The Retirement Thread

[BoldonLad]

That was deliberate. The idea was to get people to quickly go with their gut feeling, not to suggest that those numbers are way out.

I was a bit shaken by how low the number is when I worked it out. A month doesn't really seem that long so to realise that average life expectancy in the UK these days is only about 950 months for males and 1,000 months for females is a bit scary!

Speaking as a male, who has already used up, 881 months, can we change the subject... please

Wonder what they were filming?

 

[Tenkaykev]

Are the two things connected?
As in did the first lead to the second.

I read it that Mr WD had got his chopper out, but I didn't want to say anything in case it got misconstrued 😋

Shocking even!

Yeah. Of course

Apparently, they were filming for a series called 'The Witcher'.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
Bright and sunny this morning with a little frost on the ground.
The first mug of tea being drunk as we speak, and listening to Tony Blackbum on the radio.

Good morning all.

 

[Dave7]

@Paulus ......I too am listening to Tony......but with a coffee.
Very windy during the night (no, not me) but its calmed down now.
I had a good kip. Got up at 0400 for a pee, as you do and felt quite good. Got back into a deep sleep and woke at 0530 feeling drugged......hope I come round soon.

Have you seen next weeks forecast? Tuesday is set to be 17° and thats in Warrington.
Dirk will be in his budgie smugglers which, I am told, is not a pretty sight.

Staggering isn't it.
BTW, as usual, some good music being played.
Helen Shapiro......when I was 14/15 yrs old I was in love with her. She never reciprocated though

Morning. Blue skies and sunshine here. A tad breezy though. We had some rain last night but it looks like today will be nice.

Supposedly lovely on Tuesday here at around 19 Feb. Wooohoo

Stay safe folks

Can I give you the latest on MrsD.
Re the breast cancer... again, this is not a plea for sympathy......it just helps me to put it into words.
she needs a full mastectomy.........not what we 'wanted' to hear but half expected.
They can't give radio therapy as she had cancer in that area 25 years ago and (new to me) you can't have it in the same area twice.
They can't operate yet, they say she is not strong enough......we are waiting for them to say what happens next.
She is surprisingly upbeat though.

Thanks for the update on Mrs D Dave. Glad she is upbeat in herself. Lots of hugs.
