Getting out isn't so easy now though!

Just received our new driving licences.....me for 5 years and the wife for 9 years. It's 9 years because that's when she reaches 70. And they managed not to lose any of my entitlements in the update!

I'm not sure, but it's a fact that UK Pensions are the lowest in Europe.

Nice one!

A Spanish friend of mine just retired at 65 and he gets €1500 a month. By comparison I get €820.

I've seen it mentioned on Twitter as a lot of people have gone over to Mastodon because of Elon Musk's ownership of Twitter. I'll check it out.

Sad news.......we lost Jeff BecK!

At least something good came out of it then.

You must have been really ill though.....cos you didn't post for quite a while.

So the whole world is involved in this conspiracy then zzzak? Does that include Russia and Ukraine? Bit odd if they are considering they're at war.

We came back negative......but the Chemist told us a lot of people are showing as negatives with the new variant.

Did you do a Covid test?

You're going to get the sack?

Same here Terry! The UK Pension don't go far anyway!

You planning to retire when you've done your time?

Did you know that if you drove that here everybody would be pointing and laughing because you'd be driving round in a car with Wanker written on it?

What about all the high profile anti-vaxers who've died because of Covid?

Yes......she definitely had Covid! And you've got so many similarities with what we've had! If you discard the possibility of us having Kraken.......what's the odds on somebody in Southern Spain and somebody in Mansfield (who've never met) having exactly the same flu variant symptoms at the same time? Because elements of what we've had with this we've never had before with previous bouts of flu. Do you know @Slowlycatchymonkey?

Did you get bouts of hard coughing on temperature changes.....like when going back inside after being out?

Oh yeh.....I know exactly what you mean Clive. As I said, I've had flu many times.......I even had Mumps when I was 26. And that can be very serious for adults! But I've never experienced anything like this.......and I've still got a long way to go in terms of recovery.

Same here! At least when you get a positive Covid test you know where you stand! But when you get a negative and then feel as ill as we've been you start to get a bit worried.

How does catching a highly contagious Covid variant make me a doddery old cunt?
