The Retirement Thread

Finished mine 2 weeks ago. To make it easy I went with a similar red to what was already down.

Have you any idea how upsetting I find viewing images like this?

I have always put my car away at night, except for the current Volvo that doesn't fit in the garage. Well, that's not quite true - it does fit, but having to climb in and out of the sunroof gets a bit tiresome.

My neighbour has a double garage. It's full of worthless sheet, while his £150,000 Aston Martin gets covered in guano on the driveway.

Blimey, you live in a posh area then.

Proper job is more of a Cornish phrase than a Devon one.

But you are drinking it

Pray tell why ?

Pray tell why ?

Because he has a morbid fear of flying bicycles!

Don't tell the Wright's.

I also am disgusted by the crap buttheads leave behind, and further angered by broken bottles in the street. A pox on them all and may they all go to the special hell reserved for child molesters and those who talk loudly in movie theaters. BTW, when I first came to Wyoming someone asked me if l knew what the state flower was. I guessed Indian Paintbrush? Nope, he said....it's a Wal-Mart bag in a tree.

A friend who lives in a cul de sac with a footpath leading to woodland leading off is plagued with people parking both sides of the narrow road.
A fire crew came down on an exercise and one of the officers told him that if there was a fire and lives were at risk they would just plough through the parked vehicles.

I have met my local fire engines on their way out to a shout while out cycling and once 50 miles away as they cover the whole island. On a single track on the bike dive for the ditch and in my van up the verge which fortunately happened to be wide enough.

I think Mr WD would have been arrested if he had attacked kids.

How did we ever exist without tourists? The Isle of Mull managed very well with a sprinkle of visitors until it was taken over by outsiders more interested in pushing their own ideas than any interest in the welfare of the existing community. The rot started with the introduction of Sea Eagles who are now fed by some of the tour operators to give their punters a photo op.

I went for a ride the other evening and saw the usual roadside food and drink litter and then turned down a lane and found a battered Dyson vacuum cleaner in a ditch. Not one of those lightweight modern ones - an original big chunky one like this...

Slobs!

You would have thought it would have been as easy to drive to the tip.

Well the only similarity between your garage and mine is breeze blocks and a bike hanging on the wall. 🙂

Let's just say my garage doesn't quite make the grade. 😄

That’s not a proper garage It’s photo from Home andGardens

Where are all the half empty paint tins.Pieces of wood that are kept because they may be useful 🤥😀😀😀

 

[welsh dragon]

I always put my car in the garage even though Mr WD has filled half of it with crap he won't throw away.

Prior to repainting, for those that have not seen it before.

hahaha.
I assure you......they were all there 2 weeks ago. I had a mass clear out into the hall (MrsD was not happy).
Most of it has been binned now. Needs a other hour and some serious head scratching and we are good to go
