The Retirement Thread

God.......so it's not just in here then!

Hell no. Seems people want to complain and be sanctimonious and high handed just about everywhere. I feel sorry for people who just moan and complain the whole time. Surely they must get tired of doing it at some point.

My god. Handbags at dawn. I am a member of a sewing group on face book with people from every continent. One woman has a confederate flag as her profile photo and another member is up in arms about it.

You couldn't make this sort of thing up could you

Some of our friends in the States were in touch last night. Wanted to know if they could come here - two separate families, one east coast, the other west.

I'm not sure it was all a joke!!

[Dave7]

I used to use a football forum and it was exactly the same. I rarely go there but did a couple of weeks back. It's actually worse than here though it looks like the truly nasty people got ditched.

I just don't get it. Think I'll stay home today.

Can't remember who else it was on here that likes Susan Calman. New series tonight exploring in her camper van. Devon and Cornwall tonight. I will watch that.

Another nugget on the adoption of the Gregorian calendar from the letters to The Scotsman today. A writer states that taxes used to be payable on New Years Day and that New Years Day itself used to be on 25th March, the feast of The Annunciation. So when in 1752 most of the UK adopted the Julian calendar, shunting everything forward by 11 days, that meant that taxes were now payable on 5th April. Hence the 5th April tax year that we know to this day. QI

I look at a couple of LFC forums but there is no way I would join......the language is vitriolic .

Wow we are up to a massive 0 deg here.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Minus 3 now.

Morning all

Yay - it's Fish Friday.......although we have F&C on Friday lunchtime, and our local chippies are closed!
Got to go to Barnstaple for some shopping, so will drop in to the Pilton Fryer on the way back.

Apart from that, it's Groundhog Day ....... again.
