The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

I WISH TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT!!

I had to apply for a new passport - actually we both did - as the old one expires in May

Anyway - the new one arrived to today


NATURALLY I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new passport in its proper Blue colour and not the EU mandated (!!) red/purple atrocity

WELL!!!

It is just not right

basically it is a travesity

I clearly remember the old ones (hence posting on this thread) and I remember the colour

AND THIS IS NOT IT

not a proper adrk blue - as is correct - but pretty much black - in some lights there is almost a redish tinge


This is NOT what we all voted for
do they not realise this was by far the major reasons for 'the vote'

and now I have a black passport



HURUMPH!!!

anyone got an email address for that nice bloke who led the Leave campaign
Nigel somethingorotther I think it was?????



(NOTE - post may include sarcasm and irony and downright lies for humorous effect
lets not get all NACA and post anything political)
(Note 2 - above use of the word "humorous" in the above sentence may be open to discussion!)

Dear Mr E.

How dare you complain (even in a humorous way) according to you, about the colour of the new passports not being tickety boo in your opinion.

Count yourself lucky that you have a passport at all, as there are some of the more senior members of this club who have the propensity to lose their's at the drop of a hat.

You can of course complain to management, however I must warn you that in all honesty, said management will take the mick out of you and might even suggest heaven forbid that you may be somewhat colour blind and that it's taken however many decades for you to realise that fact.

Yours sincerely
Anonymous.

I don’t have a passport

I think the rain is maybe finally easing a bit so hopefully I’ll at least manage a walk this afternoon. I am now the heaviest I have been in years and it’s making me seriously miserable, so of course I comfort eat! It’s getting seriously out of hand.

Ha
not much - I think they suspect!

Worth confirming their suspicions?

I also wish to concur with our learned fiend about said colour of the "new " leaving and entry document provided by our erstwhile leaders at Whitehall.
It is a shabby facsimile of the old and ancient document of days past.

Nor do I.

Mine ran out and left me behind.
I have curry pies

that just got me thinking. Mum had one as she went abroad a couple of times with my brother. I don’t remember coming across it after she died, or I did and just can’t remember.

Same here, I usually end up on my back trying to get my shoes and socks on, doing the yoga class every week helps but not a lot, some of the people in the class are amazingly flexible, and they're not youngsters either.

I can still do that palms flat on the floor legs straight bending over thing so I guess I am still pretty flexible.

I have said, for many a year, that I will know when I am old when I can no longer put my socks on standing up and without any support.

Saying that, oh to be young again!

Once travelled to Ireland with three passports, and not one of them mine.

I have 2 and both are mine

One for you, and one for your alter ego?

With St Paddy's day coming up I had to share this with you:
Paddy's pregnant sister was in a terrible car accident and went into a deep coma.
After nearly six months, she woke up and saw that she was no longer pregnant.
Frantically she asked the doctor about her baby.
The doctor replied, "You had twins, a boy and a girl. The babies are
fine. However they were sickly at birth and had to be christened
immediately, so your brother Paddy came in and named them."
The woman thought to herself, "Oh suffering Jesus, no, not me brother.
He's a clueless idiot.” Expecting the worst, she asked the doctor, "Well, what's my daughter's name?"
"Denise," said the doctor.
The new mother was somewhat relieved and thought to herself, 'Wow,
that's a really beautiful name. I guess I was wrong about my brother,
I really like Denise.'
Then she asked, "What's the boy's name?"
The doctor replied, "Denephew."
