The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Just back from an 80+ mile blast around Exmoor with my mate on his Royal Enfield.
Bike went well and I'm getting more confident in its handling characteristics.
It's got stonking mid range power which is ideal for the types of roads around here.
In beginning to really enjoy it.

Pegs, what we had for dinner & retirement - a way past cool combo! 😁

What happened to wine, women, song (& footy)? 🤷‍♂️

Not trying to be pedantic, but what kind of pegs do you all use. Are they the wooden or plastic spring loaded ones, or the old fashioned wooden Dolly pegs?
I use the Dollies as I find the plastic one get brittle and snap after a while, and the wooden one tend to send the spring flying.

Plastic spring loaded.. I do a safety audit as I use them.. 👍

I always do matching pegs. I also do blue pegs for the boys clothes (ie mine), and, pink pegs for the girls clothes (ie Mrs @BoldonLad's). Neutral items are pegged out with matching pegs from the remaining colours (yellow, green).

Mrs @BoldonLad is never happy with my efforts, and, generally re-arranges the items, eg turning them the other way round, or pegging in a different location on the item.

Having lived in a house with a wife, and, four daughters, for many years, I am very accepting of being wrong, in fact, I have come to accept it as "the norm" 😂

If I stand on my own in the middle of a wood, I'm still wrong it seems 😂

That's coz you're standing in the wrong place....

I like matching pegs too. Maybe it’s a slightly OCD trait? When I finish a walk/jog/cycle I like to end on even numbers. This morning's walk I stopped the Garmin at the house and it said 4.30 but I see Strava called it 4.31. Annoying.

I'm a palindrome person with my Garmin Mo. It would have to be 4.34 for me 😁
( yes, so annoying when it increments the last digit )

What is the plural of wink?


My mind initially went there...










Blink 🤣🤣🤣

At our age, the same has exactly happened to sex drugs and rock and roll.

Oh, thank you, I thought it was just me. We have three different styles of clothes peg. My rules are, Mrs P laughs:

• Styles must not be mixed
• Colours must not be mixed
• Strongest pegs are reserved for heavier items
• Socks must be hung in pairs
• Shirts, T shirts must be hung the right way up, fronts facing me
• Jeans, right way up, inside out to dry pockets and reduce fading

There are some good tips there, may I steal some? 😊
