The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Anyone remember the TV commercial
" Every Tom, Jack or Walt
Who likes the taste of Malt
Will like the Malt
In a Colt 45"

Don’t remember that one.

That was bonkers, three wheels on his waggon and he still won it.

There was a Ferrari driver who got passed, and beaten over the line, by his rear wheel. It finished some 30 feet in front/ahead of him.

Don’t remember that one.

Midlands Today TV
The ad showed a squad of American soldiers march into a bar singing the above refrain.
The beer itself was crap

Evening all....Had a great ride with the lovely Sunday London Riders. 42 miles door to door for me. Fascinating to learn a bit more about the history of certain buildings and statues....

Regarding naughty words. When I was in my teens travelling around Europe. I was playing pool with an American guy, and he said to me 'hit the ten ball you great dildo' always made me laugh.
Another, when my wife first came to London as an 16 year old innocent colleen, she started for working for an American company in London's west end, her boss was an American woman and kept saying to her, 'You've got a cute fanny' took a while before she knew what it meant. 🌈

I remember that album, I haven't heard it in years.

Fabulous album, still one of my favourites. We saw the Gracelands Tour at the Birmingham NEC in 1987.

I wish you all a good morning
Seems quite pleasant out there.
I forgot to bring the tomato plant inside last night. Hope it wasn't too upset with me.
Yesterday was the 1st proper go with the new Dyson, have to say I was impressed.

We started a course of vitamins D3 and B12 yesterday. I have never believed in the need for them** but I will try anything to get rid of this fatigue.
**I am sure some people need them but I never have.
@GM must be 45 years ago when a young girl I worked with visited relatives in Australia. I still smile whem I recall how shocked sh was when the Oz relative said "come on girl, put your fanny next to me".

Good morning fellow retirees,

Another glorious morning with not a lot planned. I'll attempt to return my library books then perhaps wander up to Wimborne via the Stour.
Just over 100k left before Land's End, the daily turbo session has been a good way of preventing lethargy creeping in during lockdown.
Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🏊‍♂️🌞

Good morning all. It looks like it rained overnight.
A few domestics to do, the dog to be taken for her first walk, and whatever the day throws at me.
Another day in paradise.

Morning all, off out to wash the cars before it gets to hot, have fun you all.

Good morning folks. On the cool side heee and misty as well. Off to do my monthly shopping in the Metropolis known as Newtown today. How exciting is that

Stay safe folks.

 

[Drago]

Going to fit new brakes on the car today. What joy.
