Title: Uncle M - what is he doing now ?
Post by: Miss Demeanour on January 12, 2011, 08:20:58 AM
He is obviously to busy to remember his real friends  sad24:

So in the honorary VP fashion lets speculate  eveilgrin:

He has become addicted to being a member of the audience on the Jeremy Kyle show

He is writing his autobiography and is locked away in a darkened room with those stick on luminous stars

He has gone senile and can't remember how to turn the computer on

He has become a member of the Secret Service - writing their roolz of engagement for them

He has a wumman


any more likely scenario's ???

Well ~ he did say that having spent years in employment, tied to a computer screen, he was not proposing to spend his hard won retirement doing the same.  whistle:

Personally I think he has discovered that when one retires one finds that the days fill up and you end up wondering how you ever found time to go to work.

I think he is out clubbing every night (booze and loud music, not baby seals) and spends the hours of daylight recovering for the next session.

Not practical Miss D ....... Abseiling down the building whilst holding a paintpod is strictly a one way trip ... then he has to climb up again to abseil down to do the next strip of painting. Now if he were to bungy jump from the roof, paintpod at the ready, he could get several strips painted as he bounced up and down before he needed to climb back to the roof. Takes a man to think through the practicalities you see. ;D

That's all right then ..... I like lists of "Jobs that must be done" ..... You can pick your task of the day/week/month/year to suit your mood and then there is always the "I'm actually planning the task and seeing what I need to order ~ No point in going off half-cocked" option followed, after a suitable delay (about a month), by the "I am actually sorting the priorities as we you speak" which should always precede the "Please make up your bloody mind, I can't do it all at once you know" throwaway remark as you head for the pub.

Do his windows open inwards then ?
Cos if they open outwards, he would end up painting the inside of them, not to mention leaving patches unpainted where the windows covered the wall...

I wondered why my ears were burning.

The outside of the house does need repainting. I'll get a man in though.

Been doing a few jobs around the house but I will probably get someone in to do some work there as well. One of my neighbours has recommended a lady painter and decorator. So I might get a woman in.

Had to give up swimming for a while, I slipped over in the kitchen and wrenched my shoulder. Still got a twinge but I'm back down the pool now every morning.

Joined the Ware U3A group but still not sure, the groups are full of old people.   noooo:

The local (to me) U3A is based in Abergele..... they are all over 80 and mainly barking mad. I did consider it but was pleased to discover that I felt "Too Young" to belong  cloud9:


Getting a wummun in is not a bad idea...... My mad Scots neighbour had a wummun in to decorate his place a couple of years ago. Quite by accident, he had thought she was a he when he phoned to arrange a quote but having recovered from the shock when she turned up he gave her the work.
He told me she was sooooo fussy about detail and cleaning up that the house was cleaner when she finished than when she started. She also made him regular cups of tea and brought along her own biscuits. He reckoned that she took twice as long to paint inside and out than he would have done a few years back but she made an excellent job and gave him a free 5 year guarantee on her work.
