The Retirement Thread

Yorkshire, ay.
The same, not by a long shot. 'Huddersfield is slightly south of me, on't t'other side of M62.

But surely you inter breed with them from on't t'other side ?

You need to seal your boxes better if there's dust getting in.

It's the box that gathers the dust! But I'll have a check next time I'm up in the loft! Thanks

I really hope I haven't touched a nerve with some. That wasn't my intention, I was having a laugh at myself too. About the things we do.

I thought they built the M62 to stop that sort of thing??

kinda like God built the Pennines for similar reasons

I'm not talking of Isle of Mann TT-like trophies that rightly take a pride of place somewhere in the house, I'm talking of the other, lessor stuff that we collect along the way and just stick in a box to gather dust.

I've got boxes and boxes of trophies, from short circuit races, up in my loft.
Must get around to figuring out how to display them.

I've a few 10km medals and certificates lying around. There were a bit of effort put into gaining tgem, even if they were done just for fun.

T'were built to aid Border Control. Reinforcements can get there quicker if needs be.

Yes, I know I was just gently mocking the curious behaviors of we humans. I don't know about you, but I only ever look at the such stuff when I'm shifting old boxes around - which is rarely. The rest of the time, it just gathers dust.

Mrs Tenkaykev has kept this and gets it out if her son, now in his late forties, starts to bemoan the lack of any significant achievements in his life. 😁

A space hopper trophy! Love it!

Not sure what what to do with my trophies**
**make that 'trophy' as I only have one and that is for a monthly medal at golf.
I didn't even get a certificate for 10 mtr breast stroke

Why is there a picture of a man with an unfeasibly large scrotum?

When I used to frequent the M62 I often saw creatures with one eye, 4 ears, 2 noses etc.....I assumed they were cross bred

That's unfeasible ???

They were trying to get to the promised land, in the east.
