The Retirement Thread

[numbnuts]

One for Mr Numbnuts?

Not done one for a few years now as they stopped doing the Southampton one
and the guyn that organised it would not let anybody else take over, I tried but was turned down.
Use to be a great laugh and the Local Evening Paper had loads of photos in the next day and people
use to come up to me and say "saw you in the nude".........

Its not for me. Too much risk of my undercarriage getting caught in the chain.

MrsD got out of the car this morning, tripped and face planted the tarmac.
Had me worried for a while, but no bones broken, luckily. She's now feeling a bit sorry for herself and is bruised all over.

I'm intrigued, where in the world are humans up to 3 metres tall?

Blimey. Olivier Richters is huge enough!

If I may ask... I seem to recall that the CRV has given sterling service, is there a particular reason for not sticking with the CRV range?

"I fancy a change" is of course a valid reason 😂

Personally, I am currently looking at the Kia PV5 Passenger MPV.

Yes, my Mk2 CRV has been a brilliant car and has served me well for over 7 years.
However, the later models have problems of their own. Personally, I'm not as keen on the body shape of the later ones and I don't think they are as practical, having moved too far away from the utilitarian ethos of the earlier ones.

Good evening. Normality has returned to our house. With holidays no small people will be visiting for two weeks.........we may have recovered by then! 🤣

Last night #1 and 3 to sleepover. All went well #3 - 21 months - got up at 4.30am. I'm absolutely shattered..........but it's been a very good day. 👍

Mitsubishi outlander diesel.

Car like to drive, proper lockable 4wd instead of Haldex, economical, nippy, spacious. Finding one is the hard part.

Morning. We have 14 degrees and thick mist. I was going to do my hill walk but I’ll leave that for a clearer day.

G'day cobbers.
A good sleep but woken by the need for a pee break at 05.30. I'm still tired so my snooze may come early.
16° rising to 18° which is more than acceptable. Light showers which are welcome but not enough.
Today......hospital to be fitted with a new hearing aid. There is a food stall there and the guy sells good quality fruit and veg. I like to support it even though its expensive. I will at least get grapes.
