The Retirement Thread

[jongooligan]

Will be ecstatic when that Mediterranean plume arrives. Forced myself out into a nithering Easterly wind for a couple of laps of the old Leamside TT course this afternoon. It felt more like January than April. Legs were good but I wasn't appreciating the weather conditions so came home and called it quits at 20 miles.

Now planning an adventure for later in the week.

Maybe Welshie will say her remote is broken

The lady is too far away, and I suspect my Good Lady wont be impressed.

We have a working remote! spent a bit extra and brought a Toshiba specific one rather than a cheap generic one, it worked straight out the packet no problems. I'm keeping the old one as a spare, it might work again when its had more time to dry out.

Just popped down the road to see if anything is happening on Bardney bridge, they shut it this morning for 12 weeks and it is one of the main routes out of the village, anyways I digress, I spotted a cyclist and being a bit of one myself I had a chat, he had cycled from Glossop a distance on slow roads of 90 miles and he was on his way to Skeggy another 40 miles, into a headwind. Madness total madness, but boy was I envious.

If it does then you and the good lady can both change programmes at the same time

@Dave7, what type of glasses do you use for supping your wine?

But in answer to your question........I use wine glasses.

A friend of a friend had their artificial grass lawn stolen. Mebbe an urban myth but it is expensive, very portable and difficult to make secure so could be true.

I wish someone would steal the fellow who lives opposite me artificial grass..Looks b——-y awful

I did enjoy watching him in the autumn going out every five minutes to brush the leaves of the grass.He even complained that his neighbours leaves we’re falling on his grass and making it look untidy.

 

[172traindriver]

No he bl**dy isn't

But you would be willing to go help Welshie if her remote wasn't working?

 

[172traindriver]

Concrete and paint it green? You could over paint it brown if we dont get rain this summer.

White in spring and autumn to make it look frosty
