Were the cars electric or just American?

How is it?

Obviously new and everything is pretty tight, sounds really good on the standard pipe and you can feel it is an angry fucker.  Wants to go even though I have yet to run it in.   Haven't found it jerky on and off throttle or overly tippy into the bends like most of the Youtubers are moaning about.  Feels like a CB500 with better brakes and tighter handling, which for me is perfect.  I am chuffed to bits with it.  Probably some gushing to follow once I have some more miles on it.

I'm not I'll never retire.... it won't be a thing when I get to that age 

I don't really want to retire to be honest.  Don't  get me wrong I am halfway there as I am only contracted for 19 hours a week at the moment by choice.  I do more when I want and probably work full time most weeks.   My current job facilitates this.  But whatever it is I want to be doing something until I peg it, my mental health suffers when I don't work.

That right there is why you should never give up even if you just do some voluntary work.

I average about 20 hours a week (although I do stuff on the computer at home as well).  Once you do nothing you have nothing to occupy your mind and it's so easy to drift into thinking negative thoughts.  It's a downward spiral from there

That's my biggest problem with my retirement,  almost nothing to do to occupy my mind and time. Tried to think of other things besides gardening () but nothing comes to minds as to a passing time.

So very true.

Natures good though, walking, cycling, nature spotting whether it’s flowers, insects or birds ticking them off when you’ve hunted down their favoured habitat. Then you can get into the zoology and how they fit into the ecosystem. 
That’s stuff is pretty cool and nice n cheap! 

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Well my day just had a big uptick. There’s only a blinking Chinese restaurant ‘Dragón asiático’ a ten minute walk from here, result!!

That’s called Taphonomy and would suit you down to the ground, the rotting festering ground

You have the best words! 

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

Just looked it up it comes from the Greek word Tophos meaning tomb. 
 

You may have stumbled on the hobby of your lifetime Pete

I have walked around the park and Heathland many time, it seems to be only Pigeons and Magpies that live there. I have not got a cycle not ridden one since my mid 20,s, tubby has never ridden a bike in her life, in her condition and being nearly 70 years old i doubt she could now,

She cannot walk far,  she cannot even make it to Magpies Park, and pathways around it are uneven and some have gradients.

I am not being dismissive of your suggestion though @Slowlycatchymonkey

Do you have a food bank near you @Clive ?

See if they want any volunteers, you’ll be doing some good and probably find it rewarding

I honestly do not know if there is a food bank near us @boboneleg

 

But with my disability it would make it a problem to work with other people, I do my best to avoid people and groups..............iam not anti social, but it is just easier to avoid the problem.

So I suppose I am being anti social.
