The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Not Danni Minogue, but a vision in lycra that's turned a few heads along the roadside none the less.

Much like me, Dave, Jon and Dirk. @PeteXXX often joins us for one of our lycra rides, but as hes shorter than the rest of us it ruins the team effect.

Oh my eyes. Pass the bleach someone.

The guy in pink must be you - since he 'has risen' it would seem.

That actually makes me feel physically sick!

What's happened? My paper doesn't seem to suggest anything like this. I am though saddened by the sudden relaxation I see in the supermarkets. No hand sanitizer or trolley hygiene outside, no control on numbers entering my local ALDI. I've seen this twice now. I did find the sanitizers inside but felt the store was too busy. I also went to the local Sainsbury, the queue was enormous so I drove out again. There will be a quieter time to go.

Our Aldi today.......sanitiser spray and gel set out on a table before you go in. No queue at 07.45

Those 'monkey bum' lycra shorts don't provide the best view from behind, but this was something else. Is that John Prescott and Terry Scott in the line up I see? Forget it, don't look again, permanent eye damage may result.

It's enough to make your eyes water and not in a good way either.

Morning all. Feeling a little sad this morning . I should be loading the car up this morning to drive to Sheldon in Devon for a weeks holiday but the virus put paid to that. Oh well .... Mrs Ex laser 2 has still got the week off , so we can spend some quality time together as the young people say or just time as we would say after 30 years together lol . Luckily as the lockdown has been eased ( in England anyway ) we can at least have a few days out , sea side at cleavdon maybe or cycle round Rutland water or maybe do one of the popular trails in Derbyshire. Anyway must dash and get dressed, mrs ex laser 2 has got the expresso machine on 😂😂😀

If you are going to the seaside remember the bogs will probably still be closed. OK for you if you need a pee but maybe not for Mrs E L

 

[Dave7]

Is there a shortage of white cabbage ??
Aldi have not had any for 3 weeks.
Spar had some 2 weeks ago but stupid price.
The Aldi dash was ok but they were out of a few items eg dishwasher salt, naval oranges and (as above) white cabbages.

Good moaning poople.
Quite pleasant here. I am not planning a ride today though as I have one pencilled in for tomorrow.
My postponed Aldi dash is on for 0730. We need dishwasher salt etc for the new machine. I must say it looks better designed than the old one.....they seemed to have somehow fitted more into the same space. There are more options which we dont need though, we just need it to wash dishes

Will you be cooking fish in it?

TBH I never gave that a thought.....silly me

There's a device called a " Shewee" which enables ladies to wee standing up and direct the flow much like a gentleman does.
They were handing them out at the start of the London Marathon when I last did it several years ago. It was strange to see the Urinal tents for ladies as well as men.

Even I know that you don't cook fish in the dishwasher

It fine. The lovely mrs exlaser 2 is many things but demure and shy are definitely two things that are not on the list. Years of camping at out of the way sailing clubs to do events means she can squat behind a tree with the best of them 😂😂😂😂😂

You sure?
"All you have to do is wrap the salmon tightly in foil, stick the packet in the top rack, and run it on a regular cycle. When the cycle is done, the salmon is cooked and ready to eat."
