The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

Your posts seemed innocuous.

In those other threads, there is no such thing as innocuous plus, being sensible and reasonable is not acceptable.

Good morning fellow retirees,
It’s great to be able to live vicariously on this forum while I wait for the lurgy to shift.
There’s such a diversity of experiences and surroundings, and a fair bit of wit and wisdom😁
I ventured into the back garden yesterday and planted some garlic, I’m planning to venture out in a few days, once the course of antibiotics is finished.
Have a peaceful day folks

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.

Thanks for letting us know, we liked watching the secret Scotland series. Not very secret after its been on national TV though. Last night Mrs JK insisted on watching some dog grooming competition programme.
dress making, cake baking , pottery and don’t get me started on strictly b*****y dancing. What next . ?
That’s a rhetorical question any ideas keep them to yourself. Please.

If you have Netflix, we found “Death to 2020” quite amusing.

Language a bit strong, if that bothers you.

It was recommended to us by second youngest daughter (46). She has been put on the naughty step, for watching films with swearing in them.

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.

There must be some weak people about, get tired of moaning and complaining, NEVER!!! It's what keeps me sane.

I can't be arsed. Its too much like hard w**k and I don't want to waste what time I have left doing it. There are other things I'd rather do.

Detest all these programmes. I caught the end of the dog grooming one when I switched on for Death in Paradise. Yet another of these stupid programmes where they get judged, with the usual pregnant pause supposed to create suspense before the winner is announced, then they dissolve into floods of tears

...and I ask the jury to refer to my previous comment.

The BBC are getting desparate. The only programmes they seem to have nowadays are strictly dog grooming baking dance off on ice crap.

Must be enough saddos out there that watch them or they wouldn’t keep making them.

It's nice to find a place like this where common sense and maturity reigns (mostly)

Round here we have no snow and the forecast has gone from heavy (?) snow for a few hours to light for 1 hour in a bit

seems warmer than yesterday - not even ice on the car windows

This is the problem with the BBC, their funding model is such that they do not have to actually succeed at attracting an audience.

Common sense? You jest surely. No one here has any common sense, well accept for Mo and I. Everyone else are a nutty as fruit cakes.

 

[pawl]

Possibly. When I get the morning milk in I wash the bottles before we use the milk!!!!

I'm afraid the cycling Stasi make me very cross. The self-righteousness is astonishing.

Wow.You can still get milk in bottles Not seen a milkman round my neck of the woods for yonks.

I have been called worse, I will take that as a compliment, thank you
