The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I thought so. Everything seems to irritate me these days!

No. I meant the person doing the thread, not you Mo.

Is it just me, or do these silly new threads with the mad titles annoy any one else? I just stick them straight on ignore.

At first they wound me up, then I started to put the thread on ignore without opening. That didn't solve things. Now I just put the OP on ignore, most of those joined on March 11th. Hmmmmm???

Then we have the poster who creates the longest thread title he can. Sad really. Ignored that thread this morning.

Old? Yes. Grumpy? Sometimes. 🤣 Especially when I can't do the crossword - like today!!! 😠

Edited!

Here's a little story. I'll get straight to the punchline. My cycling buddy's wife recently said of us:

"Oh, don't worry about them. They're just a bunch of nice old men who ride bikes!" 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, there are 2 or 3 of them now. As you say imo annoying.

Good morning all.
Weather a bit blah today with rain forecast later this morning.
Think I am off to the pub at lunchtime.
Not a lot more on. I did plan an Aldi dash but my get up and go has got up and gone. I will see what the next 2 hours does for me.
Oh yes.
My Bro and SiL brought me a prezzie. A box ox M&S ginger nuts, very nice.

Good morning all.
It has been raining since about 4.00am and is expected to continue for most of the day, which to my mind is good. My water butts will be replenished and the tomatoes and beans will get a good watering.
I've just renewed my senior railcard for three years, as long as it is used it is quite a good deal.
Today will be a domestics and tidying day.
Enjoy your day everyone ☕️

I have risen!

Raining here.

Morning all

Think I need a new carburettor on my Barracuda. Stripped it and cleaned it yesterday and it's only very slightly better - but still won't hold a steady tick over. I think there's an air leak caused by the throttle body distorting when it's tightened up.
Going out for a meal with our best mates tonight.

They irritate the hell out of me as well. Straight to the bin.

It's not just you 😑

Up since stupid o'clock due to a certain Cockerpoo sitting on my head...
Still, it gave me a chance for a bimble along the seafront before packing the car and heading home 🏡

Morning.
Bit damp this morning. Yet another trip to tip booked with hedge cuttings. I got a really enjoyable 31miles in yesterday afternoon, marred only by arm itching like buggery due to fly bites. Little sods.

I was fitted with a bridge in my twenties on my upper front teeth. What they don tell you is that it will eventually kill the teeth supporting the bridge. I now have implants supporting a bridge I think it cost about 3 or 4 grand but that was about twenty years ago. However having paid £200 plus for a filling recently I can imagine that they are going to charge that much for implants.
We might need to go back to the times when the brides farther had all her teeth removed before the wedding. 😱

I remember reading about people having all their teeth removed and dentures fitted. It must have been an expensive option back then, a bit like the current fad for bottom lifts, trout pouts and the rest. Mrs Tkk tells a tale of when she was nursing. At the time she was working on the elderly care ward at Poole Hospital. One of her patients on the ward must have had a boob job at some stage. She said it looked really incongruous to see a wrinkled older lady with pert breasts 😮
I did remark, tongue in cheek, to Mrs Tkk that having read about people travelling to Turkey for dental work, perhaps that was an option, and with the money saved there would be enough for a boob job. Her reaction? let's just say that the bruises are healing nicely 😁

I remember when the landlady of our local pub when asked about the whereabouts of her husband. She said he was in Turkey having his teeth fixed. When he reappeared a week or so later, his teeth looked no different. Apparently he’d actually been in custody having been arrested for grouping one of the female bar staff.😱

Had an email from our local Toby Carvery advertising that children accompanying adults can eat for £1 during the summer holidays. We visit occasionally with a friend. ( the veggie options are very good ). On our last visit there were a couple on an adjacent table who came back from the carvery with plates so heavily laden I wondered how anyone could eat that amount. When the waitress came with the bill and asked if everything was satisfactory, the man started complaining that there wasn't any crackling available, he really liked crackling which apparently Toby had in the past had it as part of the food available, and how not having crackling had spoiled his enjoyment of the meal. The waitress was really good, saying that she would pass his remarks to the management, a very diplomatic response, it must be a really difficult job dealing with some members of the public. I doubt if I would make the end of one shift 🤔
