I would like the following to retire gracefully, Paul Macartney, Rod Stewart, Lulu,Tony Bennet,Simply Red,Joanna

Lumley, and so many more. Ther are so many new singers and bands now.

To see these old has beens ,either selling books or releasing yet another cover of their songs,so embarassing.

Who would you put out to pasture.?

i have nothing against older performers like actors or musicians, it is the "presenter"type I wish would retire and let someone else have a go. Terry Wogan and Brucie spring to mind- but then the older generation might miss them; I wish they would just stick to charity work.

From my point of view it should be what New so called Comics would you BAN.

and the singers that have only one word or a line repeted over and over.

The supposedly Real builders repairing those buildings that were faultly built whose Tradesmen are shown not even holding a saw properly ( with a guide finger )and in close up its another bodge that they have done themselves.

Ask Dave? I will need a Six by two box soon, but if I asked him, he would make it triangular.

Well, He doesn't come down the stairs any more - so I think he's possibly becoming decrepit.

Oh yes. It feels like he's got worse... or perhaps I just didn't notice how bad the jokes were when I was a little kid. Strictly is the only thing of his I've watched as an adult, and that's definitely despite rather than because he presents.


I wouldn't put Paul McCartney out to pasture though - saw him at the Isle of Wight festival this year and he put on a better performance than I've seen from some people less than half his age. If you've still got a decent voice and you've a decent back catalogue I can't see a problem with carrying on. It's when the voice goes like Frank Sinatra's did that it's embarassing.

Wills, Kate ( sorry dear, but you are guilty by association now ), chelsea n harry & the rest of these parasitic vermin.. They should be retired with a bullet to the back of the head and left on Goose Green for the ED Feral wildlife to gorge on. And Thatcher. And feckin Bono.

Tony Robinson should have retired after Baldrick, Bill Oddie should have retired before the Goodies,


Bruce Forsyth has been mentioned already several times,


Judi Dench, Stephen Fry is on the cusp of being a great bore of our time,


Terry Wogan has left his broadcasting spot perhaps now he might be banned from the box.


Angus Deayton should be brought back from retirement.

      Gazundering!

      It's my understanding that estate agents are obliged to put forward any offer to the seller made to them by the buyer. The decision to accept us up to the seller.  If you're in a chain and someone in the chain has the brass neck to threaten to pull out at the last minute unless you take their lower offer, you're in a very tricky position and the gazunderer knows that.  It's a really nasty thing to do but a crappy person will do it to save money.  That's why if you can be at the top of a chain by going into rented or some other temporary solution you're in a much stronger position to tell the gazunderer to take a running jump which is very satisfying.

      Where does one go to ask admin questions please?

      Isn't it because any bladed item now needs to sold with a new set of legal conditions (age verification etc) which this forum doesn't have? Even if there's a tool to remove stones from a horses hoof, and a tiny pair of tweezers its still got a blade.

      Yes, if you think they have been complicit in this. When you say you "had to" accept the lower price from your buyer, was that because of the timing of your purchase?

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By Sue · Posted

      Thanks. I know that's the most obvious solution, but there are other factors, as mentioned above. Also, whilst I was relieved to discover from a post above  that Zipcar has no upper age limit, my  daughter has pointed out that modern cars (mine is a 1998 Micra) have features (like no obvious  handbrakes, apparently)  which would be fine if I was buying a new car and could get used to them, but less fine if I am using a hired car occasionally and don't know where anything is or how to use it! This would probably be no problem  if I was younger, but I am now  nearer eighty than seventy, and apart from dwindling brain cells, I am prone to anxiety, which not being able to locate or use the handbrake on a hill would not help 🤣 For various reasons I have decided to keep the car. I will just have to make fairly frequent long trips to keep the battery charged.
