The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning fellow retirees,

I slid my feet out from under the covers at 6:15 and thought I'd just lay still for a moment and gather my thoughts.
Next thing I know it’s 7 o'clock 😯

Mrs Tenkay rode part of the first stage of the tour de France yesterday on the new turbo.
Quite impressive as the graphics were actually a real time video of the route.
Have a lovely day folks 🙏🌞👍

I have risen!

Good morning. I was listening to the dam Canadian geese making a racket as they flew over my house at god knows what hour.

Looks like another nice day for us here. Might go for another bimble.

I was going to have a little rant but won't now except if I see one more FB post telling me how we are all now equal I will SCREAM!

Annoys me too. I'm even wondering if Boris even merited an ICU bed considering he never required anything other than normal oxygen which could surely and have been delivered in a ward? Bet they won't let him out too early and die at home like that poor bus driver that obviously wasn't completely recovered. 😢

Morning all

There's a lot of traffic on the roads around here at the moment.
Can only be holiday makers, as it's been deathly quiet for a couple of weeks. The police are now combing the back roads into Ilfracombe, Combe Martin, Croyde and Braunton looking for incomers trying to sneak into their holiday homes. They are also patrolling supermarket car parks looking out for grockle cars.
Why can't people stay at home like the rest of us?
What do they think they are going to do when they are down here? Everything is closed!

Yes though I can see the reason for an exception to Boris. I'm not a fan of his but do feel he and the government are doing a decent job on Covid-19. If Johnson were to have died I feel the economic impact, loss of markets confidence, would have been very severe.

Things could be worse. We could have those Labour councillors, mayors etc who go on Facebook saying they wish every member of the government would die of the virus. Nice human beings and just the type of people that should be running the UK. I am so glad that Corbyn and his fellow communists crashed and burned in the election.

The government have made mistakes as have just about every government in every country accept South Korea, but I wonder what the other lot would have done in their place. It's easy to be able to criticise with hindsight, or when it's someone else
making the mistakes. Can you Imagine Corbyn responding to criticism if he had been in charge.

And I don't believe that Drs and nurses would have stayed silent if boris hadn't needed the treatment that he received.

More false and fake news.

I totally agree. If the prime minister of a country isn't a bit of a special case, who is?

I am with you on that.
I am not the least bit political but he is a figurehead and is important to the nation, particularly at this time.

Can I swear? Go on MODS let me swear.
They are such totally selfish barstewards.
OK, they think it will never happen to them but this lock down is to prevent/stop the spread.
Lock them up, water canon, shoot the b*stards (maybe thats a bit extreme) but that selfish attitude really annoys and upsets me.

Morning all. Just had our first ever Sainsbury's home delivery. All good apart from substituting a 4 pack of Beavertown Neck Oil for a bottle of Blue Moon, only beer lovers will know how wrong that is

Why does everyone one here get up so early?

Nah..... we are up at the correct time.
You are late

Insomnia for me. Would love to be able to sleep later. However, as I love the early mornings it doesn't really bother me that much.

Late for what?
