The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Good afternoon, world.

Well, that's been a bit of a day. Having been "pinged" as a contact of a COVID sufferer, I took a test today. Positive. Mrs Salad also tested but she's negative today. My only symptom is a snuffly nose at present.

So, I have been for a drive in PCR test and await results. Meanwhile, I am stuck watching much daytime TV.

But at least I have managed to order some more lateral flow kits.

Stay safe, everyone!

Hope you're ok Dodger.

Mrs D has had a bit of a "cold" the last few days. Shes been testing daily, 5 days in a row, and all have been negatory so shes carrying on. I guess we forget that people can still catch normal colds and flu and stuff.

I'll never get pinged, and the basis that i don't gave a mobile phone.

I recall a bumper sticker once that seemed tailor made for cranky oldies, not that they would be participating
on this thread...every day forces me to add to the long list of people to whom I could cheerfully say " kiss my ass".
And I have often heard flacid, droopy bosoms referred to as fried eggs. The trouble with getting old it is hard to retain much dignity if you took pride in your appearance. I don't know..perhaps it Depends.
Not very jolly this morning...we get the CatScan results from last Friday and I am very worried.
Be well and safe.

Here's to the results not being as bad as you feel they may be.

The good news is that if he can get hold of a wedding dress he'll get all the dates he wants in prison.

Question for @Drago . Will the driving ban start on his release from jail or will it be concurrent with the prison sentence .

Did I not hear on the news that if your LFT is positive but you have no symptoms then you don't need to isolate ?

I know of what you call bosoms being fried eggs........droopy bosoms are envelope flaps.

Sounds nice.
We had boiled egg, chopped up with butter, pepper and salt......with toast.

I've never tried this. Guess what brekkie will be tomorrow.

You may have heard if one gets a positive LFT there's no need to go for a PCR. I think the LFTs are very accurate now.

I think I'm right in saying symptoms or not with a positive result one should isolate.

 

[PaulSB]

Good luck to you and your good lady @12boy I'm sure we are all rooting for you both.

Really? Its very tasty.
My advice.........
Medium boiled ie not over done.
Ryvita is best but today I had toast.
Heavy on the pepper (assuming you like pepper).
Warm a cup then chop the eggs to bits (while warm).
Enjoy

Its for the court to specifiy, but upon release from chokey is the norm.

I thought they came in three sizes, droopers, super droopers and spaniels ears.

Sooper Drooper is one of my favourite ABBA tracks.

As from today, if the LFT is negative, if I read it correctly.

I’m not sure if it is still the case ( not trusting the incumbent bunch of crooks ) but only a positive PCR test is counted in the official numbers. By not requiring a PCR test to confirm a positive LFT test then it would seem that the “ official “ numbers of infections are dropping when that is not the case.
