The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

They're not supposed to take more than one!
Are there any station staff there now, and are they aware of what's going on.

The only time there are staff in the tunnel by the Metro dispenser is when spot ticket checks are being carried out. When the waiting room is open on the Manchester platform there is someone up there in the attached ticket office.

Two weeks ago, keep up.

Who, what, when, where, why?

Who knows

They should stick a sign on them, "Take One Only".

I'm glad that has been cleared up!

Glad to have been of help.

Morning all

Yay ...... tis Fish Friday!
Doggie walking first thing, then off to Barny to fill the car up and pick up some shopping. Drop into the Pilton Fryer on the way back.

Looks as though they use a F. Ford.

Sorry, but stupid is as stupid does. A person's greed outweighs they're common sense and sometimes. They do get what they deserve.

I didn't!
Poor George popped his clogs before I could get the paperwork off him, and the transfer done.

His house, once empty, has since fallen down and been cleared.

I have just been watching old B/W films of various towns in France from 1895 to 1897 on YouTube. I find it fascinating but also depressing at the same time to think that all those people have led their own lives and are now all dead.
Time is relentless and stops for no one. Out of my 70 years on this earth, I can only remember brief periods of every decades and the old question of " Why we are here ? " will remain a mystery.
I would love to be able to travel back in time and see my ancestors, what they were doing , their life style and various important moments in history.
There is a theory that says that every thing has an end, including the universe. When that happens, it will start all over again and everything will be re-enacted exactly as now so we will all relive our own lives without being aware of it, and all this for ever over millions and millions of years.
I am not sure if I like this theory though as I don't really want to relive my own life although I must say I have had an easy time with no real hardship.
Enough of this now and time for a coffee.

Life is like a piece of string, it has a beginning and an end, we travel in life from one to the other.....

When I was a little boy sent to live in a boarding school in the southern ghats of India the school was about 7k feet above sea level and a nice place. We would catch little red crabs in the creeks, remove their claws and roast and eat them. They were good and the crabs grew new. Our dorm of 50 or so little boys reminds of famous literature....oh yes, "Lord of the Flies". We would use the groove part from tongue and groove boards in shop class to make little crossbows with safety pin points. These were employed in sneaking up on the high school kids making out behind the science building and shooting the guys in their buttocks before running for our lives. Charming little devils we were.
Took my Aged Pooch out for her walk today and is she slow..has sniff every bush and clump of grass for the spoor of those other dogs who were there earlier. I think of this as checking her tweets.
Be safe and well...

Good morning folks. Dark and this morning.

It is indeed. Sat in the conservatory listening to SoTS and the rain is drowning the sound out.
Woke up at 0300 with a violent headache ........you know the type that makes you think something is really wrong. I realised that yesterday I had (too much) alcohol and no water......silly mistake.
Taking MrsD for her swab, prior to her re-arranged operation. 25 mile round trip seems extreme but 'they' insist it is done there. Lets hope this op' goes ahead ok this tìme.

How does your dog feel about you checking what she's upto on Twitter?
She okay with you reading something that may be private?

As for those "crossbow's" post instructions on their construction, or I tell the dog you're checking up on her.

There's a local Ukelele band that plays at various Pub's Beer Festivals etc, they call themselves the "MotherUkers", a great choice of name 😁

I was always told "Never mix your drinks". Maybe there was summat wrong with the alcohol you drank.
Sounds Of The Sixties actually on, right time - right place this fine morn?

Best o'luck with the test and what'll happen afterwards.
