The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

I don't know about merry, more like the 7 dwarves ( can we still say that word) itchy, bitchy, sarky, angry...... Well you get the point

I think the original Grumpy and Sleepy will still be in there!!!

Happy birthday Dave. Going out for a meal or a quiet one at home ?

I am always astonished that more householders don't clear the pavement outside, making it easier for people to walk on.

Public liability issues.
I was once told, by a bod at our local council, that if we cleared the snow outside our place we would be accepting liability for anyone who slipped on the resulting ice should it freeze again.
Never touched snow on pavements after that - after all, you can't sue nature.

Back from my Willy walk As usual I was warm enough going up but got a bit chilled on the way back down. Pretty good underfoot though thankfully.

Happy Birthday Dave

The roads are still impassable here. They are like glass. I can't even get my car out of the garage let alone up the drive abd onto the road. No gritters for us.

Yes, heard this one several times. The most recent occasion was last night, when we went to a carol service at the church mrs @BoldonLad attends. I googled it. Apparently, it is untrue.

That gives me a lot of scope.

I'm not so sure that that is true. It's a bit like the stories that went around years back about attempting CPR/kiss of life, you could be sued if the person died whilst you were doing whatever you were doing.
On the various 1st aid courses I've been on, it was always debunked as an urban myth.

I saw an interview with a person who was quite happy with the terms Dwarves and Dwarfism He said it is far better than some names he has been called describing his physique. Apparently that community find that terminology quite acceptable.So you should be ok
