The Retirement Thread

[mistyoptic]

I used to write training documents, risk assessments, route directions & store/depot assessments for HGV's.
My aim was to assume zero knowledge (apart from the fact that the drivers knew how to drive a truck) of the task. Routes would start with 'Turn left (or right) out of the gate'.

We were always told to write it aiming at someone with a reading age of five. Much the same really

Never done Y, Felchberk, Twatter, Nik Nak, Instantwhip, or any of that type of nonsense.

I got kicked off a local facebook group a few weeks ago for implying that a certain Uk "politician" might have been lying based on evidence that i cited
The "owner" had called me a few rather insulting but unimaginative terms a few times before

which I found quite amusing

One of the major reasons I dont to organised social media is because Im not interested in the P word.

I find that anything related to "The P word" on places like FaceBook or Reddit need to be cheched out carefully

There are a lot of people on there who are "very easy to convince" - shall we say
and others who are straight up liers

Its the need some people have to stand on an electronic soapbox and give us all the benefit of their opinion that annoys me. Its an incredibly arrogant way to conduct oneself.

And at the other end of the scale its pictures of people's dinner, feet, mediocre sunsets, etc. No!

Morning. I wasn't sleeping so just gave up. I'll have a cuppa and browse for a bit and then decide what to do exercise wise. Looks quite chilly out. The stars are sparkling.

Morning all.
A cool 10° at the moment and due to reach 20° later.
The big decision is, do I wrap up and walk early or wait until it warms up. i will cogitate.
have a good day peeps.

One man's meat etc.
If the forum or sub section is specifically for that and it doesn't interest you personally then just dont look at it eg there is a section on CC asking "what did you cook tonight" and another "what's for breakfast" (or similar words). I enjoy that.
I also enjoy you telling us about your dogs and your campervan escapades.......each to his own and ignore the parts that dont interest you.
NB
I was going to post the latest pic of my feet but I won't do that now

Cooooeeeee. 6 dey here. We are expecting another nice day at around 22 deg.

Second coat of paint on the door then I'm done with that one. I have a few other paint jobs to do and I am expecting another set of curtains for the bedroom this week. I already put up the extra set in the living room. I need new curtains for my workroom as well.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
Looks like another sunny day in prospect.
No pictures of my feet today, or any day come to that.
A morning of domestics and then out on the bike for a while.

Off to Hardwick Hall today

we are taking the grand-daughter - she seems to like "old stuff"
but she also likes a day away from her brothers!!

anyway - 2 hour drive so I will have to get them up soon
apparently the 14 year old takes over an hour to "get ready" - when I was 14 I took about 1 minute to get ready if I was doing something
Girls are weird!
