The Retirement Thread

Good morning Mr Numbnuts and all others.
Woke and was up at 0530. Listening to SoTS with our Tony.
A deliberate chill day today, hopefully some decent sport on tv.

A question for you.
For a Coooooeeeee to be correct does it matter how many 'O's or 'E's it has ???

It all depends on the intended length of the cooooooooooeeeeeeee.

Good morning. Bright and sunny.....that's the weather. Fully rested, recharged and full gas.....that's the small person. Nackered and hiding behind the sofa.......that's the old man. 🤣

Wonderful day yesterday with the small person at Bridgwater Gardens. I can't believe the energy, we thought she was certain to crash halfway through the day but no. So home, tea, bath, bed and slept for 11 hours......small person that is, apart from waking at 1.00am and wanting Gandan to cuddle in her bed.

Gandan has been awake since 4.00......😭

As a young man I remember listening to Frank Ifield who made a few Bob banging out the germanic equivalent of " coooeeee " . Once the novelty wore off and people stopped buying his recordings he left the industry to set up a similarly themed parcel delivery company.

Salut. We changed our estate agent yesterday and the photographer is coming on Monday morning so should have a busy day today and probably won't have the time to go for a ride. Angel Bay for Molly shortly then cut the front lawn and off to Anglesey this afternoon to give one of my grandsons a driving lesson ( although I retired from being a driving instructor 8 years ago so I may be a bit rusty now).
Nice and sunny so far so hope it will still be by tomorrow.

Good morning all.
A bit overcast outside at the moment. Some rain is forecast for later.
I'll be out with the dog shortly, and then I am going to cycle over to Boreham Wood, it's only 5 miles away, but there is possibly an interesting train passing through the station at a 10.15 so I'll have a look to see what it is.
Might go out for lunch after I get back.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning all.
Just about to get up so I can lock the garden gate after mrs exlaser and our daughter go out on a club ride . It should make be feel guilty about not riding this year, but it hasn’t.
I must shake myself out of this slump that’s lasted about a year now . It’s the longest I’ve not ridden since I learnt to ride aged 4 . ☹️

As a aside I was just wondering, what age did you all learn to ride ? 😀😀
(I suppose for most people it’s in that 3 to 6 age range . )

I have belatedly risen!

Indeed, I was 6, my mum and dad bought me a second hand bike for my birthday, it came from the local toy and bike shop. They met me from school with it. By the time I got home I could ride.
