The Retirement Thread

[oldwheels]

Getting to see the local doctor is already impossible. You cant get an appointment, they won't speak to you over the phone, the only way people here can see any doctor is to go to A&E, so it won't make any difference round here whether we have doctors and nurses or not.

We are not allowed to go to the health centre unless with an appointment but speaking to a GP on the phone is no problem who then decides if he wants to see you. I hate phone calls like that tho' as I often cannot quite make out what they say. I have to wait for a call today sometime between 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock but since they now use my mobile number at least I can do something outside if need be. One problem is that I have an iphone 7plus which is too big for a pocket so not easy to carry. I did not choose this phone as I inherited it and got it free but otherwise I like it.

A question for you!!

When you go to the shops etc how many masks do you have with you ??
I normally take 2 but for today's Aldi dash I just took one brand new one.
Got through the door and BING the elastic went.
Fortunately there was a shop assistant nearby who went and got me one from their stock room.

I take 1.

I take 1.

Well may I suggest you take a spare from now.
Unless of course it's made from old bloomers with your normal knicker elastic in which case it will be indestructible

I have schrodingers mask. It's in my pocket until I get to the shops and then its not in my pocket. 🤔
Buffs are a good standby worn around the neck, and can add a touch of elan, especially if made from Welshies bloomer material 😁

Two I wear one and always have one in the car as a "just in case" I don't have the elastic ones, velcro at the back of the neck I find more comfortable.

I rarely venture any where that requires a face covering, but when I do I have one mask and an emergency back up,buff in my pocket.

Dam right. They are bomb proof.

I tried using my used Y fronts as a mask, but fell into a coma. That was in 1902, and I awoke in 2013.

I see they have put footie on TV tonight.........only a friendly England match, yet they don't televise the Scotland vs Serbia match which is a Euro qualifier.

 

[postman]

My Y fronts are being surgically removed by a surgeon using blacksmiths tools.

Mr Drago Doctor will see you now.
