The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

And who could forget the lyrics of Delilah...?

...
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind
At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
...

Blimey!

They don't write like they used to

maybe just as well!!!!

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

just thought

The Police - Every little Breath you Take - I used to think it was really romantic - wrote the words out on a Valentines card once

then I discovered it was about stalking
Oh well

Don't stand so close to me
as an ex-teacher - REALLY!!!!!!!!! - would have been reported - we had enough lectures on the subject!!!!!


and there was an Art Garfunkel track on an album I have somewhere - about a murder - and how he wasn't guilty
I think the jury might have been a bit divided

and lets not start on RAP - some of the songs the kids listened to - dodgy or what!!!

 

[numbnuts]

can't sleep

 

[ColinJ]

can't sleep

I hope that hot drink was decaf, or you will never doze off! Good luck anyway...

I'm off now to phase one of my shutdown procedure... Go to bed then play computer puzzle games on my tablet until I can't concentrate any longer.

Go to bed then play computer puzzle games on my tablet

Any decent ones you can recommend? I quite like to while away the hours playing puzzle games.

Morning all, batteries recharged and ready for another great day, swim first then bit and bobbing. Have fun.

Good morning folks, it could be an expensive day, car in for MOT and service this morning.

And then there's the Long Black Veil,



Ten years ago on a cold dark night
A man was killed 'neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran looked a lot like me.

The judge said, Son what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die
Well, I spoke not a word though it meant my life
For I had been in the arms of my best friends wife.

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows, but me.

The scaffold is high an eternity nears
She stood in the crowd, shed not a tear
But sometimes at night when the cold winds moan
She comes to my grave and she cries on my bones.

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees,
Nobody knows, but me...

Good morning all fellow wheezers.
A bright start to the day here. It won't last.
Hopefully I'll be able to get out on the bike later. I have some new handle tape for one of them, so a little job to do in the man cave when the rain comes.
Some shopping to do locally as well.
Another day in paradise
Stay safe everyone

 

[welsh dragon]

Morning. Blimey, can't you lot get any more depressing? What a bunch of morbid old farts you lot are.

Anyhoo. It's not raining here which is good news.

Stay safe folks

 

[Dirk]

Morning all

Off up to Stowford Meadows caravan shop this morning to get a new step for the van.
Will be lunching at the Grampus Inn at Lee Bay.

Damn flu jab
had it a few days ago and I have had a background headache all day today - and other stuff

and on top of that it has made my bike all muddy

I have evidence - my bike was all clean (well cleanish - I hosed it down - must oil the chain sometime soon) before I had the jab

looked at it at lunchtime today and it is all muddy

so there you are - get a flu jab and your bike gets muddy

on another note - wonder when they will stop the lorries going up and down the road outside this estate - damn things are filthy after driving over the old golf course they are working on - must be awful up there in this weather.
and they really should level out those potholes and puddles on my normal route

Is that what used to be the old municipal course ?? The one they closed when poisonous chemicals were found under the turf

 

[welsh dragon]

Seems I spoke to soon.
