The Retirement Thread

Saw this in Tesco

so 50p each for a small tin of beans

or the special offer of a pack of 3 for £2

I wonder how many of the packs of 3 they have sold???

The cats are indoors and not looking very happy.

Back up and running again, no leaks.
Will be a lot better when my new carburettor arrives next week.

That's a cracking little bike you have there.

All good at the moment, thanks for asking.

Bloodstream is clear of cancerous cells and this chemo' cycle (and the next) is to clear up any that might be lurking in the bone marrow.

Hospital feedback is that progress thus far is amazingly good - we are hoping it stays that way.

Mine was a Starfire bought for £200 in 1975 registration VDG 41J the tank was a lovely metallic dark blue and it had the large twin leading shoe front brake that the 650 Triumph of the same era had so it was grossly over-braked. It was a nice bike to ride and very comfortable although it did suffer from lose valve guides which was a problem with those B25 engines. Mine had a bellmouth on the carb in place of the air cleaner and one day we had a terrific thunderstorm , when I went to ride home from school the engine was full of water, I got it going with a borrowed spark plug from the metalwork master, a Champion N5 - he had plenty of spares for his oil burning A35!

Found an old photo - taken after the bellmouth was ditched and replaced with an airfilter! My mates Matchless 350 in the background.

It's all kicking off in London today, I would love to go, but knowing my luck I would get arrested.
I'm sure it will be shown on youtube and all over the media tomorrow.
It's not wrong to be right.

Just watched this on the news, I think it's good this is happening in London 500 miles away from me.

Nutters been stirred up by opposing nutters, while the decent moderate folk in the middle get increasingly nervous.

I want to move back home to Scotland. Mrs D is a bit lukewarm about that, but she's entitled to Irish citizenship and has talked about relocating there. Im beginning to see the appeal.

Spokey.
Once again showing my ignorance, why do you have to go in for 8 days as against being a day patient ??

So when are you going to be independent ?
and how would you get on without monetary help from England ?

 

[Baldy]

Well it was meant as a flippant comment. Not trying to get political.
