The Retirement Thread

Mo and Welshie......do not read this.
Funny and absolutely true story about that.
Like you we had no bathroom. Bog down the yard and a tin bath by the fire. One day/evening a friend of my mum (we called her aunty) was there. I guess I was about 7.
After my bath I was standing there naked and for whatever reason I got a hard on and found it funny......I was boasting by hanging the towel on it.
I have no idea why it happened but it is vivid in my mind.
Come on Classic.......you can interpret that.
BTW.....I can't seem to do it now

You could have warned me too!

Morning all

Off to pick up half a ton of golden flint chippings that someone doesn't want this morning. I need some to finish off the garden borders and he only wants £15 for it. Bargain!

Bargain indeed but you will need BIIIIG panniers.

That sounds like a bargain and an awful lot of shovelling.........

It is a huge bargain. I ordered a couple of tons to top up the front garden and I'm sure it was something like £170 if I remember.......and it was a lot of shovelling

Late up this morning and my get up and go has really got up and gone.
Coffee has been consumed so slowly coming round.
I have some jobs to do then some gardening......we managed to get bedding plants and soil yesterday so plan to do the beds and pots.
BTW @PaulSB and other hortiwhatsits
For the pots..... what ratio of soil & compost should I use ?

 

[PaulSB]

@Dave7 clearly feels you're made of sterner stuff.......

 

[PaulSB]

BTW @PaulSB and other hortiwhatsits

75/25 peat/soil and certainly no more than 50/50. I usually mix it the same way one would sand and cement. Make a pyramid shaped pile and keep turning it over on itself.

Now I know why they call him Dave 7 - would sound more impressive in metric though , except that Mo doesn't do metric.

Dave 17.75 doesn't have quite the same ring to it!!!!.....................and the rest of the male members of this little group would get a complex

I know but he followed up that story by boasting about the size of his 'panniers'!

I bet that was your party piece when you were a teenager!
