The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

This is what our council classifies as food waste, seems quite comprehensive.

From that lot we might donate the occassional plate scraping, bones and fish skin. The rest goes on my compost heap.

Good morning. Dull, grey, misty and cold. I had planned a day of sunshine on the allotment. I feel dreadful after waking at 2.30am. I'm off for a nap shortly, then I'll go to the allotment.

I realised earlier today my sons are the last of the family line!!!! ☹️☹️ If they don't produce a son that's it, we will become extinct. No more PaulSBs. Not sure how I feel about that. The end of the family line. Who will pass on my jeans?

Normally the charity shop gets my JEANS,
unless my son has a son, wich is looking unlikely my Genes will end with him.😁
Our Daughter is expecting a baby in July, but the family name won't continue as she took her husband's name.

Personally when I stop using my jeans they are pretty much useless

My wife generally has to force me to chuck them out due to holes and teh like

I would just downgrade them to gardening/DIY and "cycling in muddy weather" and never chuck them out!!


Genes is a different matter - I have no sons, so my name dies with me
Well - quite a common name so that will continue
In fact mu wife's sister married a bloke with the same surname
But GODS I hope we are not related!!!


Genes are OK - I have a daughter so that's her problem now!

My surname is not common being Smith.
My Dad had 7 brothers so there will be relatives out there somewhere but due to his religious conversion he/we had no contact with most of them. I knew 1 uncle but he died childless.
My son has a son somewhere but that marriage was a disaster and he lost contact 20+years ago.
So, it looks like the world will miss out on any genius from my loins.

Good morning all. A cold and misty start to the day. Set to be similar but slightly warmer through the day.
Our broadband is down... Virgin say it will be down until 4pm. A shame as the Arsenal v City cup final is on tv (but not around here).
I will have a coffee, wake up and go for a stroll.......I will have another play on the mobility scooter when things warm up.

Kicks off at 4:30pm, so you might be OK.
