The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

Yay! FF!
Taking pup for a walk first thing, then lunching out for a change.

Bit of white paint or even better, dark blue to take peoples eye off it.
Ask Dirk, he will tell you, you can trust me.

I reckon it needs welding....

Morning from a roasting hot London.
So warm last evening and everywhere packed, all pubs and restaurants rammed.
People definitely taking advantage of weather.
Be glad to get home tonight thoughm

Garden doors open, coffee in hand, Python Lee Jackson on the wireless. Bliss.

Today is going to be the hottest day here at 31 deg so scorchio. I hate this weather.

Me too.........and Molly has just plonked herself on my lap to keep me warm! 🐱

So arrived at daughters yesterday to do a bit of dog sitting, new there was a reason I don't come south very often, bloody heat, far to hot, waited till after 8pm to take the dog for a walk still to bloody hot. Oh well it's only 4 days and the forecasters are predicting a cooler weekend before I head back north.

That's a little known blast from the past!

 

[Drago]

And bloody brilliant they were too! In a Broken Dream was on the wireless.

Bonjour.
Both Mrs G and I are going for an MOT this morning. I hope there won't be any advisories.
Having lunch with friends afterwards.

With Rod Stewart guesting if my old memory serves me well. Not heard it for years. Maybe 55 years back.

 

[Drago]

Yep. They hired Rod for the session and his fee was a set of seat covers for his car!

In the 90's Rod re recorded it with David Gilmour, an even better verion.

Q day for me. Back still acting up. The dogs dont really pull - Bruce is really mild mannered and young Geddy follows his example - but the slight pull they do manage is enough to set it off. I've ordered a belt to clip their leads to, do everything I can to protect my back. My concern is that I've dome some proper damage to a disc or suchlike, so if no improvement soon it'll be the docs for me.

We are all different but.......
I permanently damaged my back in a lifting accident when I was just 19 .....its actually taken a small piece of the 4th disc.
Spent much time in hospital and a small fortune on chiropractors, various hocus pocus medicine men but the one that helped me was a sports physio guy. I am indebted to him.
Doctors are OK but seriously, what can they possibly know about how backs/spines work.
Hope you get it sorted, it can really affect your life.

Are you dissing my expert advice ?

Dont know him.

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Dont know him.

It was a group around late 60's/early 70's.

I liked the name!

I see Ann Widdecombe has died. For some reason I thought she had already died a while back. Must be thinking of someone else.
