The Retirement Thread

[Sterlo]

What sort of kitchen were you running?

I thought there were a lot of women in there.

Evening folks someone actually came and took the tree! Silly of me to imagine that so many would be clamouring for a free tree [to save the planet n all] it would cause a riot

@Mo1959 . You shop at the Coop I think.
We tried the following (chilli beef with rice) today.....very tasty. We had one between us with jacket potato and it was more than enough.
Instruction is to micro for 90 seconds.....not enough imo.

She has finally managed to change her password and get back in. I'll speak to her again later to go through a few things!

Guess what... she had only put MY email address in as her alternative contact details BUT NOT TOLD ME! I had been getting iffy-looking messages claiming to be from Microsoft over the past few days - 'suspicious activity on your account x*********z@hotmail.com' and just routinely deleted them on the grounds that I do not have an email address like that!

She has now set up a gmail account as her alternative account, and I suggested that she puts her mobile number in there too.



I used to live up the 'hill' beyond the Wallace, so I knew Jubilee Crescent very well. I used to go to the library there.


I think a day like that is coming sooner than I'd like! I can put up with having to get up once during the night but if it gets to once an hour then even I will feel obliged to see the doc...

I've been getting similar. Always someone trying to log in to my account, using the latest handset.

That doesn’t sound correct. Sure it tells you to do longer than that! Is it not three and a half minutes? Could be wrong.

I have been known to be wrong but I will check.
But it was very nice.

I’m sure they have changed the recipe a bit and I don’t like it as much as I used to. I had their braised beef and mash tonight with some Brussels sprouts. It was nice.

I’ve resorted to watching an old Lewis on ITV3 as there’s nothing else on I fancied.

Up Links road, across the roundabout up Wallace road, across the Radford road into Coundon?

In The interchange, Bradford, today on the main concourse. When I was passed by a woman in tight trousers, too tight in fact. I attempted to let her know, but was told in very clear language, by her, that I should keep my thoughts to myself.

I did as instructed, and never told her that the back of them had split. Red stands out against white fairly well, which is why I think some signs are red and white for this reason.
I left her to wander on none the wiser, given abusive language was all she appeared to know.

Yes. What is now 'Coundon Wedge' was one of my favourite places to play as a child. (That was about 20 years before they built Coundon Wedge Drive.)

Yes. Before they built the road it was a favourite Sunday walk from Allesley across the wedge and home through Coundon, I also took the kids up there on their bikes, happy days.

Wind is blowing a gale over here too all night , decided against very early outing so its a quick brew n toast and back into the fleapit for another snooze Stay Safe Folks

Even if the messages were from Microsoft (and, like you, I doubt it), it probably wouldn't be wise to do what they said

the less Microsoft and anyone else knows about you the better , its hard to stop the buggers constantly snooping
