The Retirement Thread

[SpokeyDokey]

That's why I threw the display unit in a cupboard after a few weeks.

Ours is useless. Installed but cannot receive a signal.

British Gas told me I can have a smart gas meter. Great!

So I apply online, only to be informed I cannot have one from reasons not stated.

My response was not suitable for a family friendly forum.

Don't worry about the numbers they don't actually mean anything. If the blue light turns red you're drawing a bit of power. As if you need a light to tell you that. I finally got my meter fixed a few weeks back after about six years of asking. So, now it's at least speaking to the interweb, that's progress for you.

Good morning,

Saw this advertised over the weekend,
https://www.johnniewalker.com/en-gb/our-whisky/core-range/johnnie-walker-black-ruby

Johnnie Walker Black Ruby is the sweetest expression of Black Label to date - a fruit-forward, refined twist crafted by Johnnie Walker Master Blender, Emma Walker. Sweet raspberry and blackberry notes make this whisky an unforgettable experience. Perfect for cocktails. (my italics)
Sounds very Jilly Golden

Pricey for a blend at £25 from Asda, it is a full 40% a.b.v. so not mixed with fruit juice.

................... and it is still unopened after 2 hours,

Bye

Swimming done, I'm now in the Railway Bell with a pint of Titanic Plum Porter, well, the remaining half.

It is crap but we always try and crack on and just do what we normally do, if we let a bit of rain stop play we wouldn’t get anything done. I went out on my motorbike, and even with a downpour it was enjoyable, came back and Mrs Gunk and I cleared all the leaves in the garden, they’re always easier to pick up when they’re wet.

I'm running 8 miles a day Mon to Sat inclusive

Very partial to their Plum Porter. The Cherry Porter is pretty good too

I went to ASDA to get a bottle but was told that price is only online ie home delivery.
Is that right ?

You'll be close on 50 miles come Saturday. Will you be taking a rest on Sunday then turning round?

I was just going to reply to this to say that it was actually dry here, then I looked out the window. It's just started p**sing down again. At least I got a morning walk in.
