The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Nope simple maths. Jeans AND shoes equal X. Just shoes equals less money. Simples

Yes......but NO shoes = NIL SPEND.

Don't be silly.

Don't be silly.

I will give up gracefully as I can only lose here

It's his secret identity. Shhhh. Keep it quiet

I'll not tell a sole.

Did she need new shoes though, that is the question.

Family 'do' today.
Nephew was up for his first Holy Communion
Not being Catholic I just did the stading up, sitting down and kneeling bits

I did find that the mask wearing thing has the advantage that you don;t have to pretend to sing etc - although I think my wife noticed

However, a question
Does anyone else find the idea of 8 year old girls wearing what is, in effect, a wedding dress - rather weird??

 

[classic33]

You presume wrongly Sir.

You knew it was on!

 

[Paulus]

You knew it was on!

Only by looking at the TV schedule though.

TBH I find the whole thing weird.

 

[Paulus]

I have no truck with religion of any sort.
As a young teenager I asked a man of the cloth some questions regarding some of the stories in the good book
The answers I got did not convince me to go along with main steam religion.
The Catholic faith decrees that we are born as sinners, that cannot be right.
I have been an atheist for many years.

I've never thought much about it. I was raised a Catholic and the last time I saw this was 60 years ago. It seemed pretty normal then.

I remember my first Holy Communion I was all dressed up in a black suit and even had an Eton collar

If you think that is weird then don't go to the shrine at Fatima in Portugal.
Mind boggling. Too much to describe: you have to see it for yourself.

I always wanted to go to Lourdes, but it is now very expensive to the agree of being a money making racket so I've been told
I'm sure Our Lady would not have wanted that.

Knock, Co Mayo, is much the same.
