The Retirement Thread

[rustybolts]

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

It must have been very hard

Good morning all.

Morning all

Just one more day to go and we will be party to the escape committee's plans.
One thing that really gets my goat is the Government announcing a date when they will reveal something, and then reading about the details of it in the media for days before the official announcement.
Why?
It happens with such regularity that it must be officially sanctioned.

Good morning folks,
Drizzle drizzle drizzle for a couple of days, but at least it’s not cold drizzle.
Granddaughter visited yesterday, we watched “Frozen” together, twice, followed by some of the very early Spiderman cartoons 😁. The Disney channel subscription was a real bargain, so much content for all age groups.
Nothing planned for today, probably give the Brommies a once over.
Have a peaceful day folks 👍

Like a Vampire at midnight, I have risen!

Cooeee. Dry start to the day here. Nothing planned for me, just another day slobbing.

Stay safe folks.

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

If you read back you will note that your wife's method and mine are virtually identical.
This leads me to a conclusion.
Either a) she is a smart woman
Or
b) she and I should be married.
Personally I go for a)

Testing the water or dampening/managing expectations in my view.

Yes, looking for the reaction or getting us ready.

I never just slob about.
I would rather stay in my PJs and do nothing

Good day. Light grey skies and the sun breaking through, no breeze. At 8⁰C it feels very mild.

I'll get my bike out at some point in the next 2-3 hours. Messaged a buddy to see if she wants to join me. If I don't get a reply by 9.39 I'll go solo.

I have other stuff to do but nothing I can't out off till tomorrow!

I must though get on with exercises, tidying and not spend another hour mooching about CC. Catch ya later, alligator, in a while crocodile!!

B is out - she has enough trouble with one husband - two would just be silly!

Have I gained a day ???
I woke up absolutely "knowing" it is Monday. Put the radio on to find it's Sunday ........how does that happen.

Heavy sleep last night. I keep waking before 0500 so getting up at that time. Someone must have clicked a switch as it was 0745 when I woke today .
As the days have decided to get mixed up I have no plans.

I 2nd that... I did suggest she is a wise woman.
