The Retirement Thread

[gavroche]

Goretex and similar materials rely on the sweat evaporating through the pores of the material which are large enough to let through water vapour but too small for the water droplets to penetrate. Once the surface of the material gets soaked then the sweat cant evaporate. This also applies if you exercise really hard and the amount of sweat produced is too much for the material to process. To be really waterproof I'd recomment a bright yellow Sowester with matching hat 😉

Skin is 100% guaranteed water proof.

Nothing on the PBs for us this month.

Nothing for me either, then again I did cash them in last month, just before they announced the new uplift in prizes . Oh well, it's in an ISA now with a decent fixed rate so at least I'm guaranteed some "winnings".

I am guessing here, but as interest rates have risen, I suspect many, like yourself have withdrawn from premium bonds and invested elsewhere.
This would account for the extra winnings this month, plus they upped the amount of prizes last month.

Right, so you're saying that me pulling out has made people on here win more. Okay, I'll put my account details on here and everyone can chip in from their extra winnings I've made them.

Would people removing their bonds not mean less money for prizes though?

Dear God.i find it hard to believe that someone could do that to fellow human being.

And I daresay the courts won't give a sentence that is fitting. What a horrible excuse for a human being.

I’ve become a lot more nervous on the roads than I used to be and reading stuff like this doesn’t help. At least walking or running you are facing oncoming traffic and can jump onto the verge if you have to.

It is because of ba***ds like this that I prefer animals to people.

From my Facebook page this afternoon.

Popped out for a half hour stroll for some air. Much chillier now and more rain to come tonight and tomorrow.

Going to watch an old Dalziel and Pascoe on the Drama channel now. They’re quite good.

When our friend came round this morning I left the ladies to have a gossip and drove over to Hoar Park, I spotted this floor lamp in their Antique shop.
