The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Let's not start on the poor haggis thread again, some people seemed to be offended.

Eh? Can't remember anyone being offended!

Maybe not offended but some people did seem perturbed.

Looking through lists of Burns’ work, one is called Cock up Your Beaver
https://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/robertburns/works/cock_up_your_beaver/

You're aware that Robert Burns never actually wrote the song "Auld Lang Syne". He copied an older song, inserting "Auld" where the original had "Old".

Jealous! I used to be able to sleep like that. Don't know what on earth has changed, but it's frustrating.

Don't be jealous as I was up at 2 and at 3 and at 4 and at 5........I just don't sleep even the Nytol didn't work I juat sleep when I can now.

It's lovely, but they can be slightly different depending on recipe. I like them quite peppery.

Excuse my ignorance but I have to ask What is a Clooney?.

@Drago tends to come up with all sorts of strange words. It must be the dialect they speak in his part of the world. You will get used to it after a bit. In this case, I assume a Clooney is either a cup of tea or coffee.

 

[pawl]

Slang for a coffee after the series of adverts featuring George Clooney.
Edit.
Welshie......you beat me to it

I’m just having a Clooney Not sure if a coffe pod qualifies as a Clooney

Catching a Haggis.

 

[welsh dragon]

Catching a Haggis.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to catch one

 

[Sterlo]

Catching a Haggis.

They've obviously never seen one, they're not a foot long, usually about 7.3/4"

Yes. Acceleration and braking will cause it to come off. This renders the vehicle unsafe for use on the road.

No.... .see above

 

[classic33]

No.... .see above

You are supposed to check your vehicle is roadworthy, before using it. It renders the vehicle unsafe, much in the same way having different air pressures in all four tyres does.

Nether have their own piece of legislation covering them, but fall under road worthiness.

The fact is....its not illegal, which was my question. Its only illegal if some comes off onto your windscreen or into the path of another vehicle.
