The Retirement Thread

I used to love my thongs. Course, nowadays we call em flipflops. And I still wear them in the summer time.

An odd way of wearing them to say the least

I never quite know whether you know what we mean by certain words, but are joking with us...

We are talking about what used to be called g-strings! (As in undergarments, not things fitted to musical instruments... )

I just checked on Amazon.com - you do use it the same way. It must be very confusing using the same word for underwear and footwear!

Any recommendations for home contents insurance, and to include cover for my bikes out and about? Also desirable - cover for legal fees and damages in case of involvement in a serious accident***.

I used to get all of that on my home and contents insurance when I was a property owner.


*** I do not expect to be causing such an accident, but I remember reading about one cyclist being sued after a simple touch of wheels left the other rider with life-changing injuries.

All my experience is for Buildings and Contents cover. I've been happy with Hastings Direct for several years which gives me worldwide new for old. Bikes over a certain value have to be individually named personal items rather than simply under bike cover which isn't sufficient. I think we paid £230ish last renewal.

Most companies offer legal expenses as an add on which I don't take. As I'm a BC member I would use their cover, BC are experts, I hope, in the field whereas Hastings will be very general and wide-ranging.

Morning. Rubbish sleep. Window was open as usual and my noisy neighbours not content with annoying me during the day now have 3 dogs one of which must have the runs as their door opened, outside light came on and wandering about on the gravel talking at least three times.

 

[Dave7]

I do that as well.

Not very big are they

When we had our static van a 'neighbour' used to hang her undies on a line......her undies were massive while she was quite skinny.
Their van was on the main field so said undies were on view to the world .

Good morning people, shopping day has come round again, failed on the wordle this morning.

I didn't know you wore thongs. 🤔

About 7 years ago I was 'winding up' a girl behind the bar at the golf club.
I told her I was wearing my wife's pink thong.
I didn't realised she actually believed it and it quickly spread that Dave was a cross dresser

Good morning world.
Another good sleep.
Just have to visit the auntie this morning as I sort her finances out.
Paperwork to file......not much else today.

I went with Admiral (home and contents) as Direct Line were charging and extra £50 for bikes over £1k, with Admiral I'm covered up to £2k, not sure about away from home. Re specific bike insurance, I've been with Wiggle for 2 years now, I've only got the third party cover but it comes with legal cover and all for £24 a year. They do 3 levels last time I looked so one of them may suit if you can't find cover included with your contents.

Good morning, world.

3 degrees and overcast on Planet Thanet today.

I slept very badly (again) and have no firm plans for today, but if it's not too cold I might get out on the garden today: veg patch needs digging over and apple tree needs a thorough pruning.

Keep safe and warm, everyone.
