The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

Morning all fellow wheezers.
Nice and bright here.
The usual dog walking to be done, and then out on the bike for a while.
Agree with the comments on Roadkill, I can't wait for the next episode. I won't cheat and watch it on I player.

Stay safe everyone.

Once all the cycling is over we’ll be able to get stuck into series 2 and 3 of The Bridge.
Of course as of this evening we’re also going to have to make room every weekday for Strictly It Takes Two

Morning all

Got to nip into LIDL in Barnstaple this morning and then drop in to the caravan to resupply it with a few things, ready for our next getaway.
Weather's looking crap for the next week. Atlantic storms blowing in, so I'd better check our fences.

I think I saw that it’s on at the moment ? I could be wrong, I don’t pay much attention to the schedules.

Edit - it’s recorded from BBC4 late Saturday nights

@Flick of the Elbow - thanks. Found it on iPlayer.

Well I've been awake since 3.20 and up since 5.40. Pouring with rain, blowing a gale and I can't be arsed to do anything.

And as I'm retired I don't have to do anything 👍 so I'm going back to bed. When I wake up it will

Rossi initiated it , it is precautionary in case you lose the front and it acts as a brake supplement to slow the bike before cornering and to inspire confidence. Rossi has missed the last 2 Moto GPS as he has Covid. He fell in the last three races he competed in when he was in podium positions. Marc Marquez has missed most of the season with shoulder injury. Marquez has the ability to lift the bike when the front is lost. Remarkable to witness.

A bit different to when I used to go to Oulton Park to watch Minter and Mr & Mrs Tickle.
Them were the days

Dirk, been meaning to ask you for ages, but since you're talking about names, do you know a chap named Ronnie Newton from the East end? he was into racing in the early 70's, I think he did the Isle of Man. A mate of mine then, we used to go to Judo.
