The Retirement Thread

[dickyknees]

The Microsoft computer telephone scam is back!

Had a chap telling me that my computer was being used by an unauthorised user. I let give me the pitch, he then took umbrage when I asked him if he wanted access to my computer and when I asked to call back tomorrow (as we retired people are very busy) he shouted “I WILL NOT CALL TOMORROW” to which I practised my scam, scam, scam song.

Was he asking for a lift like the others

No. He just wanted to moan because his back was hurting.

That was lovely, 62 miles in the sunshine, if thats the last we see of the sun blame me, for the first time this year I've worn shorts, still a bit chilly at first, but warming up nicely as the ride wore on, calm at first, but by the end of the ride the breeze was getting strong again, but it wasn't freezing cold as it has been. By the time I was riding back into Coventry I was running out of legs, which took me by surprise a bit, I presume I'm still not fully over last weekends upset stomach.

I've had an extra meat ration this morning, I don't know what it was it just flew straight down my throat, I didn't even taste it. Great ride out though

Good protein supplement

You should have offered him some physio for his back

I will wait to see if I get one. If I'm bothered to answer I now ask them who they are talking to......strange how the phone goes down

Morning chaps. I am late on parade today. I had a phone call from my son and I was talking to him.

What did he want ??

 

[welsh dragon]

What did he want ??

Surprisingly nothing . I know, Male a change.

Turning into a classic clone are you?

We could go out as a foursome. You & me......Mo & Classic.
By the eck that would be a sight to behold

It would certainly be different that's for sure.

It would certainly be different that's for sure.

And we could get Classic to pick up the tab as he's from Yorshire and we all know how generous those folk are

21 miles of glorious Somerset reeled off today. Very nice pub stop at Wrington - fish finger butty and a pint of Tanglefoot did the job.

 

[Dave7]

Well I got something right. I guessed my golf would be cr*p today and it was.
Roast chicken dinner is nearly ready though so all is well.
Decorator has finished so we have the house back.

Nipping back home to North Devon tomorrow to pick up the doggie from the kennels, then staying overnight at home - dropping bikes and assorted cycling gear off - then back up to Somerset on Saturday morning to pick the van up and continue on up to the Malverns for a week. I think I'll need a holiday after that lot!

I am just about to tuck into my roast but fish finger butties always tick the box
