The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Cheese and tuna mayo chiabatta at the garden centre, washed down with a bottle of oasis and followed up with a nice coffee. Bought Geddy and Bruce a dog lunch each.

Garden centre for lunch. Bruce and Geddy will be happy about that.

What, a whole one!!

According to Google Maps you are in Siverwood Stables!!

That explains the smell.

oh well, it’s better than the sausage factory

I’d have stayed in to gently correct and take the mick….my view being that if sane and sensible people do nothing, we will end up with trump-lite over here too 😳
I’m actually on Truth Social. Drop in perhaps once a week to let off steam at the mango Mussolini, then leave. Obvs has no real impact, but makes me feel I am doing something good 🤣

ACtually some of the people on there seen like the sort you don;t want to run across on a dark night

and the "person" that runs it seems to be just the type to encourage them

and if someone looks carefully they could find out that I used to teach in a local school - and he seems to have a "thing" about teachers

and from there it might be possible that someone could find me or maybe someone's kid would recognise me walking down the HIgh Street

his tone was really that bad

nothing I could report to the Police - but enough that I just thought it was not worth the risk of popping back to annoy them more - just in case

My broadband - computer 2mbps
moblle phone and tablet - 150mbps (but should be 516mbps)
so has to be the network card fault, but task manger states - it is working on both wifi and ethernet cable ?

Got out for a spin, only 27miles but was dry and a hint of blue sky as well. If I can ride outside at least once a week this time of year that's good enough for me. That and a couple of turbo sessions keeps the legs turning.

Looks good. However, if you dont want people like Drago peeping in some net curtains would be handy

Awoken from a pleasant labrador cuddly snooze to an email informing me that I scored 93% on my latest assignment.

Almost finished, just need to touch it in tomorrow and put everything back

So you ignored my advice then.
Just think how many you could have sold if you had only listened.

Afternoon all
Just back from sailing . The result was ok ( 6 th out of 13. ) and the wine and company was good as always. But everything else conspired to give me a real humour bypass.
1) the committee member on duty ( they are in overall charge ) is a really nice man but not proactive in any way . So if I hadn’t stepped in to help on the pontoon half the fleet would have been late to their start.
2) The course that was set by the race officer was poor as it keep sending us to parts of the reservoir where there was no wind.
3) The committee member was equally poor at organising the pontoon to get us off the water efficiently which meant I ended up being head into wind and being equally incompetent by reversing onto bank. Twice . 😂😀

I must be in a reasonable state of mind at the moment as i managed to keep my opinions on the situation to myself .😂
