I hate it when people ask if you have a bathroom, I want to say "No we pee in the garden"

Life of leisure, hmmm I wish. I can now get on with the rest of our house, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with the redecoration of the kitchen and dining room and the fitting of an oak floor downstairs.
After that I have a 3 bedroom flat to rip apart as well as finding 2 days a week for voluntary work for a pair of hospitals.
Not going to be dull I think LOL.
I am looking forward though to planing a trip to Assen next year for the MotoGP as and when the tickets become available.
Oh and grape picking season in Croatia next September lol, that will be a cheap holiday as we won't be paying for any accommodation.

The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.

Dunno how I missed this.. Hope retirement is treating you well, mate.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Glad things are sorted Peter ..... Oh how I wish I could afford to retire.
