The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Don’t say that.......there’s a Jimmy Sommerville lives a few houses away from me! Lol.

No idea why but I assumed you lived in a house/cottage miles from the nearest neighbour...... a bit like welshie.

Nope............Crieff in Perthshire. Population around 7500 I think. Little bungalow in a reasonably quiet road, but lots of nice walks/trails and cycle routes on my doorstep so love it.

Good day fellow retirees. It's rained off and on all night with thunder and wind. Not raining at present.

Our planned walk was pushed back to 1.00pm with the promise of 16% rain. Forecast is now 44% at 2.00pm............it looks like the cinema instead.

Quiz tonight. I'm desperately searching for someone under 23 who will recognise all these TV "stars" in the picture round.

What is Love Island??

 

[Dave7]

Well they got todays forcast right!!! Thunder and lightening woke me in the early hours. Constant rain now. I see a day of golf on tv, a good book and a nice glass of cognac.

Are you there @172traindriver ??

 

[Mo1959]

Jeez................looks more like November out there now. Wind is howling and rain battering off the windows. Don't think I will be back out.

Me neither............the odd glimpse of a trailer for it has me wondering what is wrong with people that sit glued to that!!

 

[Dave7]

And today's offering........

There was a young man called Train driver
Who thought he was Lady Godiva
On his bike he would ride
With his legs open wide
Shouting come have a look for a fiver.

Ah one of those! @Mo1959 me neither. One of my best friends, highly intelligent, is glued to it with her daughter. Quite beyond me.

Just googled it, it sounds nice.

Crieff was immortalised by William McGonagall in his poem "Crieff"

"Ye lovers of the picturesque, if ye wish to drown your grief,
Take my advice, and visit the ancient town of Crieff.

I also looked up "famous people from Crief" but there was no mention of Mo

Nope, the only notable worthies currently are Dennis Lawson and Ewan McGregor the actors. Met Ewan a couple of weeks ago on one of the walks.
