The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

G'day Cobbers.
Quiet day today.
The curry wat as ow I made was a real success, very tasty. A bit Rogan Joshish.
A question........
What is the Itv4 equivalent of bbc I player ??

Yep, ITVX. It's nowhere near as good as iPlayer.

I use the reminder app on my phone, handy for location based reminders too. Things like " Siri, remind me to do xyz next time I’m in Poole ". Bus pulls in to the bus station and my phone pings and the reminder pops up on the screen 👍

Yes, me too. I create Tasks on my phone which pop up on the day they need doing. I find it really handy..................you'll think me sad, I know. One of today's Tasks is grey, blue and brown bins. I'd never remember which was which day without it. Another task is to check the bank account and make sure the pension as arrived, etc.

I like that Siri idea but I don't use an iPhone.

Do you think I should tidy up my workshop ?
Undecided whether to do it this week, or not.

Tidy it? It looks to me as though it's just been tidied. I must create a Task reminding me never to post a photo of the inside of my garage....................

Yep, ITVX. It's nowhere near as good as iPlayer.

Reason for asking.........my SiL installed both on my TV yesterday.
TBH I wasn't fussed but am amazed at what I can access, quite gobsmacking.

I use my Google calendar to remind me of all things, from main bin day to birthdays, appointments, just about everything.

So what happened to the" Why" thread?

I got a message saying it has been moved to a different forum, but I have no idea where.

Earlier, Mrs G said to me she was going out in the car and wouldn't be long. Well, I know from past experience that " I won't be long" means anything from 1 hour to 4 hours. I think it is a woman thing when time is rather vague.

Just enjoying a pint of 'Endless Autumn' at the Quantock brewery tap room.
Picked up some pasties to eat on the train going back at 12.30.

Been chastting to me oldest lass.

She owns two hair salons, and has her own personal portfolio of private customers that she handles personally separate from that, usuallly very well minted ones.

One of these punters is going to Cyprus for a few months and wants his hair done. He's paying to fly my lass, her partner and my two grandkids out to Cyprus for four days so she can cut his hair, paying for four days of lost business, and putting them all up in the guest wing of his private villa. Alright for same, eh?

And the best bit? I get to look after her Porker Macan twin-turbo S for four days!!!

Personally I think the mods are awesome and do an excellent job. I'd have stabbed me long ago if I were them, but theyve been very tolerant as I oscillate between simple stupidity on the one hand and mental illness on the other.

I actually met @Drago somewhere with an ample supply of knives, and yet he remained unstabbed!

Good afternoon all, a quick few miles out on the bike, but it is so gloomy now that it is already getting dark.
So, I am cooking the mixture for a cottage pie for tonights tea. It will be accompanied with green beans and carrots.

Ps. I have a couple of bottles of ale to keep me company whilst MrsP is at her art class.

I may have mentioned last week about needing a photo 📷 of me for my bus pass.This is what they have accepted.Despite this not being the original one nor is it up to date.I love it.

 

[Exlaser2]

Just back from my daughters hearing . Worst possible result, she has been dismissed.

She is devastated and I cannot put in to words how I feel at the moment . ☹️😢

Always a good idea!
