The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

But that IS my problem.
I strap it to my leg with duct tape.

I tuck mine in my socks, one on each side.

I used to know someone very similar. She told me that she got terrible backache from the weight pulling her forward. I don't know what became of her - we lost touch about 40 years ago.


Good luck with it!


Do you bend the end back on itself, or just put up with standing on it from time to time?

Tuck it in my sock

Maybe he’s talking about his “ Plums” The other equipment is wound around his waist above his Y fronts.

 

[Drago]

Aye, one plum in each sock. I roll my love lolly around my leg, 4 or 5 turns usually does it. I just have to make sure I don't see a pretty lady or I suddenly start goosestepping.

That's why I wear prescription orthopedic underpants.

This thread is getting worse.

Good evening all.
A very pleasant afternoon at the Mitre.
4 ales on, and a good sized but well behaved crowd supporting Gary the landlord.
Now listening to Spurs v Everton on the radio.

I watched seasons 6 and 7 with my (now) bubble pal in pre-Covid times. Before watching season 8 we went back in time to watch seasons 1 - 5, which we completed a couple of weeks ago. We decided to watch 6 and 7 again and are now part way through 6.

We like the program, though the frequent gruesome crime scenes would not appeal to many people!

Everybody did look so young in the first couple of seasons but they are starting to look more world-weary by season 6.

The picture quality in the first couple of seasons was awful! It looked like somebody had shot the show on an old domestic camcorder... I had to adjust the controls on my TV for it, and that is the only time in 5 years that I have. It looks like their budget had quadrupled by series 3 because the production quality was way higher.

That's what I'm going to do watch the whole series again. I've finished the first one, going to watch second series later. It's such a good series.

Doc phoned. Blood work came back ok, so I don't need to go into hospital, which is a relief. She's given me a list of symptoms, and if any occur over the weekend I'm to go straight to A&E.

8 days until I go in for an exploratory procedure, whereupon i should discover if its bad but fixable, bad and not fixable but manageable, or bad and I should find a priest.

Sorry to be a bit cryptic, but I don't want to cry wolf and I don't want to worry friends on here (and i do have a couple, although I have to pay them!) unnecessarily. Just over a week and I hope to be abe to give you all a proper explanation. As of right here and now im a bit uncomfortable, tired and a bit run down feeling, but im in decent spirits.

Decent spirits is very important. Focus on the best outcome so bad but fixable sounds good to me.......... speaking with a little experience.

Good luck!

Speaking of plums. I've covered mine every night for the last 10-14 days, they're looking good.

MrsD has had the date for her mastectomy......27th of this month. I am trying to APPEAR positive but she is scared and I do feel sorry for her.

sympathy - difficult for both of you

Look after yourself - remember she needs you to be well.
