The Retirement Thread

But he lets you feel as though you're in charge by letting you pay.

Yeah. There is that.

Bloody religious b@%$(ards 😔
I don’t blame him for being bitter…..but you know what, his voice would almost certainly be heard now, if he wanted of course.
I have wondered for years why there are over 20 Bishops in our House of Lords.
Times need to change.

An altar boy walks in to find his vicar masturbating furiously.
Embarrassed, he begins to back out of the room when the vicar
says "George, this is perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed
of; you'll be doing it yourself soon enough".

Skeptical, George says "Really, vicar"?

The vicar replies "Sure you will, my wrist is getting tired"!

Outside of my family I've never heard anyone use that expression.

Calling your bed your pit? I thought it was reasonably common. We certainly use it up here.

Morning. The house is feeling chilly this morning but according to the Beeb it’s not actually quite as cold outside. I will find out shortly after my cuppa.

I have risen!

Will give the van a clean today.

Good morning all.
A cloudy start to the day here.
I've got to get my prescription from the chemist later, so I will cycle up there and add a few miles.
All the usual things to do today. The garden still needs some more tidying, the leaves are falling from the trees and the green bin collection is on Saturday.
Enjoy your day.

Ps.
I thought the term "pit" was quite a common name for the bed.

Enjoying a quiet coffee with Plsnet Rock before walking Mini D to school and exercising Bruce.

4 mile run done and now off for a nice bath before breakfast. Only met one other runner with his dog.

 

[welsh dragon]

Coooeeee. 1 deg and frosty here.

Pit is a common name for your bed. I always dragged my son out of his pit

Stay safe peeps

Good morning. I've had better sleeps but managed 6+ hours in total. That will do. I'm having coffee in the pit right now! 😁

Today is a cycling day. Currently 7⁰ and feels chilly. I'm moving to full winter gear. It will be a winter base layer, lightweight merino jersey and winter jacket. I'm very tempted to get out my Galibier quilted gilet. I really feel the cold these days. I'll pack a spare base layer. Changing to a clean base layer at the cafe is one of the very best ways to avoid post cafe chill.

I finished emptying the shed yesterday. The skip arrives on Friday. I'll probably spend a couple of hours gathering up old bricks and stuff which are scattered around the allotment. My plan is anything that is not wood goes in the skip first. I can always burn any wood that won't fit.

Spots on the soles of my feet have gone. A relief as walking was uncomfortable on Monday and Tuesday.

 

[PaulSB]

Seems everyone knows what a pit is. I should listen more. 😁

Morning all

Having a walk down to the market this morning, then hopping on the bus to Minehead, to meet up with our mates in Wetherspoons.
