The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Weetabix are a claggy, soggy & icky after the milk has soaked in... I accidentally had a couple of MrsPete's once as we'd run out of proper cereals and I didn't fancy porridge.
I though they'd gone bad or that the milk had soured.
Turned out they were banana flavoured... Who in the great Trump of things would make Banana Weetabix I ask you!! 🤮

I actually liked them but the Co-op stopped stocking it. They only have plain or chocolate now. I don’t see the point of eating a reasonably healthy breakfast cereal with chocolate. Kind of defeats the purpose. You would be as well with Cocopops.

Stay safe peeps

Good Morning. Another day is dawning, on a sunny Lancashire morning......................go on hum it! Is this is a conspiracy??? Several posters are trying to turn me away from my Weetabix with stories of excessive consumption, butter, claggyness and banana flavoured. Banana flavoured????? Geez. That's right up there with the Strawberry and Cream flavoured hot cross buns I encountered earlier this year.

I have nothing pressing today but I do have a bike that needs exercising. What with one thing and another she's been shut in for a couple of weeks. Thursday and Friday look like good possibilities as well. Mrs P is out this afternoon which means I'm cooking tonight. I'm going to rummage around in the freezer and prepare something before I go riding.

Off for a wander. It’s quite fresh just now so I think I’ll need a jacket. I can always take it off after a couple of miles if I warm up.

@PaulSB I, too, encountered some diabolically flavoured Hot Cross Buns!! I can't remember what they were; my mind has deleted the very thought of them, but they were vile!!
I always triple check the label now!

 

[Mike Ayling]

Well done. I’ve squeezed 4 into the bowl but haven’t managed 5 yet. They aren’t very filling anyway. I don’t know how you are supposed to survive on just 2!

Another Aussie invention called Weetbix here. Apparently the inventors sold the rights in Oz so called the UK version Weetabix when they moved there.

Good morning all.
It's raining.
I quite like weetabix, normally I have three with some berries. I do prefer Sainsbury's own brand, wheat biscuits, though to the main brand.

Good morning all.
Do I need to offer my resignation from this section......just 1 weetabix does me. It WAS 2 before I lost my appetite, honest.
Supposed to be a sunny day but weirdly an hour of rain at 08.00.
@PaulSB can I ask, when you had the camera down yer gob were you sedated?

 

[Drago]

Might be nipping out on a visit later.

Wimp!

My investigation, colonoscopy, was from the opposite end!!! I chose to have Entonox, gas and air, which once I got the hang of worked very well. Long slow deep breaths were good, gasping was not, by deep breathing I relaxed to the point I didn't need it.

If you're procedure is down the throat I can't see you being able to use Entonox. I've had tubes inserted down the throat. I would chose sedation next time.

Just fruit for breakfast for me, and a mug of tea. Nice and sunny this morning here in Clackmannanshire. Planning on a ride later.

I had it down the throat some years ago. The stupid nurse said I won't need sedation when what she really meant was she couldn't be arsed......worst experience of my life.
For this one the Doc has advised me to have "double sedation" whatever that is.

 

[Drago]

Coffee and oaty bar time, then tidy up, then music practice.

Morning folks the old buzzard keeps buzzing me even as his/hers chicks are up and flying, think it enjoys it so much its going to carry on all year! Had quite a spending spree lately having sold the ebike...apart from luggage/rack/saddle got myself a nice new hummvee waterproof jacket, never know i might start to look like a real cyclist

 

[Dirk]

Morning all

Off to Minehead for shopping this morning.
Last week of the Flying Scotsman on the WSR starts today.
Must say it's been a bit of a disappointment - very quiet on the chuffing and whistling. I was expecting a bit of a fire breathing monster.
