The Retirement Thread

I was very disappointed with the badge. At the very least I expected it to say "I have been a brave boy".

I didn't get a badge, or a lollypop

And the Doctors surgery tell me im 'high risk' because of my BMI. Never mind that im a lifelong weight lifter with a 52" chest and a 36" waist, in their eyes I'm simply a bloater.

Fitst jab booked for Friday next week.

Just grow a bit taller and your BMI will be fine

And you have not squeaked since

Come on .I know WD 40 is good but it can’t do the impossible.However I do have a water repellent chest

Morning all... Up a bit earlier that I would have liked, waiting for a builders delivery so I've got to be on the ball and ready when it turns up.

Speaking of ready, we watched a good film last night "I am Woman" it was all about Helen Reddy. I knew she was a great singer, but never realised she was such a great activist for womens rights.

Have a good day folks!

Another one worth a watch is Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice.

I'm not sure I want to.

The machine is doing the washing, but I'm supervising
May go for a walk later as the weather looks OK

You're not over weight just too short for your weight.

Well, dull and wet today so the most exciting I will be doing is letting the dogs out at my stepson's house later on and even then, one of the dogs will put his head through the door, notice it is raining so won't be bothered to go out.
I believe the Welsh minister is going to tell us what we can, can't do, later on TV, for the next 3 weeks or so. Oh, I will put £10 worth of petrol in my wife's car too since I am using it in her absence.

Me neither. I only got a leaflet with the date of the jab on it. I feel cheated.

My washing machine is never left unsupervised after one caught fire due to a faulty relay not letting water in but did not tell the heater to stop also. According to the fire brigade it is not uncommon for washing machines to go on fire.

Just one question.
Why do I have to wait till "later" for a glass of something

Because you asked at 10.14am. Now there's early, a bit too early and very definitely too early!

Unpacked and organised the furniture bits.

Seeing as several of you have been very good and not made a fuss. Here is a little project for you. You will need:

• A colour printer
• Paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Razor
• Probably spectacles

Here are your instructions:

• Find and download the image I posted of my badge yesterday
• Increase the badge size as you wish
• Print the image
• Cut out the badge
• Paste a generous amount of glue on the reverse
• If you have a hairy chest shave an area slightly larger than the badge
• Press sticky side firmly against chest
• Tidy up after yourself
