The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

Just tried blowing a match out through a double layer of kitchen roll, no way could I do it, single layer I could just about if I held the match real close, does anybody know how long it takes for eyebrows to grow back.

Stronger set of lungs required, maybe.

Is a piece of kitchen roll, doubled over. not twice as thick? It's what I used.

Eyebrows, about a week, ten days.

Besides were you never told not to play with matches, 'cause if you do you'll burn your fingers?

July 30th 2017 - before and after. Still smiling. Have to confess the last 5 miles I was oblivious to my surroundings - a steward had to flag me down after crossing the line. 19.5avg.

Mrs P has made 10-12 masks with double layers and an internal pocket for tissue or kitchen roll. I have a very good lung capacity.

Without the tissue/kitchen roll, holding a match 3" from my mouth and blowing has hard as possible I couldn't make the flame even flicker.

I'm not going in that thread though

So that's another of today's tasks completed.

That's partly the reason I posted the results of my test here.

Not quite blow the man down, more blow the match out. If you're able.

Good grief. I looked at the first page and the last one. That told me everything I needed to know about the masks thread which was more than enough thank you very much.

There are cameras in Barmouth along the sea front thay are run by the yachting club.

Barmouth is heaving today as it was yesterday as well. A place to avoid methinks.

Can tell it's a still day with no wind - I can hear the F1 cars at Silverstone this morning.

Well thats nice to know....... not!!!
Just had my eyes tested to be told I could be totally blind in a few years .
Its a long technical name but there is a gap between various parts of the eye that allows liquid to circulate and drain. That gap is closing up.
She said, if not treated, I would get severe pain followed by blindness.
She is booking me into hospital where laser surgery should sort it.

 

[Drago]

Sorry to hear that Dave. This should cheer you up.

Good grief. Horrible news but at least you know about it and it can be sorted. Hope it all goes well Dave.
