The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Jeez. Unless there’s more to the story, this sounds a bit excessive given what’s gone on in some areas!

Just watched the report on the English news, the two women certainly come across as credible and convincing. The English polis are looking well out of order. Glad we don’t have to deal with that sort of nonsense up here.

The news so far, took the Nytol last night still awake 4 hours later, maybe they don't work on a Thursday night I'll try again tonight.
Went shopping not many people about, got home and made six prawn curry dinners for the freezer.
Fish'n'chips and peas later for dinner.
and on the weather front no snow and 2.7c

Hungry freezer!!

When I do get vaccinated I’m rather hoping that the microchip that Bill Gates has ensured is present in every dose will enable the filling in my tooth to pick up radio 4 when I’m near a 5G mast...

Not a foreign spy transmitting to their controller?

Thank you. Love you too.

Why should we be the only ones to suffer? Spread it around a bit and they may get the message they are not all welcome to infest wherever they fancy.
To be serious just for a moment I was never a great fan of the tourist industry but after last summer I hate it with a vengeance. A large slice of my remaining life was removed forever.

Oh go on Paul dive back in . If nothing else it will provide your fellow retiree’s with some entertainment.

I have not had a G&T - that's a different discussion.

Caught up six pages of the How Local thread. Frankly I haven't got a feckin' clue what most of them are on about. With one or two exceptions it's hard to know who is arguing for what.

I think they are working their way through the word "reasonable" now, dissecting one letter at a time.

Given most of the posts, "reasonable" is a foreign land to them.

Keep up the good work.

No, it (the chip) will make you freeze, and go blue, you will have to be rebooted to continue

Something like this?

Minus 5 already! It said on the Scottish forecast that some of the sheltered glens could go down to minus 15 tonight.

I can guarantee every time I use our old printer that certain not nice words will be used, if there was an open window nearby I'm sure it would have been through it by now!

Our printer has a bit of a life of it's own.
Sometimes it won't print at all, but then several days later it will come to life of it's own choosing and print everything in the queue.

We have ghosts and fairies in our house as well........... little buggers use all the ink without telling me.

I am not cycling while there is still ice about, but once I do go out again I will think about how far to venture. I was a bit over-cautious last spring/summer but I can't afford to pay a £200 fine. That is about 15% of my available cash!

A 10 km (6.3 mile) radius of here would be pretty good. A 16 km (10 mile) radius would allow me to do some excellent rides. A 5 km (3.2 mile) radius would be a bit of a pain.

I’m sticking to my circular route aprox distance sixteen miles but none goes further than 10 miles from home One thing I may need to be careful about is going through Market Bosworth which despite being in Leicestershire Le postcode Bosworth has a Coventry post code CV.Now work this one out the council area is Hinckley and Bosworth Will avoid the centre of Bosworth

Make sure you put some antifreeze on your bike chain so it doesn't seize up.

Glad I'm not the only one who's lost the plot . It would be fun to post something controversial ,then a few pages later when the flack has died down.Post a view that totally contradicts the first post ,see if any one notices.
