The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I like ginger nuts, good dunkers. Partly I buy them because it stops me eating the packet in one go - now chocolate Hob Nobs or Digestives and self-control goes out the window.

I tried to move us to ALDI Fair Trade but Mrs P want having it. Kenco in our house.

I am a coffee machine snob.
Never been keen on granules. I will have a cup if I run out of pods but for me the machine rules .
BTW.... when leaving Aldi at 0810 last week I could not believe the queue to Costa. Can these people not switch a kettle on ??

 

[Dave7]

Oh tell me about it. Nearly every week at Rovers we'd have a minutes silence or applause. These things have become meaningless.

I don't have to wear a BLM T-Shirt to know it's true or to understand we need to change our society.

I'm just waiting for all those people clapping for carers to clap for higher taxes so the country can afford the social services people need.

That's today's rant finished.

Poor old Alf Garnett will be turning in his grave.

Morning all, nothing to moan about here, yet.

You should have seen the queue at Macdonald's on Preston Docks on Wednesday. We stopped for coffee about 12.00 at the Green Frog, one of those mobile jobs.

There were two lanes going in to MacD's. One lead to the car park where drivers queued round the car park, then turn out of the exit to join the back of the queue for the takeaway window.

All for a shoot burger. Unbelievable.

I feel drugged this morning. I slept soooo heavy. Still woke at 0600. Sadly, once I wake, thats it......I cant seem to get back to sleep.
My Bro and SiL are coming later** (from the Wirral) to Steal collect the Flymo I offered him. I was tempted to put a price on it but he is my Bro
**we have been told of a local chippy that is open for click and collect so we may have a fish Saturday (sorry Dirk).

Mornin' all.
The mist from yesterday has fought off the rain to develop itself into a full blown fog today. Run rather than a ride is on he cards then.

Come on!!! Think harder. I'm sure you can think of something.
If not, what are you doing on this section

Holy Mary Mother of Trump! I've just discovered that Watling Street and Fosse Way were built by Roman slaves! I'm going to lead a mob to tear them up and throw them in the harbour immediately.

Morning all,
MrsP and myself are off out for the day, stay safe everyone.

Good morning fellow retirees,

The Gas lady has been and all is tickety-boo for another year. Our Glowworm boiler is 23 years old and she described it as a " youngster"
The sun is shining and Mrs Tenkay is heading to the local shops.
Weekly 5k challenge first, then back on the turbo to continue my journey to Land's End 🚲
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶‍♂️🏃🚲🌞☕🌞🚀

Good morning good folks.

Congratulations on your and Mrs Paulus anniversary @Paulus.

So true.
It was stupid when it started and now its totally crazy stupid.
I was just reading that footballers will be wearing "black lives matter" on their shirts for the 1st game. What next ?

Morning all

Only been awake for half an hour and already had the biggest larf of the day.
Apparently there is a campaign being organised to shut down the Guardian newspaper, so beloved of the lefties, because it was founded using money made from the slave trade and it supported the Confederate side in the American civil war. You couldn't make this s**t up!
