The Retirement Thread

Nope. It's the ones that do nothing but annoy me with their noise. Petty I know, but if it was any of the others I probably would. Plus the big fatty is still in as far as I know as it was the other one that went out in the car half an hour ago so she can get off her arse and sort it herself. Lol

Mo! how un PC!

But, I agree!

Walked in to Poole and through the park to the hospital. Only two vials taken so my left arm is only slightly lighter than my right😉
Went past the public slipway and past the cycle speedway track.

Our drive is about 30 feet long and share with our neighbour. He won't walk his bin to the end of the drive to make it easier for the bin men. The bin lorry squishes the ground down and creates pot holes that have to be filled. If he put his bin at the end of the drive, the bin men wouldn't have to come on the drive at all. He is an arse

Sounds like a fair assessment

Do you use Google Find My Device?

I didn't...

Takes minutes to set up.

But... It DID, and now I DO!

The train got even busier to Birmingham but is now back to only about 60% full.

Just having a break from reading Dark Sacred Night (Ballard & Bosch) and will then read 100-odd pages before Exeter.

I am on a train to Devon. Very glad that I didn't try earlier in the week. This train is full so post-storm trains would have been horrendously overcrowded.

I finally got to test my new phone in bright sunlight. Unlike my old phone, this one is fine in bright conditions.

Here is a picture I took for you CycleChat wallflowers - a wallflower!

The camera is much better on this phone too.

Took two hour's on Monday to get back from Bradford. Cancelled, late running...

Any more numbers before the 7 0?

Did you get a Metro though!

From where our bins are stored to the back of the bin lorry is 8'.

Can they put the bin back where it came from?

No, it's just dumped in the middle of the drive 4' from it's start point.

And then, if I bump into the 'staff' in the run up to Xmas they drop veiled tip hints.

They do that here and i point out its three miles away, whilst pointing in the general direction.

Bit of sad news for us today
A couple we met in Menorca 5 years ago. MUCH younger than us but they just latched on to us which was fine as they were good company.
Now, he enjoyed a drink as do I. I don't recall him drinking to excess but apparently back home (in Moreton) he spent all his free time in the pub.
Anyway.......he is dead!!!!!
Aged just 45.
His ex tells us that he drank himself to death.
Lovely guy, very sad.

Sorry to be reading that.

Next thing you know you’ll be adding a dash of Worcester sauce to your cheese on toast and wearing a smoking jacket 😁

Add some, butter, beer, mustard, flour put everything in a small saucepan stir till you have a thick paste then spread on buttered granary toast before lightly grilling.

Now we're talking.

But would you eat it?

For those who like doing the washing, and have a soft spot for Marmite.
