The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Ah. Yes. I saw that. I find it's best to stay away from those places as my mouth says things before I have managed to put my brain into gear.

Yes, happened to me this morning. I expressed my opinion but fortunately deleted the post before anyone had seen it.

So have we got the kettle on? We don't have biscuits but we do have crumpets and scones. Sadly I can't find any blackcurrant jam, I shall set Mrs P to in the kitchen

Crikey, it’s getting a bit wild out there now! Definitely an afternoon on the couch watching the rugger.

The one that annoys me is the politicians starting a response to a question with “look”.

Staff and riders of Mitchelton Scott do the same. I blame Matt White

Blimey it’s a bit blowy out there. Very heavy squalls lashing down from time to time too.
Just called in at my LBS, added my name to the 3 week (!) waiting list for a repair.
Happy birthday @gavroche !
@monkers Sorry to hear about your spill, GWS !

It seems that Sean Connery has died at the age of 90. No just told me.

Happy birthday @gavroche !

Pet portraits are a very popular, gift, and, delightfully personal of course.

My artistic grand-daughter dabbles in creating pet portraits.

I used to carry an enormous bag of papers on my bike.

My bag seemed pretty heavy as well and I had a fair distance to cover also. There were also some stairs I had to climb. Who needs a gym?

More than dabbles! They are amazing.

I will do what I usually do in such circumstances. Make oatcakes.

Yo, on fleek.......no cap.

Don't diss me bro or I'll send the bruvs around... ya'll hear me now.

Thank you

Gets her "artistic genes" from Mrs @BoldonLad, not me

Does anyone know if the France - Ireland game is being televised as I can't see it listed anywhere?

Not on until 9 for some reason. Never known it so late?

Don't you start.......I was just complaining yesterday about the modern habit of starting every sentence with So! Does my head in. Lol.

Don't know if you ever watch Pointless but it goes something like this when Alexander Armstrong introduces each contestant.

Welcome to the show, and what do you do for a living. "So, I'm an accountant". And what do you like to do in your spare time? "So, I like to read, watch films, etc".

Doesn't make a bleeding bit of sense to me.

So.. I dont watch that prog tbh as it does nothing for me but I do agree with your comment.
I sometimes catch the last 2 minutes when I switch over for the news. The closing comments, which are always the same, sets my teeth on edge.
