The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

T-shirts are for folded, shirts are hung or so my mother taught me.

Y fronts are stored between 2 asbestos sheets with lead lining.

A little ironing story and oh how times have changed. I left home at 18 but was close enough to pop home with washing. At 19 I moved hundreds of miles to college.

One day I needed a shirt ironing. I popped round to the women's halls and asked if someone would iron the shirt for me

One of the girls said "no but I'll teach you how to do it." I learnt two lessons that day and we became huge friends.

My kids all left home with the necessary life survival skills.

OK. I'm off. Probably back when it rains.

Rain on again and a bit windy after the nice day we had yesterday.
Stocked up with so much meat now {a swap deal} that I have had to fire up the standby freezer.
The pal I got this from was less than impressed with the Secret Scotland programme. They imported people like the racing driver from Lancashire and those on Staffa when there are people here who could do as good a job. Also being a bit of a purist and an expert on wildlife he disapproves of feeding the sea eagles for tourists as was not really evident on the film. The eagles circle around waiting on the boat appearing as they know lunch is about to be served in the form of buckets of fish.

I wonder if the use of mobile phones as cameras has greatly affected the sale of traditional cameras? I also have a Nikon digital SLR and hardly ever use it. Not planning on selling it though.
Good morning all by the way. A bit grey outside. We are having Molly's brother for a few days. He is coming at lunch time and his name is Harley. He is a lovely dog but very sensitive. He is frightened of fireworks,on the other hand, Molly couldn't care less.
Keep staying safe everyone.

I also have 3 pretty good cameras but find I use my mobile phone most of the time. It is easier and quicker to transfer pictures between computers by air drop rather than bother with memory cards.

Well thats mildly disappointing, credit card people want me to confirm income, I checked and the letter is genuine, I went to print out the forms and my printer is out of ink so I've got to get a couple of cartridges from somewhere.

Dull and damp here, what Mrs @BoldonLad calls a "frizzy hair day", so, could not convince her to join me on my 15 mile outing to bag "E" in the Cyclechat ABC of Saints Names Challenge. It did actually rain, when I was on my way home, and, I did get rather wet.

My first thought is..... why???
They have issued you with a card.
I assume you don't owe them mega bucks
Can't you tell them to take a hike ?

I wouldn't just trust a letter, give them a ring just to confirm.

It'll probably go through to 'Michael' in India who'll tell him that he's due a refund......

I've been for a 5 mile walk in the drizzel, yeah the one that make you really wet

What's a tumble drier, I iron everything if it's flat

You shouldn't iron towels, you reduce their drying capabilities.

I've had the card for a long time, I don't owe anything on the card, It's been clear for a some time and they are saying they'll drop my credit limit if I don't, but if this causes too much grief I may kill it anyway.

Ah I should have said "I don't iron towels"
