The Retirement Thread

A question for you.
If they get a tin of straight spaghetti how do they join the ends to make hoops?

They join the ends before they put them in the cans.

Hang on.
I have Sterlo telling me they grow on different trees and tbh that sounds reasonable.
Now you tell me they join the ends But don't say how they join them.
Who am I to believe??

Beautiful out there this morning, a totally clear blue sky, wonderful.


Not for me, I hear there is a woman that comes and goes at odd hours, often early in the morning.

Does she wear prison warden uniform?

Always believe the other person.

They solder the ends of spaghetti together then put them in the tin.

Then whilst in the tons the steel "takes up" any solder that wasn't used in the joining process.
Result, nice clean joints, and no messy solder to have to strain out before heating & eating.

Make sure it is real spaghetti because there is fake spaghetti hoops around

it is an impasta

And an inpasta is what you get when neither side agrees with the other.

I wouldn't trust anyone who believes anything I say

Salut. Been very busy today. I put the partition up and bought an internal door for £10. I will put that up tomorrow. I need to order sheets of plasterboard now too . I can't do plastering so will pay someone to do that. Then, I will put down the laminate and finish off with the skirting.
When it is all done, we will have a sitting room at the front of the garage with a bed sofa and a little workshop at the back to store my bikes.
Really tired now but glad it is progressing well.

No kitchen or bedroom.

I guessed she might be someone you knew.

Re SPs.
Things have possibly changed but.......
I retired aged 63 (nearly 6 years ago. I had worked since 15 so no probs.
MrsD had only limited contributions but they took into account looking after young children and later her poorly Mum.
Then it was a question of maths + a crystal ball eg how long would she live Vs what it would cost ie to pay for. 10 years would cost £x then it jumped up considerably.
So, finger in the air and then "pays your money and makes your choice". As things turned out we chose well.

Blimey, I thought you were a lot younger than 68, same age as me.

Some kind of Lidl haddock fillet and a few oven chips for dinner tonight, and I enjoyed it.
