Mundane News (Part 1)

[Hill Wimp]

I've done the ironing as well today, my non-iron work t-shirts and work pants (trousers to everyone else who doesn't live in Manchester(I've had this debate elsewhere in the forum!!!)) are actually pretty good, but they just don't look right if you don't iron them. Since the t-shirts came in, the ironing in of creases is a thing of the past.

At least come next Saturday there will be some decent football on the telly to watch whilst I am doing all tasks mundane!

I am old and fled to the land of suits 20 years ago. Thank goodness for M&S.

I want to flee to the land of working in a gym or working in somewhere hot with a ton of clubs to play in.

Oh what's that??? Hello reality... Hello rent... Hello bills...

It's not too much of a sore point (I joined on the 35year scheme), and will only have to work one extra year to get to sixty. I know people who joined at the age of 19 on the 30 year scheme and will be doing 41years.

The increased contributions are a pain though... Having said that, septembers increment will put that right... Oh wait... Hang on....

I picked 250g of blackberries on our evening dog walk. They are in the freezer now.

I have realised that in this thread bored people write inane, uninteresting rubbish that other bored people browse with not the slightest interest.

People, we have invented Twitter.
