The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

I am watching a programme on BBC2 about the River Tay. Not sure if it’s just on up here.

I’ve taped it. My viewing this evening was mostly Strictly. Then we watched Susan Calman taped from yesterday I think. Made us want to visit Lewis and Harris again. Been a long time since we toured there.

Mo, what were you up to around 16:23:10.5, approximately, today!

Morning all, they are putting up scaffolding on the front of the flat now, I don't know what for they never tell us anything

What'd you do if they did tell you?
Although, if it's major work they should have informed you. Common decency demands that much, the law demands much more.

A question for you oldies.
No cheating......no google.
The song 'Hear My Song Violetta
Who sang the original hit ??.
One clue.........there are only a few on here that will recall the actual song in the charts.
BTW, if you are won It was played while I was dosing in bed earlier

You've had a raffle and we're the prizes!!

Willing to bet it’s not on Spotify either I remember my dad playing it on the old grammar phone now called record players Wow I’m not a dinosaur

You loose the bet.

Oops, I’ve just bought another bike

Had a hankering for a comfortable titanium frame and this seemed like a good price. Happy with rim brakes as I find it easier to source and fit wheels and find the brake pads less faff than discs.

That’s a great oops . Lol . You will not regret it . My wife bought me a titanium van nickolas Ventus for my 50th birthday. It only has scram apex as a group set and I have a Rose bike with a much better campag group set but it is still my favourite bike ever. There is something about how it rides and how copes with British roads that makes it very special. It’s like top quality steel but better . No aluminium or carbon frame I have ever ridden has ever given me the same feel, it feels alive some how . Sorry for gushing lol. I really hope you love it and it you don’t love it, please give me first refusal when you sell it because I am married to some one that would really love it 😀😀😀

Morning all, I also watched the program about the Tay and also the Susan Calman one last night, love that area having stayed on the side of Loch Tay a few times at Killin, I really want to see more of Scotland soon, hopefully. I have been up to JOG back in 1996 when my eldest was part of a 8 person team that took the end to end relay record.

Morning again. Not long back from an early 6.4 miles run, nice hot bath had and just plonked myself down with my cereal.

It is chilly out there with a bit of wind making it feel even colder. Don't notice it when you're running though, unlike cycling at this time of year.

Morning all .... nice to see you all. TBH I am grateful to wake up and see anything these days .
I am feeling a bit better today which is good. Nit sure if I am up for a short walk later......I will see how it goes.
No rain forecast today and its quite mild for the time of year.
Not everyones taste but there is plenty of sport on tv.......for me thats mainly footy and the golf from Joburg.
