The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

I wish I could get my family and Mrs B to do likewise. The "what do you want for Christmas" questions have already started, and, "Nothing" is not an acceptable answer.

Last night, on the bus to the pub to meet "the boys", I noticed a house, fully decorated, lights etc all over the front, all over the garden, it is not even December yet!!!

Mrs Tkk gets a strop on when I reply " Feck All " to the annual question. I have to dream up something just to keep her happy.
Having said that, I really enjoy giving, and get great pleasure when the grandchildren are opening their presents.

Just spoken to my oldest lass. She's a much better boxer than I ever was (black belts in TKD, muay thai and karate and she does white collar boxing) and she's convinced Tyson v Paul was scripted.

She says Tyson is a Peek-a-Boo fighter whom likes to stay in close, and there were a couple of moments where he had a punch visibly locked and loaded and never took the shot.

Then the mysterious "script" for the fight was leaked overnight...

This has ruined my Saturday.

Totally agree . It was more like WWE .
I’ve heard this is Paul’s next fight 😀.

I think the Labour party conference is in LLandudno this week end and Mrs G wants to go shopping there this afternoon.
Do we really need to go? I expect the traffic will be horrendous with security, police cars everywhere etc....

He’s probably hacked off, as am I with teacher’s pets running off to complain about some of our posts.

I was about to say something
then I saw this and forgot

wonder why!!!




Oh hang on - just remembered
by wife just asked me how to spell something
I have a degree in Chemistry and she has one in History with a chunk of English Literature as well (don;t ask - I don't know why)

and some of you might have noticed that my spelling is not all that reliable (even after using the spell checker on posts!!!)

I accidentally gave her the American version but thought it looked wrong so checked

why exactly she requires the word bureaucracy in an email is a mystery!

I arise at 02:50. Drink tea & eat my wheaty-bangs, do my ablutions clothe myself then depart home at 03:15. Arrive at work by 03:50. Drink coffee until 04:00 then start work.
Thank you for your interest.
