The Retirement Thread

[screenman]

I'm guessing Dave's got some new wheels

They will not last long, due to the amount of miles he does, just popping out for 55 miler, whilst some of us look at the bike and figure out how to get our leg over.


Not sure that came out as I expected it too.

Over the weekend Lovely Wife has informed me that she will be retiring mid-2021 so I will be doing likewise and will euthanase my little business at the same time.

This will be our second stab at retiring which we last tried in 2004 - I'm hoping now that this will be our final attempt.

So, in preparation for eventually becoming a full-time active member of this thread I need to brush up on:

DIY,

Pub grub,

Smutty remarks/double entendre,

Womens underwear, particularly bloomers which I have never come across before (see how I am getting into the spirit of the thread),

Baking,

Proper beer,

Gardening.

That's a fair old list to be getting on with.

Am I on the right track? Is there more I need to bone up on?

All help will be appreciated muchly.

As an aside, I'm rather looking forward to becoming one of you parasitic spongers who are sucking the life out of the nation's finances despite having paid my dues (of which there was rather a lot).

Seriously, I think you are a lovely lot with a nice upbeat nature and sunny disposition - a nice antidote to the doom and gloom that prevails in the virtual social world.

I think you will fit in well here. Good luck. I hope retirement actually happens for you.

And you forgot about Drago's Y fronts. Bet your glad you did as well.

Erm.......I don’t see any mention of cycling! We do actually do that too sometimes.
