Popular Post delboy54 Posted June 21 Popular Post Share Posted June 21 Hello fellow VT ers... Today June 21st is my 66th Birthday! The highlight of today is applying for my bus pass. I am practising: Paying for my shopping at the local supermarket in cash/coins and not quite having enough money, the main objective is to build up a nice big queue behind me. Moaning about young people. Telling everyone that "I remember when all this was fields". Saying "it's not as good as it used to be". Groaning when sitting down and standing up Gasping when drinking a cup of tea as if it's the first drink since being lost in the Sahara desert for a week Dribbling Dozing at regular intervals "resting my eyes" Driving very slowly and not using indicators and taking up 2 parking spaces Talking loudly at anyone who cares Talking about my medication and my "problems" Wearing the same clothes everyday Happy birthday to me 20 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look to be exactly the same as the Boots ones. I've been feeling aches and pains more recently. I don't exactly have a great balanced diet so these can't be a bad thing to take to start with. Wellman 30/40/50 plus etc are very good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted June 29 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29 I'm in a little WhatsApp group with three old mates from student days (i.e. forty years ago). We keep trying to organise a meetup, but never quite get all four on board. Latest suggestion was a few days walking (and drinking) in Northumbria. One (me) could easily handle the walking, but can't spare the time from family responsibilities. Another could easily spare the time (no kids), but can't hack the walking (arthritic knees). The third could spare the time, and handle the walking, but is currently laid up, having been attacked by an XL bully, and fallen, causing a fractured skull. At least we're all still alive. For now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Did the fathers 100 metre race at my daughters sports day the other day. Bear in mind I was unbeaten at primary and high school. Thought I’d give it a good go. Jesus wept I’ve lost my speed and ended up falling over three quarters of the way because my brain was going quicker than my legs. I blamed my work boots but add to that I’m not a teenager anymore, carrying alot more weight and not as fit as I once was . The kids had a good laugh though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now... Don't you think a few days might be a bit too much for a meetup? Always going to be difficult for people to spare that amount of time. Maybe 1 night away? Or maybe just a full day? I suppose it depends on how far you are all away from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I said. The suggestion was by a bloke who is very keen on long distance walks. Not coincidentally, he's the only one in the group who's single (divorced), so has loads of spare time, and is probably a bit lonely. The original idea was that I'd host a weekend in here Leeds (where we were all students), which is probably the best compromise location (the other three guys are in Exmouth, Wolverhampton and Durham). We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
