The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I get irritated and angry really quickly too. I keep telling myself to chill but it doesn’t work.

You're like me. I try to bite my lip and keep it reined in because a 6'4" 20 stone man fronting people might one day provoke a panicked fear response from some nutter and I dont want a knife in the ribs.

The flip side of that is that people tend to be a lot more respectful in thenfirst place, because bullies are usually cowards and for the most part wont try it on with someone higher up the food chain.

In ebikers scenario id have probably just replied, "f*** off, c***," on the basis you cant fix dumb so why even try?

I’ve never been keen on blue for house interiors. Feels cold to me. I’d happily have magnolia everywhere. Nice and neutral with a bit of warmth and goes with everything else.

Most of our house is plain in F&B Pointing, a slightly off white, so nice to just have a bit of colour in the downstairs loo.

Pn a whim, some weeks ago, I bought a can of mince and onions from Aldi.
Just opened it to have with sautèd potatoes and peas.
To say it looks like cat food is not an exaggeration, im not sure even a cat would be happy with it.
I will give it a try as I hate throwing food away.

Right......nosh update.
Once heated (microwave) the minced beef looked a lot nicer and actually tasted good. With the sautèd potatoes plus peas n sweetcorn it was a very enjoyable meal.

I was a teacher for a long time

you get used to not being able to express the true status of people who richly deserve it

or to put it more specifically - you are not allowed to call a pupil a lazy ignorant **** just because they are

which is why inspection people (OFSTED and all that) and never allowed in staff rooms!!!
