The Retirement Thread

[Lee_M]

Morning all. Ignoring all the shenanigans I seem to have missed, it's a bit cloudy in North Wales, but looks like it will be hot later.

Managed my first grand Fondo of the year yesterday so today will be all about hobbling about in my brew shed.

Ever headed one when it's been raining during the match?
I can still remember the pain and the see the lace Marks on my forehead.

My mate headed one The lace caught his eye.He ended up in hospital with a nasty eye injury Luckily he made a full recovery.

Morning all...It's like a humid jungle out in the garden, glad I got the lawns mowed yesterday afternoon after my visit to the recycling dump/skip.

Just done a very gentle 30 minute spin just to keep the derriere saddle comfortable for when I start riding again.

Have a good day folks!

Good morning. My ears have been burning and I wondered why. I have not flounced. If I do that I will ask Drago the best way to do that, or I might just remember the veritable book that was once written when the biggest flounce of all took place.

I have not read most of the posts, but I have read what Mo said and agree with her. I am far too old to be told off by someone for what was a light hearted comment. This was supposed to be a light hearted thread but over the last few months that light heartedness has slowly disappeared , and clearly my attempts at jokes has fallen well short. I have no idea why it's happened, maybe Covid19 had played a part and because you lot have not been able to get out you have become more miserable ( a joke by the way ) I felt I had to point that out.

The comment the other day was it for me. I am still on CC and posting but I will leave you old farts to carry on .

Enjoy you're day

Speaking as someone who has more than once, inadvertently caused upset, through remark with light hearted intent…

Where ever you end up posting, good luck.

Hope you stay with us.

I am in deep shite. I need help, serious suggestions as to how I fix this.

Last week I accidentally put a pillow case in the coloured wash. It came out a very subtle shade of pink. I was forgiven.

Examining the ironing I seem to have repeated this feat with three items of Mrs P's clothing.

Help!!!!!!! 😢😢😢

We're off to look at a Roman villa this morning

Will you put an offer in?

I am slightly jiggered. 43 hillyish miles on an empty stomach other than a coffee is hard going. Trying to make it a leisurely spin but still managed to feel like hard work.

Enjoying breakfast now.

I am truly sorry you feel that way.that way.Personally I don’t feel the thread has become more miserable if I did it wouldn’t be the first thread I turn to while I consume my three Weetabix. Please come back.

You probably won’t read this as you are no longer participating on this thread
Best wishes from a defiantly old fart but not boring

Thought you had disappeared from the thread you are usually one of the first

Kudos to you 43 miles on my three Weetabix and a round of Marmite on toast would leave me feeling knackered

Morning all

@welsh dragon we need you in here to counterbalance @Dave7 - it's a Yin and Yan thing.

Never a truer word Dirk.

Got a ticket for my destination 🎶
( and a M&S meal deal, but that doesn’t scan)
Home later this afternoon, then I have the opportunity for a week on the razzle dazzle before Mrs Tenkaykev returns from Scotland 😁🥃🍺🍷

In hindsight I could have used “ my rucksack and Kindle in hand “ 🤔

With luck you will be banned from doing the washing.

Failing that, thank goodness we no longer have capital punishment
