The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

ANyway - back to today

I seem to have been ignoring you lot
didn;t mean to - I was reading but kept getting distracted by other thread

anyway - decided it was far past time for a ride
been too busy cleaning the gutters with the power washer
then cleaning up the massive mess that created

anyway - got the bike out
front tyre as flat as a flat thing

OK - fix tyre
found a hole OK
tracked it to the tube and stuck a self adhesive patch on
left it for a while - all OK
but it all back together and

loud hissing from a totally different point

went to put spare tube in and - it is Presta
I never want Presta - I know the reasons etc but I just stick to the other

anyway - why a new hole big enough to hiss in a totally different place

Oh - and the hol in the tyre was one of those were the stone/knife/whatever just poked a hole - noting inside

anyway - ride changed to somewhat later walk to the LBS and he can fix it

bike needs a looking at anyway - and ebike gubbins needs updating or whatever

A snooze has been snoozed and now I'm chomping on double fried egg on toast.
Might go for a stroll shortly.

I know of a very trustworthy and honest bloke who can help

He also know some legal loopholes that get around the tax
you don;t want to pay loads of tax do you!!
well - this is the bloke to help

It is all above board

he just uses the back room of the local pub as a meeting room to keep the costs down
just walk past the "Topless Barmaids" sign outside and the ask the lady behind that bar for "Little Bob"

He'll sort you out

I checked and he has never ever worked with any politicians - so I reckon he ain;t a wrong'un

Just drop me a note (or several - of decent denominations) and I will take you down there
BTW - people there might refer to me as Big Jonny - it's just to keep my followers off the scent - don;t worry about it

Hope this helps

I have been to the place you recommended for which I thank you.
However, I got as far as the topless bar then for some reason forgot what the other instruction were. However I passed a pleasant couple of hours there and have become best bosom friends with one of the barmaids.

Teen daughter wanted to go to The Trafford Centre. No tram due to engineering works so used the car. Good 3 hours in the Centre with her testing makeup, perfume, Trying sunglasses (expensive) on whilst I looked at watches and gentleman's things. I used to have a life 30+ years ago where I indulged in expensive fripperies but less so now. No shortage of spending in that place.
More tickets bought today. The Lightning Seeds. I must be trying to recapture the 90s when I didn't follow indie or alt rock bands

Have you wet the bed, up at this hour?

Lately I just can't sleep. I'm lucky if I get 3 hours sleep nowadays. Can't possibly be my age.

I have been pottering in my workroom.

And I now have a ginger cake in the oven. I haven't made one for about 3 years. If the bin walks in he will smell it right away.

Good to hear you are getting out and about after your operation!

I think I saw a photo of you there
err - hang on

I was told by some bloke I don;t know that there is a photo of someone who looks like you behind that bar

This bloke said something a woman who was in there was muttering about about Triumph Heralds when the photo was put up

It was difficult to hear what he was saying but the phrase "of the year" was in it

apparently

so he said

dunno who he was

do you have a brother (hint hint!)

I am older than you and sleep well each night. My problem is waking earlier than I want so I get up knowing I will go back for an hour.
I recently had 3 days when I didnt have a snooze but that was a rare break.
