The Retirement Thread

How many pairs of jeans is that? 😂

I read Welshies post and thought I'd best scroll down to see if someone had already made the comment I was about to post...

Spectacles collected and adjusted, very similar frames but single vision and no " Reactolite " type darkening so shoud be better for running. Daughter messaged me to say that she had managed to get a couple of tickets for tonights Man Uniteed / Bournemouth game. Although grandson is born and bred in Leeds he supports Bournemouth ( up the Cherries ). This brought to mind my visit to Old Trafford when my home side Birmingham City played them in the FA Cup. I remember being soundly beaten but had to look up the detail;s of the game. It was a Monday night in February, a replay as Blues had drawn at home. Attendance was 61,932. Blues took an early lead but that soon vanished. Denis Law got a hat trick and the final score was 6-2.
Here's the team that Man U fielded, one or two useful players there...

Why did it take you a minute? It wasn't hard.

As you say, what a team.
TBH I can't recall Steve James or John Fitzpatrick but the rest were excellent.
Went to OT as a Liverpool supporter and witnessed Best and Law putting on a show.

If you don’t receive it by next month you should get in touch. It should be paid in automatically by then if you are eligible.

Our printer has been playing up recently, the paper would only go so far in them jam, sometimes not load straight and get twisted and then the printer would show all sorts of faults.
Today I looked inside with a torch, and low and behold, deep down there was a piece of foliage, presumably from MrsP's art class stuff. I managed to retrieve it using a carving knife and a pair of forceps. It seems to be better now.

Takes me back to my time fixing computery stuff in schools

The things Art teachers try to photocopy and print with is the stuff of nightmares!!

almost as likely to break a printer as a PE teacher in a hurry!

I was watching a documentary on Prime last night about a Holyhead to Cardiff RUN !! That is a 253 miles run.
!! It took that person 77 hours 32 minutes to do it. Credit to him as the year before he had an operation for prostate cancer .
Some people never cease to amaze me.

I just had a leaflet telling me I can have sex at 80.
I'm pleased to hear that as I live at No 5 and No 80 is only a few hundred metres away.
