The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Pan shopping is done. Bloody hell they are expensive if you want a decent one. It's cheaper to eat out every night!!

Postman is in a Cafe on a cruise ship off the coast of Alaska.This is the first cruise ever.it is also the last,this is crap.I am bored out of my head.Begin ripped off at every opportunity tax for this gratuity for that and don't ask about the ship company's attitude to a drinks and internet package.The only passenger missing is Dick Turpin.What a cooking error coming on this holiday,don't tell Mrs P she is loving it.

I can't think of anything more horrendous, holiday-wise, than a cruise.

Mrs SD could not be dragged onboard by wild horses.

Purgatory!

You have my sympathies.

Same here. Claustrophobic constantly surrounded by so many people. My ideal holiday would be a nice little cottage somewhere with nice walks and peace and quiet.

When I was wandering round the supermarket earlier I took a notion for Heinz Ravioli. I will have that on toast for lunch soon.

Eating isn’t the centre of my world.

Seemingly: unlike many members of this little corner of the CC parish.

I've never read so much food talk in my life.

Is food-focus synonymous with retirement I wonder?

Gets coat etc...

Have a lovely day all!

I am with you on that...... It sickens me to read those 'foody' comments.
BTW I have just had a pancake with sugar and lemon.
Later I will have cheese (blue and Brei) with crackers AND fresh strawberries.

We had sausage and mash. My brother had to have a tooth out this morning and a false one fitted. That was £250 he spent.

He said the Hail is so bad there that its actually trying to snow

We have rain and sunshine

Lots of my friends have been on cruises and love them. The nearest we have done is Dover - Dunkirk ferry, Newcastle - Amsterdam ferry and Plymouth - Santander ferry. Hated every boring minute, they were a means to an end. As for an actual cruise, to me, it seems like the equivalent of being in a floating workingmen’s Club. Purgatory.

I/4 pounder steak burger, mashed pototes, carrots, brusels and gravy

Never been on a cruise, so I don't think I'll bother now

There are cheaper way to catch legionnaires or food poisoning, and have sex with someone else's middle aged orange coloured wife.

Is this from experience, or, anecdotal? 😊
