The Retirement Thread

That be Stingray, not Thunderbirds. Do you not know your WASP from your FAB!!

And do you not read all of our posts...?

I was a big fan of Thunderbirds, Stingray, Fireball XL5 etc. as a child. I thought the intro to Stingray was really exciting!



It is odd how a kid can see the strings, know that (s)he is looking at puppets, but then still get really frightened that the puppets might die!

Aye, but your reply came on the next page. I replied in the full and certain knowledge that at least one other reply would already have been given.

Especially the projectile type!

They taught me the difference between flu (influenza) and 'flu' (a cold)!

When we got Covid early 2020 MrsD was throwing up for England. Real projectile type and with no warning.
Worst time was in bed.......early hours of the morning. That was fun cleaning up

I am going to give you a tip. Take note as it could save you some grief. When you put a part baked cob in the oven and it says "takes 10 minutes".........don't forget about it and go back 25 minutes later. It doesn't look good.

Morning folks ive ordered up some mudguards after my drenching the other day, will have to get some waterproofs too.
Re-yoga, i used to a lot of yoga in a class of about 20 women. I was there in the class one day doing various positions when the quietness of the room was rudely ripped apart by a tremendous ear splitting fart hee hee It wasnt a toot or a parp but a right royal ripper....i tried to contain my hilarity but couldnt and just cracked up! The yoga teacher was trying her best to explain how normal and natural this was....which made me laugh even more! I think the poor woman who let it go looked like she was going to die from embarassment! Yoga classes can be 'windy' places!

It was the abdominal crunches that had me blowing my own trumpet this morning, fortunately its a big hall, we were well spaced out and it wasn't loud or smelly, well not much, and no one knew apart from me.

I had a surprise this morning coming back from yoga I spotted our lads car parked behind mine and when I got in both my lad and his Good Lady were paying us a visit, she hasn't visited us for a while, we had a good catch up and we found out that its a grandson thats due in the spring.

Good afternoon people.
I was on a Zoom chat at lunchtime, a meeting of our Patient Support group. Our Consultant popped in for half an hour or so to keep us up to date with Clinical trials and other developments that are in the offing.
One thing that came to light was the Clinically Extremely Vulnerable database is a bit of a dogs breakfast with regards to how people get put on it and who is responsible to update the records etc is a bit of a " Black Hole" with much confusion, even among Doctors.
I also learned that I did not get my Covid " Booster " a few weeks ago. What i had was my " Third Primary Dose" and will be getting a further dose of the vaccine, which will again be Pfizer in due course. The database limitations mean that this " third dose " has to be registered as a "booster " although it is not. 💉💉💉💉

Am I the only one on here who can't stand beer? I hate the taste of it.

There’s beer, and there’s beer. Mrs Tenkaykev likes a hoppy IPA, I like a rich stout, there’s a wealth of different styles and tastes available, much like French cheeses 😉
