The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

Being from a Southern Irish family also, I spent years ( from age 8 ) being an altar boy. This meant having to serve daily 8am mass and on Sunday mass which lasted an hour. Luckily for me I wasn't rear scuttled by any priest during those years . I resent my mother insisting I kept it up for years . Lots of the old paedophile priests roaming about in those days , the bishop would move one to a different parish if there were complaints about any particular one interfering with kids. I loath the lot of them and havn't gone near any church since age 12.

I last went to mass when I was 15. I too can't stand the Catholic religion. A load of freeloaders , charlatans and some of the most unchristian and uncharitable bunch of people there is.

The Express doesn't like the BBC anyway.

Does anyone? 😆

I have returned. My daughter was here this morning, then we dropped her off at the bottom of the road at 12 as she was going to see a neighbour then carried on to the Metropolis of Newtown. We braved Aldi. We didn't go Into Iceland or Morrisons. I was pleasantly surprised by the items and the cost. There are odds and sods that I can't get there, but I can always go to Morrisons for them.

The meat was def cheaper in Aldi than in Morrisons or Iceland

For me the quality is all important. I buy their chicken breasts and always happy with them.
The lamb steaks always look nice.
The beef often looks fatty.
IMO of course.

How can a 6 year old not trust someone wearing a pointy hat like that, even if he has got his hand up their skirt at the time.

There were a few things that I couldn't get in Aldi, but I can always go to Morrisons to get them

I think from now on the majority of our shopping will be done in Aldi. I might try Liddl as well.

I try never to watch the News on BBC as I find it very bias.

I finished my DIY work at our daughter's but only the handles as I couldn't do the lock due to being the wrong one. The barrel hole in the new one is in a different position from the old one so no can do. I told her to get another one similar to the old one or buy another door.
Off on a ride now as the sun is shining and forecast is showers for the rest of the week.

We get 80% of our weekly shop at Aldi and it saves a fortune.

Morrisons is a total *iss-take with their prices.

The story so far :-
Most if not all churches are “clicky” and if you ain't in the “click” your an outsider and not even spoken too.
Having been a Catholic all my life I have never come across a paedophile priest I may have been lucky, but I do have one living not 30 feet away from me
I don't have a Morrisons near me.
and as for the news I only read the Mail and the Express sometimes the Guardian.

Me too, questioned religion at an early age and became an Atheist.

If you are an atheist does that mean you are band from all the religious bank holidays 🙏⛪️😇😇

When I was working I worked most bank holidays anyway. Including all the religious ones. They had no relevance to me.

Whenever we bought meat from Aldi we have generally found it to be good quality.

On facebook I follow a group called True Coventarian and during the week they put up a group of old Coventry pictures daily, amongst this mornings pictures was one from the old Butts Stadium probably from the 1960's of what appears to be Moultons being raced in front of a good crowd.

View attachment 701047

I thought the Coventarians were another religious sect you were adding to an ongoing discussion.

I have no religion.Mrs p When I pop my clogs Mrs p Is going to cut me up put me in the air fryer and put my ashes in the recycling bin.⚰️⚰️⚰️

A number of offences being planned there.
Also, try and imagine the mess. Horrendous job to clear up that kind of thing

A little girl asks her mum, 'Mum, can I take the dog for a walk around the block?'
Her mum replies 'No, because she is in heat.'
'What does that mean?' asked the child.
'Go and ask your father. I think he's in the garage.'
The little girl goes out to the garage and says, 'Dad, can I take Lulu for a walk around the block? I asked Mum, but she said the dog was on the heat, and to come ask you.'
He took a rag, soaked it in petrol/gas, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and said 'Ok, you can go now, but keep Lulu on the leash and only go one time around the block.'
The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash..
Surprised, Dad asked, 'Where's Lulu?'
You'll love this!!!!!!!!!)...............
The little girl said, 'She ran out of petrol about halfway round the block, so another dog is pushing her home


My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favourite animal.
I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much.
I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office.
I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.
The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favourite live animal was. I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, so I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.
She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed, and told me not to do it again.
I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.
Today, my teacher asked me to tell her what famous person I admired most. I told her, "Colonel Sanders."
Guess where I am now
