The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Interesting that you can say shite but it automatically corrects the same word with the e missing from the end to shoot!

Yes you can say shite but not sh*t

Ahh.....I never leave food so don’t understand these problems!

Me too. It is like “left over wine” you sometimes see in recipes, what’s that?

It happens when you finish the first bottle and 'fall asleep' before the next bottle is empty. The next morning you have to put one of those stoppers in the bottle - which explains what those are for as well

Morning all........ it's Tuesday well that what I read on my pill box, when your retired days and time are meaningless

Funny how "Shite" is acceptable. Being of Irish stock I've been called a "Gobshite" on numerous occasions and regard it almost as a term of endearment...

We now have a massive 2 deg and feels like -2

Good morning all.
A bit late to the party today, although I have been awake since 7.

It's cold and icy out side where the residue of the snow has frozen over.

Out with the dog soon and then more domestics.

Another day in paradise

Good morning folks, I'm still in bed, its still very dark and cold, but I've had a look out the window and we still have snow on the gound, I'm on my own this morning, which feels strange, my Good Lady has had several falls, she fell in the house twice yesterday, so she's gone into hospital for an assessment.

Sorry to hear that .Wish her well

I remember many moons ago a product called Cona Coffee. A prototype sports racing car used to carry this advertisement for Cona Coffee in big broad letters on both sides of the car in European races. The category of sports racing cars of this particular car were organized to do a series of races in South America during the European off season and the whole grid of cars was shipped ( by a ship) to South America. When the car was rolled out at Interlagos ( between the two lakes ) racing circuit in Brazil there was consternation and hilarity from the locals when the car started exploratory lapping of the track . "Cona" ( in Portuguese ) is the slang word for the female genitalia and equates exactly to the english 4 letter slang word starting with C for the same part of the female anatomy. The team could not understand what was going on , even the driver spotted from the cockpit something was amiss. The car was hastily sprayed over . True story I kid you not

Back from a very wet walk to the village for a newspaper.

Had a wander to the Co-op for a few things. At least 70% of shoppers walking against the direction arrows then the woman behind me comes within a couple of feet and starts loading her shopping. I held my tongue as I find it hard to say anything, but also have a quick temper if she had complained so best just to ignore.

A newspaper..... what is that strange thing you speak of

 

[Mo1959]

I’ll never lose weight. Sitting eating a big bag of cheese and onion crisps! When I was walking home I see Maddie along the road sitting on her turbo trainer making me feel even more guilty

Crikey just watched a programme about the Pandemic and Pangolins on PBS America. Bloody depressing it is.
