The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

I might wander round to the Co-op soon. Maybe should take my specs this time so I can buy frozen broccoli instead of the bloody spinach I lifted by mistake last time!

Morning Should really put this in mundane news My first thing in a morning ritual is as follows

Get up
Have a cup of tea
Switch on I pad go into cc
Prepare breakfast three Weetabix doesn’t really take any preparation
Read the retirement or mundane news thread while drinking my coffee

You will have noticed toast and Marmite are not on the breakfast menu.I can hear a collective sigh of relief from all the Marmite haters

Have a great day

Thank God. Between marmite and that disgusting fish roe stuff! Mind you, the spinach I tried was pretty too. Won’t make the mistake of buying that again.

We eat barrow loads of spinach. Potatoes, spinach, onion, garlic, corriander and cumin. Hmmmmmm.......died and went to heaven.

I like all the others, just not the spinach.

I was thinking about asking the Haggis makers of Scotland to produce marmite flavoured Haggis

Did you cook it to mush, It only takes one minute.

You realise that Popeye was an early attempt at getting kids to eat their greens!

It's all to do with the placement of the decimal point in the wrong place.

One question from me before I turn in...

I have realised that for some reason I really don't enjoy drinking tea after midnight. I love it from when I get up until about 10 pm but after that it starts tasting odd, as if the milk is slightly off even though it isn't. It is semi-skimmed milk.

I can't figure out what is going on. Has anybody got any ideas?

I normally end up just drinking chilled tap water instead.

Anyway, that's me done for now...

Any medication taken slightly earlier?

I must be odd, I HATE onion (and Marmite), if I see lumps of it in anything it puts me off, that's why I tend to cook my own stuff so I can make it without.
