The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Know what you mean.
There was something on the radio the other day about people being stressed out due to media overload - too many doom and gloom articles. Apparently, some children are needing therapy.
Makes you wonder how we got through the Suez crisis, Cuban missile crisis, IRA bombings, Vietnam war, Cold War, 70s fuel crisis etc being constantly on the news when we were growing up.
I never felt stressed by any of the above, despite having a close shave with the Holly Bush bombing in Birmingham - I could very easily have been in there that night, but decided at the last moment to go to Henry's Blues Bar instead at the other end of New St.

Yep. Every man and his dug seems to have mental health problems these days. I find it bizarre to be honest. It's almost as though the media encourage it.

Good morning all. It's a beautiful day in Lancashire. I've just popped in to say I won't be popping in again for a while. I'm OK, no one has upset me, I'm not flouncing but I do need a break from all things related to cycling.

I hope you all keep well and take care. Cheers.

I know what you mean Paul, it's good to have a little break now and again. CC is a bit like Hotel California...you can go but you can never leave

Mental issues are the new black.

All things cycling!
I blame those boots you were wearing recently, after all

Bonjour. Today I am going to cur the grass, how exiting is that?
On a plus note, I managed to go for a 24 miles ride yesterday with a few hills thrown in for good measure and felt very good about it.
On Wednesday, i had a call from my son from Amsterdam to say all car rentals in Liverpool airport were short of vehicles so I met him at the airport to give him a lift home.
Sunny and spring like again today .

Good Daddy

I have to say I am very surprised you made this comment. As it’s totally offensive on so many different levels . 😕😕😢😢😢

I decided not to say anything. (Makes a change I know)

I don't mind the news in small doses. It's all the lies that newspapers throw around that gets on my errr nerves.

I think what Dirk maybe meant, and I feel the same to be honest, is the way racist this and black that are thrown at us day after day. It does get a bit irritating!

Morning. Lay on for a bit as I’m feeling lazy today.

Another cold but lovely start so off out now for a gentle wander. I’ll just do the riverside loop this morning.

Coming from the South it's lay in not lay on.

Is lay on Scottish or does it start somewhere in Northern England I wonder?
