The Retirement Thread

We are currently staying about 5 miles away from the Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor.............it would be silly not to, wouldn't it.

I have very few good memories of school. I was most definitely NOT gifted and struggled to stay i the top set.......always at or around the bottom.
In the last year I won the class competition for who got the cane most.
I left aged 15 with not one qualification BUT was never out of work for more than a day or so (lots of work in the 60s).
I married and moved away in 1969 so unaware of any reunions.

That could almost be me , although I wouldn’t have won the caneing competition.

 

[Juan Kog]

Hell no. Never wanted to go to one.

Tell the truth you’ve never been invited to attend a reunion .

I never went to works nights out even when I was there, so certainly wouldn't want to meet up with many of them now!

Rained all night but went off just as I was getting up so got out for a wander. Did a double loop of the local riverside trail and never met a soul. Lovely.

Good night's telly tonight.

Heh heh!
The Inn is worth a visit….we stayed in “haunted” Room 4…..& the bar downstairs gave fair warning!

Coooeee. Lots of rain last night. Started around 9 and carried on all night.

It's really misty here at the moment.

My jobs for today are...... doing sod all

Stay safe peeps

Doing sod all is imo a much misunderstood art and should be applauded.

I'm pretty much an expert in doing sod all! I've always been quite a lazy person by nature I'm afraid. I can quite easily sit in front of the computer for two hours doing nothing in particular, but house work, gardening, etc...........erm, no thanks!

not sure if you ever said but which side of the bars where you actually on.
You can be honest Mo as we will stick by you.

Todmorden and Hebden Bridge had very different accents at one point. Not so much now with all the arrivals from elsewhere over recent years.

I was born in Loughborough Shepshed aprox eight miles away had a very different accent and with the older residents was sometimes difficult to understand

Good morning all, bright and breezy here. Had a good day of telly yesterday, what with the shinty and Strictly and 3 races on Eurosport, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Belgium. Today we have the final stage of Slovakia and the opening race of the Worlds, the mens tt.

 

[welsh dragon]

Odd weather. Blue sky and sunshine and rain . Very very fine rain.
