The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Good morning all, my mate who had a birthday recently had his birthday ride yesterday, He got together with a a group of friends and family and rode 80 miles to celebrate him turning 80.

Pity it wasn’t 2 Feb he could have dedicated the ride to me.Well done to your mate

I'm sure I could reply to that but I will desist! Don't want banned.

You can pm me if you wish.......in the sure and certain knowledge I would never copy and paste it for all to read.
You can trust me....I'm a scouser

Our granddaughter slept over on Saturday night which is always great fun although it does get a bit exhausting as she's constantly on the go. Mrs Tenkaykev gave her a bath, washed her hair and got her ready for bed, granddaughter said " can I have my " Bedtime Biscuit and some milk now "? We asked what biscuit she usually has and she replied " A bedtime biscuit " so we got her a glass of chocolate milk and a low sugar Nairns Chocolate chip biscuit.
When our daughter came to collect her yesterday we told her how we'd made sure she had her pre bed milk and a Biscuit, to which she replied " Biscuit? what biscuit? she never has a biscuit before bedtime" There you go, conned by a three year old 😂

Why? One of my favourites.

One bound for the middle east, double wrapped, foil then paper. They've changed the recipe since, and all are made to the one recipe.
My arm ended up looking more like a leg in size.

Seriously 24 hours later and the schedules are still being changed?

I did think the BBC 1 live reporter was doing a good job. I was a bit gobsmacked to turn to BBC 2 and find the channel had a separate live broadcast. That was ridiculous.

There has been a lot of discontent with the BBC about this, and rightly so.

I think it would have been appropriate and proportionate to have given BBC 1 and Radio 2 over to it for a day or two, but denying licence payers the choice to switch to other BBC stations was wrong.

Viewer/listener numbers plummeted and complaint numbers soared so lots of people clearly feel the same way.

Good effort!

I am setting myself a much easier target. Try to do at least one 100 mile ride a year until I am 75. Beyond that I might switch to 100 km (62 miles), and eventually 50 miles, and finally 50 km (31 miles). If that becomes too much, I will buy an e-bike!

I'm toying with the idea of doing 70 miles on my 70th

Frightened of asking but here goes...... how do you know that ?
I am already sorry I asked
