The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Anyway. Good afternoon. A beautiful day. Paul is nackered and going for a nap. He woke at 2.30 and is very sleepy.

I did that as a teenager.I was p*ssed and got the train from Liverpool to the Wirral. Woke up, pitch black, in the sidings at West Kirkby.
It was 4 in the morning and I faced a 4 mile walk home while bladdered.

Been there done that!

Did it several times after drinking in West Kirby Sailing Club

getting a taxi involved a long wait with no good reason to believe they would even turn up
so I started just walking home

turns out that the sign for the brick yards along the Meols strait is a great place to have a wee!!

also prevents a hangover after the long walk!

Spent most of the day "spring-cleaning" the conservatory. Mrs O decided to wash the cushion covers so now we need a new set of cushions and covers because the fabrics had all rotted in the UV. That was a more expensive day than expected. On the bright side, the Karcher Window vac was great for cleaning all the windows and the roof

I hope you have more success than I did. Replacements were so expensive I ended up buying new furniture.

Has anybody thought the Sistine Chapel might actually be on fire?

Robert Francis Prevost, the Chicago-born cardinal selected on Thursday as the new pope, is descended from Creole people of color from New Orleans

He is supposed to be a representative of god, so why doesn't God selects him himself instead of his servants?

He did…..through them.


Morning. I wasn’t sleeping and got up for the loo and have decided just to stay up. Cuppa and a browse then I’ll head out early for a walk. Might jog a bit if the legs feel up to it.

I thought Rastus was an African American name.

Good morning all.
A lovely start to the day weatherwise.
A nice chill day for me in store.
Listening to Tony Blackburn SoTS for the next 2 hours.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
A sunny start to the day here in Barnet, with temperatures due to get up to around 22⁰.
It's going to be a good day to be out in the garden.
Tony Blackburn is playing on the radio and the first mug of tea is being drunk
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning from yet another sunny day in Dorset. Had a great trip to Dorchester yesterday, a couple of locally brewed beers in Copper Street Brewery followed by lunch in the Blue Raddle. Mediterranean vegetable pie with peas, chips and gravy was followed by a plum crumble with custard. Fell asleep on the train back to Poole, fortunately my companions woke me so I didn't end up at Waterloo 😁

I was up bit earlier than usual, have a decent ride planned today with club so getting some food into me. Also one of the cats was helpfully sick in the bedroom at 06:45 so saved me waiting for the alarm. 🙄
