Well worth a listen 👍

Can you not connect your noise cancelling headphones to your TV Mo? Either by cable or BlueTooth. ( my four year old LG has Bluetooth and I set it up to "talk" to my earphones ( more as a technical challenge )

Morning all,,, How's this for a "small world init". My brother-in-law and his wife love there cruises and usually go on one every year except for the last couple of years. Anyway they went on one last week, a cruise around the Canaries. Mrs GM got a text from her brother to say " I'm sitting at the table having dinner with a lady who lives 10 doors away down your road" small world init!

Enjoy your day folks!
