The Retirement Thread

A bit confusing at times. If I start to reply to a message on my phone and then switch to my Laptop the text remains “ persistent “ and I often find several quoted bits in the same message that might not be relevant 🤔

It always does that no matter what device you use. You either have to finish it or delete it.

Well I am deeply upset. Hurt to my core in fact. I filled the bird feeders up yesterday morning with fat balls and peanuts. I also got some millet hanging there. All that so MrsD could sit and watch our feathered friends. Yesterday......nothing.
Today....... one single sparrow.
Upset is not really a strong enough word

Anything in the days before for them?

To make doubly sure you don't get in trouble it might be best to set fire to it Dave. Perhaps you could wrap it in a bit of paper prior to lighting it, just in case the neighbours spot it and dob you in. 😎🚬

Lol, very good!

I’m quite fond of afternoon tea and am aware of the difference of opinion vis a vis what goes on first. I’m sure all parties agree that first the scone is cut in half and each half buttered. To my mind jam should be the next layer as it spreads easily on the buttered scone. Then put a dollop of cream on top. You cant spread jam on cream, it’s structurally unstable ( unless you’re from Yorkshire and it's just a scrape of cream) 😉

I am sure Dirk has already corrected you but butter is not required......it is a definite no no.

 

[Dave7]

The argument about what comes first either jam or cream is easily solved. Put jam and cream on your scone. If someone puts the jam on first then the cream and you prefer it the other way, simply turn your scone over. Sorted, the cream will be on top and the jam underneath.

Until it slides off onto your freshly washed bloomers.
Nah..... a typical welsh idea that is never going to work

We moved all the bird feeders from the house as they were attracting vermin. Moved them into the field and sod all birds visit them now. They can jog on now

I would have butter and jam, but don’t fancy butter if I was putting cream on.

They need some lubrication to help them go down.

TBH......my mind has been elsewhere recently so they have been neglected somewhat.
I think it will take time for word (chirps) to spread.

But butter and jam is not a cream tea.
You need cream for a cream tea

That is were the wine comes in
