The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

I would struggle with 'target fixation'...

A stunningly beautiful tanned young French woman came up to me on a beach in Corfu and asked me the time. She was wearing only the tiniest of thongs (and might as well not have bothered!). I had a titanic struggle to maintain eye contact and then to avoid turning to watch her walk on up the beach. I'm not the ogling type so I resisted but the instinct to do it was very powerful...

Over the years I have noticed women struggling to keep their eyes off my body, especially when I am wearing my thong.
It's something I learned to live with.

Snow, rain and some wind today. High almost 4C. Better than tomorrow for riding, though.

It's been a nice day here in parts of the UK. Here in Hertfordshire it has been quite mild and sunny, other parts of the West country have had floods and really high winds.

Talking of eggs, how long to you boil your eggs for? I put mine in when the water is boiling and time it for 9 minutes so that the yolk is not hard but still soft but not runny.

I put eggs in cold water and when it boils give it 5 minutes. Done.

Cold water, bring to boil, 3.5 minutes, rinse under cold tap when done. Put bread in toaster just as the water boils...................perfection.

A "What killed the cat question".
What were you wearing, whilst allowing various women to wear your thong?

No.....no, no......I was wearing the thong.

No.....no, no......I was wearing the thong.

Thought it seemed odd. You going up to someone you'd never met before and handing them your your thong.
Didn't the advert run along the lines of "When a man you've never met before suddenly gives you flowers... ".

Was that a gun in your pocket or........

If it is this version...



... then - sorry - not to my taste at all!

The Roberta Flack version though...



NOW we're talking!

I like both versions.

Basics - I don;t really like eggs unless scrambled - by me - or as an omlette

anyway
some years ago I worked in an office and someone commented that £person couldn't boil an egg
so I asked - how do you boil an egg?????
simple question - apparently
6 people in the office - including me
5 different answers - all authoritative and the only possible way
some involved a needle
some need water starting from cold
some from boiling

so - we went went out and ask some women - yes I know

basically some different answers

so I ended up with about 8 different answers - all clearly the only way to boil an egg




soooooooooo

many years after that I met my wife
she has a method of boiling an egg based on actual data

put egg in cold water
boil water
wait for e.g. 5 minutes
take egg out using a slotted sppon and WATCH
if the water eveporats in 5 seconds then it is JUST hard boiled - which is how she wants it
if it takes longer put it back for 1 minute then try again


THIS WORKS

if you want it soft boiled or something then the initial time and evaporation time will vary - just work it out for yourself

but "she/he can;t even boil an egg" is simply stupid - everyone wants it different - and there are different ways of getting it there

Have you tried boiling an egg without using any water?

There are at least two reasons to struggle to keep your eyes off someone...either because you don't wish to showcase your lechery, or because there is a physical deformity at which it is rude to stare.. when my brother in law would go to the lake to exhibit his Speedo which was somewhat hidden by his drooping paunch, people did not avoid looking at him because he was too sexy.
Glad I eventually got off my ponderous buttocks and got a few miles in on my bike. I was feeling lethargic and grumpy but now it is only a little sullen.
Stay groovy....
