The Retirement Thread

[gavroche]

Our lockdown finishes tomorrow, but English people can't cross the border still as we don't want English Covid to contaminate Wales.

@PaulSB, can we leave principalities out of your question?

Yes.

@oldwheels I see your man has just won the Cyprus open golf.
Robert Macintyre from Oban.
£200K in his back pocket.
Seems a nice young man. Good for him.

Oban is another world to us. Just a place with shops and hospital.
I don't play golf and have never heard of the guy I am afraid.

I miss the zoom capabilities on my old SLR. The picture below was on the max zoom for my phone and as usual my thumb is obscuring the top. If you look very carefully in the middle of the pic you can make a little herd of pronghorns. They are brown and white. This was on a dog walk the other day. They really are there.
Covid stupidity in the Dakotas has reached a level it is hard to believe. If only the ones who will die were those who took no precautions. BIll Maher used to talk about "magical thinking". Bleating the same wishful thinking repeatedly and loudly doesn't make it so. Some of the people in Wyoming are just about as stupid.
Be safe, be careful and carpe diem.

Plenty of axle grease sorts that out

and how would you know

Mega steak & ale pie, chips and veg on the menu tonight.

Doesn't the lead lining in the Y-fronts cause chaffing????

Not for a man like @Drago

 

[classic33]

Yes.

Well that's the movie question answered.

Which one?

@12boy you came to mind** while I was digging out my compost heap and spreading the contents on my raised beds.

You talked about your root trench a couple of times. Is this a trench your taking out in preparation for root vegetables? Or is it one your digging to prevent/control tree roots?

** Before you lot start this is because we both grow a lot of veggies. 😄

 

[Drago]

Indeed. My y fronts were originally lead lined, but the scratchings were so gritty they wore the lead away. Ive been warned by Kofi Anan that they may breach UN resolutions on the control of biological weapons and I ought to encase them in depleted uranium. I did, in fact, consider doing so, but couldn't fiqure out where the lead ended and the fabric started.

Is it? I'm waiting...........😄

Is it? I'm waiting...........😄

No in-laws involved.

 

[PaulSB]

No in-laws involved.

Very good..........bonus point for that😄
