The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Been on Croyde beach this morning and caught the biggest Grey Mullet I've ever had*

*First one I've caught.

I've never caught a Mullet, seen loads in the River Hamble really big ones

I’ve never caught a Mullet either. I’m embarrassed to admit too it now , I did have one on my head when I was younger. .

Don't forget Boxing Day is on the 27th this year.

🤔 Surely it’s the 28th .

Even worse... the short half was at the back!

Well things are looking up. My symptoms are declining. No 3 son has said he will go with his partner and baby (my granddaughter and No 2 son's niece) to see No 2 son on Christmas Day - they are clean and haven't needed PCRs. Mrs P is still clean and it's looking good for her to visit No 2 son as well. Christmas Day is booked with everyone for Tuesday provided I, No 1 son and his partner get negative LFTs on the 27th and 28th. 🤞🤞🤞

We can shut the windows and doors then! I'm sat here with a blanket across my knees!

A very Merry Christmas to you all. Like @Tenkaykev there have been days when this daft thread has lifted me.

Thank you all.

Back home from the White Lion, packet of crisps and 4 pints of Otter Ale consumed.
Tucking in to a Warren's pasty now.

What does Warren have to say about this? You've nicked his pasty!

You have let me down Dirk. Friday and no fish ?

Yeah it's getting very complicated. I was told the 28th not the day of the week. I thought the 28th was Wednesday but apparently it's Tuesday. This is good news as Rovers are home on the 29th which is Wednesday which means I can have a drink on the 28th which is Tuesday!

How's the head Dave? Any clearer?

Enjoy tomorrow and Boxing Day knowing you lot I’m sure you will.Happy Christmas one and all.
