Hadhuge mixed grill at 1.00pm ish. It's called Full English breakfast before 10.00am, but who cares.....
Anyway...went on a trip to take wifey to her accountants....lovely 50 mile drive towards Yorkshire.....So I'm really pleased with wearing a few new clothes - designed make me a bit more 'modern', 'up to date', or even a bit 'younger'.....
Waitress comes over when we asked for the bill...she says to me..'Did you have the PENSIONERS menu sir?' haha
I stood up and yelled 'No I bloody didn't...do I look 65???'
Eileen nearly wet herself laughing....Har bloody Har....
We didn't know it then, but Wednesdays in East Lancashire are pensioners 'discount' days in all the pubs. Ahh...you win some..you lose some...nice lunch tho!

Boiled eggs and toast yesterday
Rob, I'm suprised she only thought you were 65, I would have said 70:)

No 54 on the menu washed down with a bottle of Aqua con gas and an ice coffee. 3pm (CET) at the little cafe near the place I am working in Zaragoza, Spain.
No 54 is 1/2 a french (style) stick with two chicken breasts, which each have a slice of cheese and a fried egg on top. Not chance that I could finish it.
Total cost under 5 Euros.
Seems my stomach is in a different time zone in Spain.
Breakfast at 11am, lunch 3pm evening meal at 9:30pm
Blue skies and 35 C today..scorchio...eh manana scorchio
Rob. Is it a new labour policy to make all teachers work past 65?
I will say you don't look bus pass material having your own hair...I presume its your own?
Hope to see again soon.
I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday. Is that wrong?
Rob - are you really 65? You're damn near as old as Reardon! I hope I can still play my guitar when I'm that old. I hope I can get a nice strap for my catheter bag for those stand-up gigs.
Since all my contemporaries (by definition) will be geezers too and since we will have all lost our hearing by then, I suppose I could just lip sync and air guitar my way through any difficulties. Is that what you guys do, Rob and JR?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me...

Too many aches in my body to do any air guitar, so will have to do with playing a real one.
