The Retirement Thread

I don't go there either.

I went there once, very innocently, on a CTC forum. WOW! WOW! WOW! I sneaked out never to return.....

Now come on. Own up. You've nowt to do and want a bit of entertainment

I’ve resisted even trying tubeless. Shouldn’t tempt fate, but it’s been ages since I had a visit so feel it’s just a lot of faff for something that hopefully continues to only happen very rarely.

You didn't consider an outer tubeless tyre and inner tubed? You could then bin the tubeless and ride home on the tubed.

That's genius that is!

I must own up to feeling a frisson of excitement and just a tinge of guilt when I think about silky latex rubber, but that's what a strict Catholic upbringing does to a man.

I take it you're running latex tubes?

If I did I’d be saying three Hail Marys every time 😉

I'm sad to report that my trusty Jig Saw handed its notice in this morning with immediate effect, after more than 15 years of faithful service the mechanism that held the blade in self destructed. After a valiant attempt to fix it I decided the best course of action was to consign it to the B & Q recycle bin and buy a replacement.

Electric hammer for light nails thrown in the bin!

I bought this a while back, but I do have a lot of Worx products so I can swop the batterys around

Tried for carers and got an emphatic no!!
If needed I could pay for care but I prefer to know they are qualified.

I retired from Hospital Social Work fourteen years ago I was not employed by the NHS but the County Council My job was to asses the patients carers care needs referrals came from consultants OTs nurses and request from carerI would also advise on benefits

Private sector became more involved Councils involvement in home care became less.Eventually SW was with drawn from the hospital the private sector taking over.

At the time patients carers were of right entitled to an assessment of need. Weekly multi disciplinary team meetings were also an essential resort in identifying care needs
It sounds as if times have changed not always for the best by some of the reports I hear

I sincerely hope you and MrsD7 get the assistance you need.

Quite frankly ,I am shocked and appalled that you think I am capable of such an underhand act. ..............

Mrs D looks like shes joined the taliban, as she emerged from the shower with a black towel wrapped around her head.

Good morning all.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

Click and collect day today.

I feel a little ropey following vaccine #2 yesterday, so I'll take it a little easy. Don't feel nearly as bad as last time though.w

Morning all .
Dry but looking dodgy here.
Knackered this morning as I really wanted bed last night but instead watched LIVERPOOL BEAT UNITED at Old Trafford My only task is to go and get some'stir fry' stuff as that will be our lunch.
Apart from that I have no idea.
