The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

What a great week of athletics. I’ve really enjoyed it. Bit of inspiration to get back to running.

I can actually envision you doing the shot put or hammer throw

Good morning, been up a while. Looked out of the landing window and the ( flat ) roof of the extension looks like it is on its last legs as it's really crumbly after a couple of decades. Time to ring tound the roofers before the rain comes back.

I know a guy that can give you a good price, an amazing price really. His van gives his name and slogan as "Gipsy Joe, Roofs To Go".
He even gives a lifetime guarantee.
Message me your phone number and I'll get him to contact you.

Well given the fact that my legs only seem to work at about 60% of what they should with all the nerve damage, I might have more success throwing things!

I managed to shuffle 2.4 miles this morning at a very slow 12 minute mile pace. It's a start.

Didn't they used to be in partnership with Bodjit & Scarper? 🤔

Good morning all.
A heavy sleep has been slept. I stayed up late (for me) as I watched the end of a film after the athletics in which we came 2nd overall......approx 250mm from coming 1st but we're pipped by Italy.
We has rain.....how welcome is that. I am told we are getting another hot one next week but I've not read it myself.
A Q day is in store for me. I will nip to the pharmacist for some Ibulieve** for my shin as its still sore, especially to the touch.
**I've used it many years ago and it did precisely nowt but I read they now have a double strength one so I will give it a shot.
Have a good day peeps.

A few days ago there was a thread on obesity and how young people were eating junk food.
Then I read on here what people are eating and I wonder where it all started.😳

Pretty much just after the ending of WW2 rationing and the opening of the first fast food outlet.

There is, or at least was, a company with the strap line:
"You've Tried The Cowboys, Now Try The Indians"

Yep they were Indians 😂

Morning all

Taking my CRV in for welding, prior to getting it through the MOT.
Once it's got its ticket, I'll be looking at PXing it against a Freelander 2.

 

[Drago]

Its a colloquial central and lowland Scottish term of comedic affection for workmen of dubious morals and skills, somewhat akin to Bodgit and Scarper in Larndon.

...I'll be looking at PXing it against a Freelander 2.

Christ on a bike.

Save yourself some time and money - buy an old non runner of a sheet box from the local paper for a tenner and get someone to tow you to a remote lay by and abandon you there. You'll get the authentic Freelander II experience at a fraction of the cost.

Listen 'ere mush......I know you're just trying to be helpful but I get 10% commission for everyone i recommend to Gipsy Joe (GJ to friends like wat I is)......and trust me 10% of what he  fleeces charges people is a lot of spondulix.
