The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

Well the day started OK

Had an appointment with an AgeUK client at 10:30

turned out to be a bit of a problem

left about quarter to 3 - supposed to be a one hour thing!


then got home to the news that the dishwasher was not working - error coce F01
which means the "flood detector" at the bottom had shut the things down due to a suspected flood

turned out it was working

but the "manual" was a very basic user guide
and the website basically said "ring up and we will come out and fix it - don;t ask how much it will be"


anyway - after a lot of faffing about I managed to dismantled the bottom of it
and all the bottom was flooded (ooh err missus!!!)


and it was still leaking from somewhere

anyway - looking at the price of a new one - compared to probable price of fixing it
and if we fix it we have a fixed 12 year old dishwasher with other parts the same age as the broken one - whichever that one is
I could see me spending the next 2 weeks taking bits off and replacing them only to find I needed another one
and getting an "expert" to do it would cost about the same as a new dishwasher!!!


so we decided to get a new one

but I have a question

This washing of dishes???

I forget - is it a Man's job or a Woman's?????


and are there any volunteers to explain this to my wife???

They are probably sitting by the side looking at the lolly ice and drooling!!!


(yes - lolly ice - those of us with a civilised upbringing have to try to educate the less fortunate ones in society)

Good morning all.
Woke around 5.30 of the am clock with the smoke alarm battery chirping away as it needs replacing.
It's not going to rain today, but it is a bit cloudy out there.
A dog walk around the field after breakfast then-----
I'm meeting up either my mate at lunchtime in the Railway Bell.
Enjoy your day everyone p

Ooh, Dutton Ranch tonight.

For those that don't follow it, Rip Wheeler is a rancher. Hard as nails, but basically a good guy. However, he has a bit of an anger problem and when people cross he tends to beat them up, burn their houses down, kill them, or all three. Suffice to say someone has crossed him and hes jolly angry about it, so things are looking interesting.

So he's only a good guy if you don't upset him🤔

Pretty much!

Theres a good scene in Yellowstone where one of the ranch hands grandpappy is murdered and the lad is all for going and shooting the bloke. Rip tells him to calm down, and says, "I'll show you how to fix a problem without creating a bigger problem." And he does, by staging a gas explosion and killing the geezer!

Right, better get my pert and shapely ass into gear.
