The Retirement Thread

Gary Glitter liked Thailand.........

He went there for other reasons than the health care

Enjoying a week in Bangkok with my 19 year old Son. Thailand has never really appealed, but I’m loving it, what an amazing place. Our 5 star hotel helps!

I’ve seen lots an overweight older white western men with young Thai women, all a bit seedy.

Someone I knew (just because he owned a diy shop I bought from) moved there and lives with a young Thai girl. He is 80

We have the oldest 2 grand kids over night

More complicated than usual because the 7 year old - who is a little bit autistic (plus other stuff) has gone from refusing to have any breakfast

to now having to have 2 sausages and 2 rashers of bacon (plus Ketchup - he isn;t that weird) every day

luckily we had some sausages in the freezer so defrosted them last night

the oldest decided she needed a sort of bacon sandwich with extra sausage as well

I am however, rather worried about her - she wanted it with BROWN sauce
I think it may be genetic because SWMBO has bacon and sausages sandwiches with brown sauce
but it is still just plain wrong

Still - never mind - after tonight we will be better off as we are very likely to win the Omaze house this time- been sending them money for MONTHS now so it MUST be our turn to win

not sure if we should move to Surrey or just go there for an extended holiday and sell it

certainly don;t wnat to win next month as the house looks horrible - all floor to ceiling windows and it's in London!!!!

anyway - better kick the kids into some clothes before the parents turn up and think they like coming here becsause I am soft on them

(actually they never put a foot out of line because we are quite strict - but do it differently and don;t shout)


maybe drag them out for a walk bear spotting
there are a lot of bears around here - often at the end of a lead with someone holding them
I generally ask the kids to check if might be a dog

the 7 year old is starting to get too old for that - but due to his problems he is still OK with it
their younger brother loves it - although he does worry about the bears at time

anyway - better stop woffling and get something done

If you Google it there was a law passed in 1758 that made it illegal to have anything BUT brown sauce on a bacon or sausage butty. That law has never been scrapped.
Red sauce was a hanging offence.

I have had a shower. I have also pottered, ( not at the same time @classic)

Probably chicken and stuffing sandwiches today

Can I come over, best filling for any sandwich
I've got lasagna and strawberry cheese cake

I’ve got bacon in the fridge so might have a bacon sarnie.

Stuck the cycling on. Can‘t see it being as exciting as yesterday but you never know.

That is wrong

in many ways

personally I think I ought to get tax relief for looking after someone who has brown sauce on bacon butties - surely it is a form of illness???

My kids have said that I cannot go to Thailand, if you know my recent history you might understand why.

Well I won’t be rushing to buy Aldi’s bacon again. Full of water and salt. What a gunk left in the grill pan. Sometimes, it’s not worth saving money.

Very creepy, I am never sure who gets the best deal in that scene, I know a couple of guys who have been fleeced, but I also know of a guy who treats his Thai wife extremely badly.

Short term the bloke probably does, and then he funds the whole village and her crazy business schemes forever

I stopped buying bacon because of that reason, to be honest I haven't missed it
