The Retirement Thread

Is it morning yet ??
TBH I feel hung over. Don't think I can be as I don't think I drank too much at the Irish club* but I do feel like it.
*the act was a woman who did an hour as Cher, a break then an hour as Pink. She was very good.

I think that is compulsory at an Irish club??

Only the furry ones.

remind me of a story

When my daughter was at Primary school there was a school trip
Parents were asked if they could go along as helpers, especially for the "lower ability" and SEN kids

The trip was to a local "museum of Childhood" where there were lots of toys and stuff that kids had in the old days
i.e. 1950's 60s 70s etc

anyway - they were all going round looking at the toys and they came to an exhibit of Police outfits from the 1960s
STandard cheap helmet, armband, whisstle and handcuffs

One of the kids - in the group with the volunteer parents was looking at it and commented
"My Mum has some of those only hers are pink a furry and she keeps them in the drawer next to her bed"

In a nice clear loud voice - as kids do

apparently the volunteer parents were not much use to the group for several minutes after!!

I found out when I picked my daughter up from school that afternoon and was asking what some of the other parents - all Mums - were doing as they were looking suspicious
They were trying to be subtle while looking for the kid who had made the comment and see who his Mum was!!!!
and trying not to giggle at the same time

anyway - as you were - end of story

My wife used furry handcuffs on me once.
One week later she undid them for me 🙂

Linksys are usually good stuff. My BT one doesn't have an antenna either and I've been happy enough with it. I have had absolutely no problems with BT regarding reliability and never suffer from any buffering when streaming even in HD, but they are just getting so damned expensive. I am wary of going elsewhere though and many locals seem to use Sky or Talktalk and constantly seem to be mentioning it going down or having problems with it. Not sure why it should mind you as it all just comes over the same wiring.

My contract is up in December and even with BT's not very generous fiver off if I renew, it will be £65! Sky, etc are around £26. Huge saving and, yes I know they will also shoot up once the contract is up too but at least it would give me a couple of years savings.

I have been with TalkTalk since they first started up, must be 20+ years. I have heard/read various horror stories, but, in 20+ years, we have had only one problem (I hope that hasn’t just put ther mokkers on it!). The do suffer from the usual disease of trying to hike the price each renewal. I threaten to leave, and, they miraculously find a “discount” I am due. Daughter no4 is with sky, same experience with price hikes, otherwise, ok.

Good day everyone.
This morning I cycled up to the clinic for my covid jab, then went to the local shops for a few bits and pieces.

New raised beds installed and all manured up ready for next season. Onions and garlic going in next week.
Been a busy boy this morning!
