The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I just heard on he news that oil companies are making record profits and yet, energy prices are rocketing. Who is taking who for a ride?

Poor Joe Public fair game as usual

I was forced to do it at school

So was I.

I was having fun playing rugby as a teenager until some cowardly toerag in the other team reached under and punched me in the face in a scrum. The red mist descended upon me when they laughed at my bleeding nose and I subsequently flattened half their team as they attempted to stop me on the way to scoring my one and only try. It seemed that the only way I could play well was to play very hard and I didn't enjoy that gladiatorial feeling so I gave it up!

I think I will stop watching the news. I am sick and tired of the rich and powerful always getting away with everything, above all laws and forever wanting more at our expense.
The human race is not pretty.

I was forced to do it at school we were not allowed to play football, now I hate all sports, I don't even watch cycling

Games teachers wouldn't trust me trying to play hockey. I was "side lined" after the first game, not allowed a second chance.

Cards!

I like cards. Especially Canasta. On Friday we have friends coming for tea and then an evening of Canasta.

I just heard on the news that oil companies are making record profits and yet, energy prices are rocketing. Who is taking who for a ride?

Yes, I've struggled to understand this.

Hello! I slept well but not long enough. Just finished a brew and Wordle so I will now try to doze. Wordle solved in five when I thought I had made a brilliant spot at line four!!

Today I'm standing for election as Treasurer for our local U3A at the AGM. It's unopposed. Do we have any retired accountants or bookkeepers in here? I'm casting around for an Excel spreadsheet template which will run accrual accounting.

Rovers at home to Forest tonight. This is a MUST win game. After Saturday's loss the pressure is on for a win.

** Nice words "bookkeeper," "bookkeeping" etc. The only words in the English language to have three consecutive double letters.

Morning. Maybe @Saluki.

Wordle done in four again. That seems to be my average.

It’s not nice here. Cold, breezy and rain/sleet showers but should manage a walk. Blue bin day for us.
