The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Alas, I've too much coming in and the tax man bends me over and does the proverbial.

Compare that to the drug taking, thieving, wastrel, permanently unemployed sheet bags I dealt with throughout my career, who get free pension and benefits thrown at them, free housing etc, free prescriptions, and never paid a penny in tax in their lives. I wonder if work was worth the bother sometimes

Been reading the Daily Mail have we?

Been put, managed to squeeze 33 quid worth of diseasel into my Volvo, so that that for another 2 months,

I’ve had beans on toast for lunch......exciting stuff!
Still raining, but not sure how much longer I can remain cooped up indoors.

Been raining here all morning. I went out yesterday and got wet, so I've been out today and got wet again.
Dentist this afternoon. That will be interesting.

Just a check up I presume? As much as I am looking forward to getting my hair cut on the 21st, not sure I’m looking forward to the faff of staff and customers being all togged up in ppe.

But my hair this morning. Should be good for another month.

Nope. I have a top plate. Last November I lost a tooth and they added to the plate. Made a complete Horlicks of it. Uncomfortable as hell. I've had the dremel to it several times, and there are times when I can't wear it - when grinding up hills or when I'm under stress I grind my teeth. Not doing much hill work but there is a bit of stress around at present, or so I'm told. Going to try and get a new plate sorted. I'm saying sod the NHS and going private.

Excitement over for one day, skip lorry came, walked the dog and just like @Mo1959 I'm having skidmarks on a raft for lunch!

I don’t normally rant.I watched the early morning BBC morning programme this morning.A five yea old amputee has raised over.one million pounds by doing a sponsored walk .What an inspiration

Following this the program looked at what was happening in the country’s open spaces .Litter every ware.Barbecues left on moorland to burn its self out.If they are capable of taking all there paraphernalia out then they should be capable
the rubbish home.What is the matter with these people.They will be the first to moan when beaches car parks country parks are closedown A group of Leicester City supporters had hired two coaches to take them to Nottingham for boozy night out Apparently it has been cancelled presumably because Nottingham constabulary are on the look out for such incidents.

I do despair at some people’s couldn’t care less.Are local pub has decided not to open until Monday due to are close proximity to lock downed Leicester and feel they would not be able to control a mass influx

Sorry to post my feelings in this thread but it is the only thread I read plus Mundane News and my ride today

Stay safe folks.

If you have an 18 hole course, but play only 9, what's the 19th hole called?

At the moment its called "closed" but it reopens next Wednesday

Lovely dry day here in the so called rainy west. Overcast but virtually no wind so went for a bimble down Loch na Keal again as when the hordes start again it will not be easy. Quite a few obvious tourist cars around already. Couple of pics just to prove the weather.

In the same refuse lorry?

 

[Dave7]

Dent just fixed on a friend of a friend's car, took me 30 minutes, they had been quoted £825+vat from a bodyshop.

Barstewards aren't they.
And you did it for only £800.00 .
Do you do spray jobs as well or just dents ?
Dont worry....I am only interested.
