The Retirement Thread

I cant abide mushy peas.

Gavroche, you bought an ebike yet?

Stop pushing or you will have to answer to my wife. Anyway, like I said, plenty of life left in my legs yet. Having said that, they do a lovely eroad bike in Halford for £999. I quite like the look of it too but not worth a divorce over it.

Not sure, maybe I should go looking for it, any idea where to start?

When & where do you remember being "all there"?
That'd be as good a place as any to start.

Sorry but that doesn't appeal to me at all. It looks very dry and I hate mushy peas.

It was as moist as Drago's Y fronts.

Just to make a crap day worse I received a parking ticket in the post today from the hospital, its from when I picked up my Good Lady after she was discharged, I'm normally very though when I pay for parking there, I make sure the payment goes through and I have a receipt, I didn't that day and its going to be expensive.

I have hearing aids from the NHS. Boots was going to cost more than I've budgeted for my new winter bike - so a new bike is back on the agenda as I thought I'd have to forgo that luxury.

The audiologist in SpecSavers was fine did the same tests as Boots with the same result. However the detail she gave on my hearing loss, it's causes and what a hearing aid would do for me was significantly less than Boots provided. Having said that the Boots audiologist expressed surprise I hadn't had these things explained before.

I asked questions based on what Boots told me!!

SpecSavers was incredibly busy on the optical side, far, far busier than I've ever seen Boots.

I found another grasshopper in my flat, I told him he can't stay here, but he wouldn't listen and I went of to say cricket is not allowed as well as other ball sports so you'll have to go but no he was amendment on staying, so with the help of the latest copy of Cycling UK he was removed from said premises, so it goes to show that the Cycling magazine has a use after all, but at £48 a year it's a bit expensive just to get rid of a cricket.
I tried Goggle for “cricket protection” but all they want to sell me was a bloody box, what the hell do I want a box for a cricket......... he's got all the garden and the wood to hop in.

We have Grasshoppers in the front garden but not in the back garden.

I've just done a hearing test online, I think it was broke as I couldn't hear half of the test

Just booked 4 sites for the caravan.
That's September taken care of.

Evening all... Wow, what a week! been very busy in the heat, and to cool down I've been glued to the snooker. Not much internet time I'm afraid.
Got a lot of catching up to do. 🌈

All where?

 

[screenman]

Th pink bedroom is now finished and very pink.

 

[classic33]

All where?

I'll leave you there, still looking in the hope...

 

[Drago]

Have you?

Nope. Lately people seem to wither give vehicles to me or buy them for me!

Talk about a cultural bias....I saw the mushy peas and thought " Wow! Fish and chips with guacamole. That's a surprise..didn't think guacamole was so popular in the U.K." I think guac would be better than mushy peas, although I do like dal.
