The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Apologies if I’m asking the obvious but is this the sort of thing that Citizen’s Advice could help with ?

Yes, probably. One of my, slightly younger, drinking Pals still does a day a week for them (free), he gets mostly benefit or debt queries. I used to do the same, but, too old to keep up now.

Good afternoon folks, a 10k amble this morning and I popped into the Co-Op along the way where I spotted an interesting sandwich. It’s Onion Bhaji with Mango Chutney on wholemeal bread. Mrs Tenkaykev say’s that it’s very good ( she’s my food taster, though she usually focuses on any chocolate I might have )
Dozed off on the sofa listening to a Podcast about the Space industry and now enjoying a coffee ☕️

I like this, and I know some of you will too especially with its mention of Welshie's bloomers.

I see there's no mention of going out in the dark with a working light, just a male escort.

Have you seen the rake on those forks!

I have been out for a ride today. Yesterday I had total enthusiasm failure and returned home after 15 miles . Today enthusiasm returned 42 miles , could have gone further but I wanted to do our Aldi shop before the school run mums arrived, well that was a failure . I ordered from Planet X yesterday at 13.30 paid for standard delivery , parcel arrived 12.30 today. vvvvvvvvvvv

Included 2 pairs of overshoes . I admit I’m not the greatest cyclist, but I certainly know how to destroy overshoes .

Stop walking to the shops in them... They are for wearing when riding the bike!

We've had an enjoyable and profitable evening down the club, good friends, plenty of laughter and as a bonus I won the first line on the bingo, I'm knackered now though, 25 miles on the bike this morning and I've taken my Good Lady out in her wheelchair twice today.

Evening folks had a pleasant spin today 24 miles and it didnt rain. Did some veg shopping and used my Abus Combiflex cafe stop lock, i like it its easy to use and as i could see my bike through the co-ops window it would give me enough time to leg it outside and whap any would be thief over the head with a tin of beans or whatever came to hand

Did you ever get the other one sorted out?

I'm keeping out of that one, but I think its being sorted, there are people who want me to get involved but I'm not interested.

Fair enough, I'll ask no more.
