The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I thought you raged against the car, didn't generally need one, just had use of one when you needed?

I bought it for the profit opportunity. With a little work and minimal expense I think I can flip it for a grand profit, maybe 1200 if Im lucky.

I do indeed use my own car very little. It wouldn't start yesterday, slapped it on charge quick before the new battery is ruined through inactivity - while cars are in my ownership the planet is very safe from exhaust pollution, because they never start their engines!

I guess you mean Twitter Lane which comes out opposite the Red Pump at the far end? It has it's uses when we want to circumnavigate Waddy Fell but usually we go over Waddy, down towards Newton, left for Cow Ark then head for Birdy and Ribchester. It's a great ride. Last summer we went over Cow Ark and it was so hot the tarmac was melting!!

(Shaun has been fiddling about with the forum... the edit box looks different! )

No, I mean Cross Lane, higher up... The other lane I mentioned doesn't seem to have a name! At least, OS didn't put it on my maps, and nothing appears on the Google map either...

I really like both of them (as well as the roads that you mention). Worth checking out, if you don't know them! I think I have a couple of photos somewhere taken from the NE lane looking towards the Dales... Ah yes:

Littgull posing for the camera...

And a random cyclist climbing a steep ramp towards me...

Noisy buggers are letting fireworks off outside... What's that all about? Oh yes, NYE/NYD... Bah humbug, thank goodness that is over for another year! Back to normal now...

Can you post a screenshot of it?

There's fireworks being going off for the last four hours here. A few minutes won't hurt you.

Your wish is my command...

Bruce is ignoring the fireworks, hismsnoring uninterrupted. Another reason to have a gun dog as a pet.

That's good. I have known so many dogs that freak out completely.

Morning and a Happy New Year to all. Hope it’s a happy and healthy one for everyone. Not sure about prosperous the state the country is in!

The forum doesn’t look quite sorted yet. I only have 9 available emoticons at the moment?

I heard heavy rain overnight so think I’ll do a road walk this morning since it’ll be quiet. I’ll walk out a few miles and then maybe jog back depending on how the legs feel.

Good morning and Happy New Year everyone ! Awoken by the wind battering against the window. Hoping to enjoy a morning walk before the crowds emerge.

 

[Dave7]

I wish everyone a happy 2022.
@Drago .....maybe I was a gun dog in a previous life as I was in bed 2230. Lots of fireworks but they did not bother me

Good morning, happy new year everyone.

Morning all. Happy New Year. I've clearly reached the age at which going to bed at 12.30am isn't a good plan.

I seem to be missing a lot of bits and pieces on here. Most of the text editing features are AWOL. I'll pop out and tell Shaun.

Yes, it looks like we've been visited by the gremlins.

I see classic has already started a thread on this problem. Trouble is I don't understand the answers. 😄
