The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

62 miles the journey, Kilby the destination. I used the route to Countesthorpe for the route out, out of Coventry through Wood End, Shilton, Withybrook and on to Ullesthorpe, turned left and onto Gilmorton, through Peatling Parva and Peatling Magna then onto the gated road, at the end of the road instead of turning left for Countesthorpe I turned right crossed the main road and into Kilby, turning right in Kilby I rode through Fleckney and into Saddington then turned right towards Bruntingthorpe, crossed the main road then turned through Walton and Kimcote and onto Gilmorton and picked up the route out to take me back into Coventry. A lovely ride in the sunshine, a fast and enjoyable ride out, but by the time I'd turned for home the breeze had got up and a lot of the ride home was a slog.

Totally agree with you. Too many people with too many agendas and newspapers that are owned by right or left wingers and they themselves have an agenda.

I don't know the facts, so I don't make comment one way or the other. I am however sick of hearing about it, so I have stopped watching the so called news..

Me and you both.

I'm not party to the full facts of the case.
Everyone seems to have their own agenda.
The only information available is either contrived or controlled by the MSM.
On that basis I'll reserve judgement until I'm convinced one way or the other.
On the other hand - I just can't be arsed with all the petty political point scoring.

I'm not going to enter the rights and wrongs of the case either. What does astonish me, in fact I'm completely outraged, is that Cummings is, well has been now, live on UK TV to make a statement and answer questions.

In my lifetime this has been something which the Queen or senior politicians do not some salaried advisor.

Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells.

The guy can't win, can he?
If he'd refused to make a statement, or answer questions, he'd be pilloried.
If he makes a statement and answers questions, he's breaking accepted protocol.
Personally, I refuse to get outraged about anything. It's not worth it. Life's too short.

Anyway, the Politics thread is this way >>>>>>>

Looks like people have heeded the advice not to come here.

Morning everyone! Lovely and sunny here after our once in a decade storm from the remnants of cyclone Mangga. Lockdown is much reduced here so we are free to continue on our travels. Heading north in the direction of Broome. Hopefully we will be allowed there by the time we get there. Will have to see how far we can get before September.
