The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Channel 5 wasn't working here the other day. I tried to get it using 4+1. To my astonishment that didn't work. Bloody technology.

Morning Harry. You in the bath yet? Want to to nip round and loofer your back?

Hi Drago ... it's me Monkers. I think you meant to send that to your boyfriend? Don't worry, it's cool, I won't tell anyone.

Why not?

 

[Drago]

Gary Gritter was a favourte of mine.

 

[Mo1959]

Why not?

It’s quite amusing. Wonder if they do the same down there?

 

[Drago]

Aye, we have Grit Eckland, Brad Grit and True Grit roaming the streets of Poshshire.

Mind you, wr also have the Poo Lorry in these parts.

 

[Mo1959]

We have sun and blue sky at the moment but still below freezing.

Any good film recommendations?
I enjoy good Westerns, War, Spy, Factual, Documentaries & Comedy genres.
I can access pretty much any film or programme for free.
What ya got?

When Drago met Harry?

Not round these parts.
Drivers get a warning if they're caught with a nameplate, their name, on display in the cab.

@Dirk
Hellfighters, based on Red Adair.
The Cowboys
American Sniper
Hacksaw Ridge
The Desert Rats

Hacksaw ridge is good.

And if they don't heed the warning they get a boot in the gritter.

Wife has commented that I should really not go out on my bike today

local weather stations are reporting temperatures just above freezing but feeling like -1 to -3

and snow where it is shady

I think she is worried I will fall off and break something
not because she is worried I will hurt myself - more because last time I did that I was prowling round the house like a caged bear for 6 weeks before I could go out again

so probably another non bike day

Thanks for the film recommendations.
I must say that I've seen all of those mentioned apart from Hell or High Water.
Might watch that this afternoon.
