The Retirement Thread

Thank god women don't have to put up with men cleaning womens toilets. If they tried, they would be hung from the ceiling by their fingertips.....or worse

We are gearing up to go out**
We joined the Irish club a short while ago. It's very nice and seems to have nice clientele.
Tonight (1800) they are laying on a free meal of OAPs. No idea what it will be. We shall see.
**TBH we are half inclined not to go with this Covid rising rapidly but our friends will be waiting for us.

Time for our Parsley Box verdict, having now consumed all but one of the meals received back in October. Actually, we were quite happy with them, in fact I’ve now ordered some more. They are a bit pricey and not very big. We found that in order to make a meal of them we had to do lots of additional veg. But they are tasty and we really like that they can be stored in a cupboard so are ready to go whenever we want, no defrosting required. I quite liked the wine that came with them too, they have a number of wines available in half and quarter bottles so I’ve ordered a few more of those too.

We have been trying Wiltshire Farm Foods recently. Excellent service and quality.
Like yours, they are tight with the veg but it suits MrsDs appetite at the moment.

Interesting. Similar to our verdict, ie tasty enough, but, a bit small. I suspect they are sized for less active people, who don’t need to eat so much. For now, we have ditched them, but, perhaps in the future.

Well No 2 son needs his booster and by coincidence received a letter today offering a flu jab and booster. Can I find anywhere offering flu jabs? No! Went on the NHS website for a booster.....................you are number 10854 in the queue!!!!!! Got rejected several times only to realise when entering the NHS number it has to include the spaces 123 456 7890. Finally got one for 8.50 tomorrow. Can't complain about that.

In other news very happy with today's ride though four bailed due to forecast rain which we got for ten minutes. Three of us very pleased with a 40 mile smash to get to the cafe at 17mph avg. Then a steady 12 miles home to finish with 15.5 avg. Happy with this and have to keep it going till March 31st to get myself back to my 2020 form. I've been way of the pace this year and disappointed in myself.

Yeah, why is that? I can't say I'm phased by female cleaners but it seems to me they are potentially as vulnerable as women would be if a man was cleaning their toilets.

There were quite a few viewers who initially thought this was genuine. I particularly liked the heating element made from a piece of a Trident Submarine nuclear reactor core 😂 It's a great channel, I've been subscribed to the BigClive Youtube channel for several years now, and his brother Ralphy has a channel where he rates various Whiskys. ( though I'm not sure if he's being serious as some of his appraisals are a bit " Jilly Goulden "

Potatoes?

Last meal MrsD had there was Irish stew.
I shall report back

I struggled to understand the F1 thing over the last 24 hours. Well done Eddie Jordan for speaking plain English and giving a proper explanation on BBC Breakfast programme this morning.

My stepdaughter and I had met up at the Bull Ring for lunch and when I came out of the toilets I told her what had just happened. She said that she has seen male cleaners in women's toilets and didn't really like it.

In the toilets today the urinals were not the type that had privacy panels between them (which would have offered some shelter from marauding cleaners) - these were 'open plan', so it would be pretty difficult to clean between them without copping an eyeful. Or in my case, a quarter of an eyeful!

Can I find anywhere offering flu jabs?

I was just looking locally and the Boots pharmacies here do them. Try your local one?
