The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

An ex smoker. Gave up 7 years ago.

I gave up many times but always git gripped again by the "well I could just have one." It's now four years without a cigarette and I've finally managed to overcome the "just one" thing.

Drugs are terrible.

One question though. Have you washed your bloomers since you gave up fags. I dont like the idea of bloomers that smell of fags

Oh please stop it....

Well I did a really good shop yesterday. Menu planned for the week as I raced round ALDI.

Just finished preparing tonight's roast. Have now remembered we fly to Porto on Thursday. Reworked menu plan on basis of what I can't put in the freezer.

Good God, this lounging about all day business is something else, isn't it? In between chasing awful cars, this came up sort of through the back door on eBay. Couple of false dawns re collection days, but went and got it this morning...

A Fanny B, love it I may succumb to buying a classic soon.

Just heard my first Cuckoo.
He's on the other side of the field, really giving it some!

Heard our first for several years a week ago. Good to have them back.

I'm worried about how few flying insects there are this year. Admittedly we had a tree bumble bee colony on the allotment last year but even allowing for that there are very few about.

Same here. I kept making excuses. In the end I just bit the bullet.

@Cavalol got to say, I still have a chuckle over your Hey Diddle Diddle joke, keep up the good work

I dont recall that..... what was it ?

A bit like ordering a new passport when you have "lost" the existing one

I didn't want to remind you.

Where did I put those drones. There around somewhere, I know that.

I will never forget it

I'm not going to rub vinegar in to the wound.

#7130..... it's a bit cheeky!

Have up smoking 32 years ago as I considered it detrimental to my health.
Took up motorcycle road racing with the money I saved..........

Currently awaiting Sunday lunch in the Red Lion, Powick.
Apparently, the pub was used as a field hospital by Cromwell's troops during the battle of Powick Bridge in 1642.
