The Retirement Thread

[AlBaker]

Popped in to Waitrose in Wimborne to get a few things. Spotted some 100g bars of Lindt dark chocolate that had been reduced from over 3 quid to 88p. Put 3 bars in my basket and left the rest for others. When I got home I noticed that the Best Before date was August 2026. They'll be ideal for decadent drinking chocolate.

So they're good until August, this year. 2026.

Crikey, this is bringing back some teenage memories...

To me they are the same but I think it differs depending where you come from.
Can't get too verbally graphic but errhh it means you were moderately successful. Enough to boast to your mates.

What does "tapped off" mean?

"Copped off" used to mean shagged where I came from in my teens.

Sorry to lower the tone!

The general term in my area, was "scored" 😊

Ahh! the memories 😂

My corned beef hash was a real success. Grandson ate 2 portions and has snaffled another 2 for his lunch tomorrow.
I think Welshie will agree, much of my pleasure came from watching him enjoy it.

I arrived on the scene when girls wore stockings and sussies. There was the "giggle band"......if you got that far you were laughing.
So I'm told anyway, I was a good.boy

Yes. It looks like we will have apocalyptic snowfall of 2 feet at least.

We've already had it..

I just read that women who sleep longer hours reduce stress, heart problems and generally improve the quality of life........
........ ...
In men.

Aren't all hours the same length?

 

[Dave7]

Aren't all hours the same length?

Not at all. When I get up for a pee at eg 0600 and fall asleep for one hour.....it seems like two hours.

 

[Drago]

I get up at 0400hrs to splash my feet and arise at 0600hrs and it seems like 10 minutes!
