The Retirement Thread

It was not my fault, I was fine at the time, but some hours later I've been as sick as a dog, I think it must be shock or something
I'll be alright tomorrow, just a bit gutted now

You're normally asleep at this time, so it's had some effect.

I think it's going to be a long night

Go for a walk whilst it's still dryish.

This bloody car is too complicated, I needed the internet to find out how to open the fuel filler cap
They don't give you a handbook with it FFS and just found out it's only 25 days old

Yep. When I got my 65 plate Astra there was no handbook BUT I could buy one for 35 quid.
I decided I didn't need a handbook as, any mech problems and its in the garage.
However, I cannot fully work the satnav eg 1. if its on at the same time as the radio I can't hear the satnav voice. If I turn the radio down it also turns the satnav down.
2. Once its on I can't turn it off without turning the radio off.
TBH I seldom use it but when I do it annoys me.
AND........
Her voice annoys me. She is forever saying "please" as in "please take the next left" etc. Why ???

NNs. My advice (from experience).
Both daughter and wife hit in the back (separate times etc).
In daughters case grandson came off worse and suffered for years.
MrsD got (what we thought) was a good settlement BUT 10 years later the spinal problems came back to haunt her.
So.......you are entitled. Go for every penny you can get. Believe me, they would not give a flying @#%*@ for you.

Morning gang
Good sleep last night. Night sweats were better and only had to change PJs once.

Been out for an early walk. Slightly warmer (or not as cold) today.
Now sat with my coffee while listening to our Tony with SOtS.
Have a good day everyone.

Good Morning all, yesterday’s rain appears to have passed on but it’s decidedly chilly, 4.4°.
Off to the supermarket shortly.

Morning. Just back a breezy bimble. 20 miles and it felt enough. My rides seem to be getting shorter these days. Pretty chilly even although it's sunny now. The Garmin said 5 degrees.

St Johnstone vs Hibs in the Scottish Cup Final this afternoon so I will definitely be watching that.
