The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Good grief. I’ve never had one never mind every time I go out the door!

I know just how you feel. I always. shop around for insurance, but, I hate the "ringing up to see if we can discuss our quote". I usually tell them "I expect you to give me your best quote, first time, if you didn't tough, you have lost my business". Sometimes, I am a little more forthright

I'm going to have to put up with countless calls over the next month. I always advise people to shop around every year, but it's such a pain in the arris

Rain stopped play, I got out for a little bimble this morning, I rode through a series of little short sharp showers but by the time I'd crossed Park lane into Nuthurst Lane the rain had become heavy and persistent, at that point I put on my waterproof and turned back, I rode past the Astley Book Farm and meandered back home, rode 16 miles in total and got in looking like a drowned rat, once I'd been and got our papers I fell out of my clothes and into the shower, now warm and changed into dry clothes I'm sat here with a cuppa posting on cycle chat.

Rain (and lack of sleep!) has probably stopped any hope of cycling play even starting here today!

I don't need to go to the shops today but I could do with some fresh air. If the rain eases off a bit I will probably walk down to the station to pick up a Metro, then I could fall asleep trying to do the crosswords...

Pipe seems tomhave survived ok. It looks a bit dull, but a coat of the canauba wax I use on my basses has restored its lustre.

Rain has stopped but its hellish cold.

I’m hopeless at pop music.

TBF her bonus questions were on 60s music which is my era. I got 18 points from them.

It could have been worse. A friend of Mrs F’s once forgot the poo bag from the dog walk that she still had in her coat pocket
She had to bin the entire contents of the wash

Can't you do it online? I do every year and never get any phone calls.

Me neither. Sounds a bit extreme to say the least.

Hmmmmm.......so having established a network connection I'm updating the Xbox console.

I've vaguely worked out which buttons do what but not all. I'm hoping an update will help.

I may have to find a random teenager 😭

I always do it online from comparison sites, but they still bloomin phone me. I can't get away from the buggers

Who would ever put a dog poo bag in their pocket in the first place!!!!

(Apart from Mrs F's crazy friend... )
