The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Today started very windy, then turned very wet as the wind eased, we now seem to be in a short window of light wind and light rain, before everything ramps up several notches later in the afternoon. Here on the east side we will escape the worst of it.
The snow forecast for Friday morning is looking interesting though.

Glad to hear you’re in your new place, hope the heating issue gets resolved soon.

Thanks Flick of the Elbow im sure the council will sort it out. I bought a small fan heater which is doing the job and keeping hyperthermia at bay!

One question, why are you paying for the meal. Shouldn't you be eating free of charge?

I have no problem answering that.
I/we have some money in the bank. I am 75. No pockets a a shroud. Nice family and good friends. Its a pleasure to do it.

 

[Dave7]

Happy birthday Dave. 🍾🍾 Age is just a number.

Try telling that to my willy, leggs

MOD NOTE:
It has been drawn to our attention that some Members are posting details/clues about the day's Wordle puzzle.
While this is great for those who have already done it, it doesn't help (it actually spoils the day) for those who do the puzzle later in the day.

So, for the benefit of all the Retirees (and maybe some of the younger ones too ...) please restrict your posts about Wordle to "I did it in 2 today" (or however many it took you ... ) and avoid giving any clues for those who have yet to face their biggest challenge of the day !

Thank you.

Happy Birthday @Dave7 and many more of them. Why don't you take @Dirk with you, I'm sure he must get a frequent eater discount

Glad my day is a bit more important than playing Wordle!

Maybe she cut the end because she didn't like how it went.

Do you mean it will be pissing it down Am I allowed to say that

He's always been a truble maker. We should put him in the stocks for a few hours, but he might like it.

That's us told then. Pensioners behaving badly

It seems there are calls for cyclists to take a test like car drivers.

Does that mean pedestrians will have to take a test, car drivers and passengers will have to wear crash helmets and high his outerwear. This smells of sour grapes to me. Lots of cyclists are also drivers so would they have to take another test? Utter tosh
