The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

I've been shopping without a mask half way down the road I realised and too far to go back, asked the security guard at the door if he had any, sorry we don't supply people with masks so carried on without one, no said anything so that's OK then.
Note to self - leave spare mask with trike in future

@Dave7 MrsD will be pleased to know I've bought some new jeans. Levis original 501 straight cut, button fly. Only £85.........
Pah! James Dean .... eat yer heart out.

£85 ......I haven't bought any jeans in years

How long did that take? It took me 40+ minutes on hold last week to get through to book my flu jab and Covid booster. I wish that they would play quieter, less distorted music for the people queuing. I suppose it stops them falling asleep while they wait!

Try getting the My GP app. Most of routine admin stuff with our GP such as booking some appointments (not always available), repeat prescriptions etc are done via the app.

Dirk, whatever you do don't disrobe in the local launderette and put your jeans in the washing machine, you'll get the local lasses emotions all a flutter 😎

Yippee! Bank of England raises interest rates to.............0.25%
We're rich, Rodders!

 

[Dirk]

She is suitably impressed
Like those jeans but not keen on the button fly....... too much faff when you get an urgent need for a pee.

I don't have any 'old man's problems' fortunately. So I can still be a style icon.

I've had a pair of 501's for years. You get used to the button fly, as long as you have deft fingers.

Please stop talking about jeans. I am trying my best to stop buying anymore. I already have a wardrobe full of them, some still have the tags on them

That's going to make a world of difference

I remember sitting in the bath wearing the first pair I bought in the 60s. They were 'shrink fit' in those days. Don't have to do that now.

It'll pay for a few Sunday lunches.

Anyone can be caught out
Imagine the scene. You have had your normal meal of MASSIVE pie, chips and veg plus YOUR NORMAL 3 PINTS. You drift off for a pee. No problem, nice and relaxed AND THEN you can't bet the buttons undone.
Panick !!!!!

I've only got two pairs and both must be over 20 years old

I'll let MrsD handle that problem - she's still deft in that department.
