The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

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

Well I never knew that.

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

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

Fantastic voice A favourite of mine

I didn't get a badge, or a lollypop

That reminded me of one of my trips to get my bloods done, it was one of the periodic ones where they take an armful. After the phlebotomist had finished I asked, tongue in cheek, if I was entitled to a badge for being brave. She raised an eyebrow and drew a smiley face on the tape holding down the cotton seab 😁

As far as I know they haven't had their vaccine yet. I'm certain Wales and Scotland will be generous with badges and lollipops. Perhaps they should wait a bit?

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.

** cough! **

I bet you that somebody looked at your height and weight, did a standard BMI calculation, and decided that you are obese, not realising that you are in fact a lean wall of muscle...

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.

I was out on a ride with Littgull once and he said something very similar. He was a health & safety consultant before he retired so I took what he had to say seriously. I checked the figures when I got home... [LINK]

There was a 7% increase in domestic fires started by washing machines comparing the past two financial years, with 624 blazes caused by a washing machine in 2019/20 compared to 558 in 2018/19.

I got neither badge nor lollipop.

A friend had to go in for a repair to a previous op wound which was not healing. When he came round he was surprised at nurses coming round to have a look and then going away laughing. He discovered that the surgeon had drawn a flower round his navel. The surgeon was the daughter of his managing director and so knew him before the op.

Hopefully, using a biro, NOT in scar tissue!
