The Retirement Thread

[monkers]

I heard a tale of a young man who once broke his foot. Apparently he is quite well known as something of a footballer, and if I remember correctly, his name is something like David Beckham.

Poor David, he couldn't play football, he needed a total of 57 days away from training. Being an active type with time on his hands he found new things to do.

The 57 days eventually passed. On his first day back, people noticed changes in his behaviour. He spent the whole of the first day back going around chanting - ''David Beckham, 57 days, Oh, David Beckham 57 days, David Beckham 57 days.

At the end of the day, he was called in by his boss, some chap called Alex somebody or other, to explain his strange behaviour.

Well said David, I did a jigsaw in 57 days. It said 2 to 3 years on the box.

Just for comparison Mo, what's your average time for completing a jigsaw?

Addendum: Never mind the above, get yourself along for an X-ray. xx

Forgive me Mo. I've skipped many pages. Have you had a tumble? From the bike?

When I can be bothered to wear a bra, I do it up back to front around my middle, then swish it round and pull it up 'n' over. So much easier. I started this when I busted up my shoulder the first time years ago; been doing that ever since.

MrsD does that

THE ANNUAL BBC television licence fee will increase from £157.50 to £159 from April 1, it has been announced.
April 1 this has to be a joke

Did you get your flat bedroom from IKEA? Was it hard to put together?

no no no
We have a granny flat that MrsDs mum used to live......hence the flat bedroom.

My mum finally agreed to have the Covid19 vaccine. She wasn't going to have it, but between myself and my brothers and sister she gave in. She says it didn't hurt, and she didn't have any side effects from it. Phew. Glad she had it done.

ColinJ,

I believe she is a woman. In this shot she is inbetween her brother and his wife, my sister in law. BTW, the Doc saId the markers have not gone up which is good news.

Anyone looking for stuff to watch on TV?

Last night, we watched about 4 episodes of Summer of Rockets, on Netflix, Mrs @BoldonLad enjoyed it, quite watchable is my verdict.

We have a recommendation from two of the daughters now for "The Drowning" on Channel 5 catch-up. Haven't watched it yet.

The Drowning is ok, the story is a bit implausible though.

Haddock fish cakes, chips and beans for tea tonight. Minimal cooking but it hit the spot.

It's still snowing, but we did have a grit lorry come down our road earlier. The first time for several years. The last time though the lorry was empty so spread nothing.

So Monkers and Mo......you have landed me in trouble.
I decided to experiment with the bra trick (just to see if it worked).
Went out into the garden to try it. Stripped off to make it easier and was trying to pull it up over my bits.
How was I supposed the know the woman next door was watching.
The policeman was nice and just gave me a caution.
MrsD wasn't so nice

I was a bit confused by that post... I think it should have been aimed at @Dirk !

Mrs 12's a bloke?!

 

[12boy]

Sorry ColinJ.

This thread is getting confusing and giving me images that I'm not sure are healthy

I think you may be right, at our age, perhaps, we should ration "bra talk", not more than twice a day, perhaps ?

Alternatively, we could enlist @Drago to increase the "Y-Fronts" references, to redress the balance?

 

[classic33]

No....not at all.
I only had one shoe on when I took that photo.

The bed is on a slope then.

Ended up watching an old Vera repeat as there was nothing else on. Hoping the forecast for heavy snow tomorrow isn’t correct. We are right in the middle of the amber warning area.
