The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

That'll be two more down in Devon. The heavens will open.

What, in Devon, rain is caused by wheels?

I just spotted this, which may be useful...

Women aged 70 or other with underlying risk factors such as high blood pressure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may also benefit from an ultrasound scan. You will need to ask a GP for a referral as women are not currently routinely invited for scanning.

As I enter my 87th year I am still surprised by the reactions of some people.
I objected to remarks made by another poster which I regarded at best as insensitive.
If I cause anybody to object to something I have said or done I apologise and if possible make amends and we can then both get on with our lives. I do not go off in a huff and blame others for my faults.
I am by some at least cast as the villain for a sensitive soul leaving the site due to my remarks which I fully stand by.
The real loser in this has no though given to him so far as I can see.
I refer of course to Numbnuts who has been having a bad time recently as anyone could see if they bothered to look.
Goodbye.

Give it a rest guys, please.

Oldwheels you have nothing to apologize for , nor has Numbnuts . Welsh Dragon said words to the effect " duck behind the couch " when Numbnuts was showing how annoyed he was over the terrible treatment he got from the bloody insurance company. The storm in the teacup was stirred when she went off in a huff. Dragons do huff and puff !! She got annoyed when you pointed out she wasn't showing poor Numbnuts much sympathy. I feel really bad for you and Numbnuts who told her ( quite rightly) to "woman-up". What happened to Numbnuts was a bloody disgrace . I hate insurance companies and banks with a vengeance , they are mostly soul less monsters.

Absolutely
This is a light hearted old farts thread.
I don't recall any rule saying we have to be perfect so we are allowed to say the wrong thing at the wrong time occasionally.
I echo Dirk's words.

Rules of Engagement
I will only speak when I spoken to
I will not say anything about my private life every again
I will not give adverse comment on any subject
When Mrs WD went missing for two days I did send her an invitation to come back, but I see she never said anything about that.

Over the last few days we've been wondering why everybody have been banging the door instead of ringing the bell, a quick look revealed that the bell push is missing, the back plate is still there but not the rest of it, theres no sign of it anywhere on the ground in the garden, I've spent half an hour rummaging round in the undergrowth, now I'm wondering, would someone have pinched the bell push? I know they'll pinch anything these days, but a bell push?

Check e bay might be up for sale

Yes on the first two, but it’s warm here so I have a cold drink.

Just hope we don’t get slaughtered and at least make a match of it.

If you feel that discussing a problem on the Retirement thread helps go ahead. Usually most of us are always happy to give help if possible

OK.
Souey** - great hero. Ex Rovers boss
Grant Hanley - was once a Rover
Mrs P

Think I'm going with Scotland. More connections than with England.

** Geez he looks disgracefully good for a man of 68.
