The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

From today......

I passed my NHS poo test - one less thing to worry about

Does that mean you no longer need L plates

Now I am not a violent man. It's a beautiful spring evening. I'm sitting on my allotment with G&T, the birds are singing, there is a gentle breeze, no one about though I can hear the click of leather on willow from the club. Idyllic and I'm very fortunate.

Our neighbour of three doors down does not understand village life or consideration for others. He has started cutting his feckin' grass. At six o'clock on a Friday evening!!!!!!

Myself and a friend, a fellow neighbour, did once challenge this behaviour.........on the summer day he was using a stone cutter and the breeze was towards are cottages. His reply?

"At least I take a pride in my property"

Gobsmacked doesn't even begin to cover it..........but is now a standing joke!

Happens here too. Home all day and then suddenly they erupt in the evening.

Chainsaws too. Grrrr.

What a fall from grace for Boris Becker. Presume it will be an open prison as he is hardly a threat to society.

What a mess he has created for himself. 2nd time as well. 20 years back in Germany, similar offences.
He will probably get an easyish time in a low grade prison.
Half his sentence will be out on licence.

Don’t really see the problem. If it was six in the morning it would be another matter .😀😀

I. Know it can be annoying But if he is working full time evenings are perhaps the only chance to mow his lawn etc

Sure. You can join all the other nutters

 

[Chief Broom]

If I am not mistaken, you did make reference to previous occupier having spiked strips on fence, now, you know why

Well spotted! It is annoying but putting spikes on fences is bit OTT and not something i would do...i chase/shoo any i see and there arent that many in the neighbourhood. Some days though every critter and bird seems to be aving a go and winding me up...I even got dumped on by a seagull tuther day

I take it that you have got to that time of your life.
Welcome aboard.

I was hoping that at 5pm tonight I’d left all the nutters behind!

Walked to Poole, curtains and curtain pole successfully acquired. On our way we saw a fishing boat going round in circles with one guy chucking the anchor behind presumably to churn up the sea bed for whatever they were aining to catch.

They are nutters in the nicest way.
