The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

If you don't have a mortgage or rent to pay, you will find that you don't need as much money to live on.

And when you own the roof over your head you answer to no man (or woman.)

If you pay rent your a sucker

The rain has stopped, the wind has died down and the sun is shining. We have missed the worst of the bad weather

 

[Baldy]

The rain has mostly stopped, just the odd shower. The wind is still howling.

I might have let it slip, maybe a million times but I hate computers (almost as much as ebiker hates cheese).
I have just renewed my home insurance via a comparison website.
The 2nd best was with AA so I went with that......so clicked to proceed.
Went through more forms, this time from AA and had to pick secure password (to go with the other 1000's I have.
They then texted me another password so I could actually pay .
Part way through I was EMAILED yet another password to enable payment and wallah! Success.
Back in the ions of time I would walk (on legs) to the local broker, give them the car details and within 5 minutes I was insured.

BTW, have I told you that I hate computers ?

Will it stay up?

Will it stay up?

More to the point, will that dodgy looking hot dog stay down

Just heard that our daughters chap went for a run earlier ( in Edinburgh ) and had to get the bus back as when he turned homewards the wind was too severe for hime to make any headway 😮

With the new hot water system we've gone from a pretty feeble showering experience fed from a header tank in the loft, to a powerful pressurised tank system. Thought it would make sense to treat myself to a new shower head. Goodness me, where to start, took a quick look at Amazon and the number of word salad type brand names far far outweighs the familiar brands. 🤔
Any recommendations from the gang?

Did he try drafting the bus?

Well we had a small shower, but the winds didn't materialise.
I've just watched a film - 9/11 The untold story

Heavy squall here. We're on a hill and copping it good at the moment.

 

[BoldonLad]

No, we don't need it. The sooner it blows on south the better.

I would second that, if it could just move west after Berwick, then, after it has reached the beginning of the South (Teeside), it can do as it wishes 😂

NHS dental charges.

<10 minutes for check up and a tiny corner filling @ £75.30

Not had a filling for a long time, didn't realise how much they cost.
