The Retirement Thread

Beer. And lots of it.

Afraid those days have gone, Doctors orders.

One of each? 🤔

To like or dislike? I do like stinky cheese but MrsPete gives me one of her 'looks' if the fridge starts ponging if it 😂

One of my favourites is St Agur but it doesn't seem to be sold in small portions.

If you still fancy a beer but must go non alcohol I can recommend Guiness Zero. Really nice and closest to a "real" beer I've tried.

I find it better to avoid the non alcoholic substitutes. No matter How good some may taste theyre somehow not right.

I very rarely treat myself to a shandy (the beverage, not a J Arthur) but otherwise steer clear of the zero drinks.

~I've stopped liking cheese ~

I started a thread about that 😂
BTW I like it again now 👍

traitor!!!

I've not had an alcoholic drink for over 4 years.. Non- Alcoholic drinks don't interest me, either.

Stopped motorcycling two weeks ago and not really missing it. I was idling along in traffic and realized I couldn’t see over the hood of the huge pick up trucks on either side of me. With a car close behind I figured I was sitting in a steel box, invisible to the world. This is the latest of many unpleasant experiences in modern Canadian city traffic that has taken the fun out of motorcycles for me. I came home from that ride and put both bikes up for sale. After 47 years and 400,000km it’s best to know when to quit.

I’ve spent the money on… more bicycles! ( we have lots of bicycle trails )

life suddenly seems less complicated.

When I go out to a pub (which is not very often) I have a tonic water or a small orange juice

Riverside trail walked now that it’s dry and sunny.

I see Evri are coming this afternoon. I like my hair really short, especially in this weather and like the clipper cut the hairdresser gave me so I’ve bought a set and going to have a go myself! If you suddenly see me wearing a hat you will know why. I’ve watched lots of YouTube videos and it doesn’t look that difficult.

Fair enough. I have to say though I do enjoy a drink, a few beers and several glasses of vino collapso really hit the spot at times.
Is it healthy? No but it's rather nice and I kid myself that all the cycling and other exercise I do offsets it.

We had fish today. Battered cod, calamari, battered prawns, beetroot and peas.

I was up at the Co-op on my way back from my walk and treated myself to one of their fancy sandwiches. Aberdeen Angus beef and caramelised onion. Very tasty but at £4.75 just buy them occasionally.

Cancelled my OU course. Hours of work on the application wasted. Can't face the thought of it with all this sheet going on in my life.

That's probably the last opportunity I'll ever have to do something like that and it's gone.

That's a pity but they are a big commitment to time and effort. You really have to give up everything else in your life.

Guinness Zero?

ITS LOVELY !! I drink it all the time now . I buy it in bulk and it works out at 1.35 Euro per can . I prefer it now to the real Guinness I drank all my life . I buy it in 24 can boxes and always have 1 or 2 in the fridge. I pop it into the freezer 5 mins before I drink it.
