OFF TOPIC CHAT!!!!

It's not for the main electrical forum you lazy git.

Post in the proper forums. We all have to look for them.

If all threads were posted in one forum. We're basically a whatsapp group. And who can keep up with one of those with 20-odd thousands contributors in it?

Thread moved for you. Last time that is though.

Fair enough mate. Bless you for trying to find one for me.

If it's not electrical at all, always aim for Off-Topic Electrician Chat or whatever it's called in here.

When I saw the thread title, I thought you were on about yourself

So with that in mind; GP said 73 years passed, advised on two knee replacements and cut back on beer & smokes to reduce the saggy belly. Also advise considering using a walking frame or one of these;


PS, you can use the basket underneath, to put your two cans of Special Brew when you visit the local convenience store.

on a more serious note, i not done too bad. never had any major illness, no broken bones. could pack in the beer and smokes, but would not live any longer. it would just appear so. if it were not for the tax/duty/vat us reprobates paid on beer and smokes, the NHS would have collapsed years ago. us smokers have paid for our smoking related problems tenfold, subsidising the non-smokers stress related treatments as well. just hope i can holdout for another 15 years, then i may have recovered all the taxes i've paid in with my pittance of a state pension, which just about pays for essentials ( beer and smokes). for luxuries like food , bills, etc. i still need to work, albeit only 3 days a week. rant over. .

I had not watched them much but noticed .Plenty have a seat so if you over do it going up a hill can sit for a bit.
I do perch on benches a little more often than I can remember in the past.
