The Retirement Thread

Ha, ha. I actually call him Mr Teeth when he comes on.

There are a lot of cosmetic dentists popping up around here.
The latest divisor between the haves and have nots is perfect white teeth.
Guess we are just following the example set by the land of the free and home of the brave.

Just replaced the chain on my ebike. It took a while to figure out how to thread the chain through the derailleur as I am used to a straight line on my Rohloff equipped Thorn Tandem and Mercury. Should have taken a photo before I started!

It's quite a thing round here. I know a few younger people who travelled to Turkey to have the work done. A huge risk in my view.

The teeth stand out like LED lights compared with halogen!

Good morning all.
'Tis raining yet again.
I sat up late, determined to have a lie in. Dropped off no problem and woke at 3 .
The co-op have a decent meal deal on.......
2 x starters 2 x mains including a choice of spuds and veg, a dessert AND a bottle of fizz..... 12 quid. They dont cater for singles** so if it won't freeze then I will have the same again tomorrow.
** talking of being single I suddenly realised a benefit (for males)......I can leave the toilet seat up. Its taken the best part of 3 years to realise that

Just think of the hours you've wasted in the last three years lowering and raising it. 🤣

I'm a lowered sort of chap. Looks much tidier. 🙂

I’m always worried the cat might manage to drown herself so it’s always lowered. 🐱


Morning. We have minus 1 but finally a dry day to come……and tomorrow. Don’t know how we’ll cope with 2 dry days in a row!

Ahh, you're referring to what i call the seat cover. I refer to the actual seat. I have been liberated

I am developing a system.
Going to bed i leave the seat up. During the day it's down.
I wonder if I can get a remote controlled one

Good morning. Wet, sleet, cold.

It's a treatment day for Mrs P meaning I will be busy around town running errands and an Aldi dash. Later this afternoon it's my PT session which this week includes a weigh in. I'm not expecting a positive outcome.

I should think about tonight's tea but I'm lacking inspiration. Suggestions on a postcard to.......

On the other hand today's crosswording with the Guardian was inspired. All right bar two that I couldn't see for the life of me.

Time for some u3a admin.......

Would this remote control have a sensor triggered in some way I have yet to imagine.........though I am having some rather unfortunate thoughts........

In our house the male is expected to leave the seat down so that it's ready for the arrival of the female.........who apparently is too idle to lower it...........in days gone by I have been told off about this! 😲🤣

FYI It takes exactly the same time for our soft-close toilet seat to close as it does for the cistern to re-fill after flushing..

I knew nothing other than the name. I've done a bit of reading and yes it's been on the increase but is now on par with 2023. It's highly contagious, airborne spread so you can imagine how easily it spreads in a nursery.

After 24 hous on antibiotics the child is no longer infectious.

I remember being bedridden and quite poorly with " Yellow Jaundice " when I was a child. Might be a relative of Scarlet...
