The Retirement Thread

[Flick of the Elbow]

Watching an old NCIS. It’s back to the first series. Gosh, the actors look so much younger. Shows how long it’s been running!

Had to Google that. Never heard of it !

Spent the afternoon watching a surprisingly watchable Tour TT stage

We had a bit of thunder but the rain didn't fall. I'm watching medical detectives. When that's over, I have a wire in the blood recorded so I'll watch that

Sadly, I now have an empty bottle. Beinn Dubh from the Speyside Distillery. It was very nice while it lasted.

good thing it’s overcast, or it would be ugly out there.

Used to get that warm in the shop. No air conditioning, or airflow through the building.

Who won the election then? I ask as I don't have a TV licence so can't switch on to find out.

Ah well, us Whigs had a good innings. Only fair that the Peelites have a go now.

Has he fixed the NHS yet? Asking for a friend who has an appointment on Tuesday.

 

[Drago]

I though he was fixing the gangs and smashing the NHS? I lose track.

Night all, Beverley races for me tomorrow, only the second time in my life going to a race meeting.

If there's anything with john Joe O'Neill's name to it, put your money on that.

Yeah, I used to work in a shop like that. Some of the automated CNC machining centers would shut down automatically at about 105F as their internal sensors said it was to hot to hold the required tolerances ( bearing components ) so the old German guy would fire up one of the manual Bridgeport mills and keep working. Rumour had it he wore nothing under his tatty old shop coat…

Bridgport machines are a blast from the past.
