The Retirement Thread

You forgot the dodgy shock absorbers 🤣

I didn't want to mention them, or the steering.

Yes, but are you going to stroll home afterwards, or will you stagger home?

Ahhh them were the days.
Since this Covid sh*t I struggle to force a pint down now.

My son was complaining about all the tourists on the roads yesterday. Lots of tourists go up and down the road where all the fighter jets fly. He said so many drivers had their phones out of the windows trying to get photos of them and swerving all over the road as a result. No wonder there has been an increase in accidents over the last week or so. Such stupid people

We "found" a Chinese chippy. Yesterday we had sweet n sour chicken.... half rice/half chips........as nice as we have ever tasted and so generous with it.

There needs to be a serious clamp down on drivers using mobiles and fiddling with touchscreens, etc in their cars. Every time I'm out on the bike now I keep wondering if the car coming up behind me has seen me or is fiddling with their phones or something. I'm finding I'm getting more and more nervous.

The police know they are there and know what they are doing. They should be patrolling up and down the mountain road to stop them. They are a menace.

It's going to be 🔥

32.1c and rising

Met Office is saying a max of 28 for us. That's more than enough for me!

We get them here driving along the coast road from Braunton to Croyde. Had several near miss incidents along there.

Good afternoon all,
A busy morning doing stuff, now meeting up with a group of friends for lunch in Tewin, near to Welwyn garden city.

 

[Mo1959]

Beans on toast for lunch. I have just been faffing about in case the garage phone to say the car is ready. Not that I need it, but they are always busy and it gets it out of their way. I can hear the bin lorry further along the street. They invariably get to me around 12.30.

Not sure what to be up to this afternoon. I might just hide from the heat, although there’s a bit of a breeze now so might not be too hot out.

 

[numbnuts]

I had half of one of my chicken and stuffing pies with a ginger ale, may have the other half later on.
35.5c here now and the trains have stopped running from Southampton to Portsmouth due the the heat

 

[welsh dragon]

Not too bad in my house at the moment. 21.6 deg. I have all the windows, doors and curtains closed to keep the sun and heat out. Pizza for us today.
