The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

I was in Pershore '74 - '76. It would have been '75 or '76 when we used to go to The Boggery, more likely '76. I would have been the cool, good looking guy at the back!!!! 😂 Then went to York.

Back to Brum in September '80 and rented in Sparkbrook or Sparkhill for a few months - they used to pray for Bobby Sands!!! I'll check the church we got married in - that'll tell me.

Then moved to Harborne, 42 Victoria Road. Just round the corner from the pub with the bowling green. Mrs P was training at the QE. At the time it was the premier teaching hospital for midwifery.

Moved up here in '82.

I was in Brum:
1954 - 62 Sparkhill.
62 - 77 Hall Green.

I don't think our paths would've crossed.

I bet you have no regrets either.

Don't be daft. I would rather live in a tent in Wales than be in Birmingham.

Nope 364 days of the year - Christmas Day is croissant, orange juice and champagne in our house.

Which day will you be having nothing this year then?

Oo er, I must have nodded off. Did I miss anything? Did I mention that I too bimbled this morning - fourteen miles out with my friend, but neither of us had much in the tank this morning.

I've just woken to find that she's made a pizza from scratch, so that's me set up.

You're just too good for me..................................though I did have toast and marmalade this morning!

 

[PaulSB]

Well I've had two hour nap, a shower and now I have a very good brew and two digestive biscuits..............................another day in Paradise

Pizza nearly ready.

Just been catching up. All this talk of Jasper Carrott - did he really call his daughter Nora?

Afternoon all. No cycling for me today. But spent the morning in a very productive way at my sailing cub. Discussing how we are going to open the club up to limited social sailing. Hopefully we might even be open for next week. 😀😀😀

I saw him and Phil Cool together live once. Jasper talked about his daughter Nora ... clearly just a joke then, but I wouldn't have put it past him.
