I'm going to be afk for a few days so I'm wishing Stephen a Happy
Birthday for Tuesday now.
Got your bus pass yet? :-D

As with you, I'm awaiting delivery with baited breath. It could save me
a substantial amount in travelling expenses.

It is a good deal living in London (almost), free travel on all public
transport at all times of the day and night. Does anyone want to buy an
oyster card?
My wife misses out she will be 63.25 y.o. before she gets hers. Oh! Dear
what a shame. LOL

What's the deal there? I thought it was automatic entitlement when you
reached 60.
BTW I am not 60, I'm 18 with 42 years experience ;-)
Must arrange a pint or three sometime to celebrate our recurring 18th
birthdays

I think that it because of them pesky Europeans. Initially everyone got
it on retirement 65 for men 60 for women. That was ruled discriminatory
so everyone got it at 60. But the pension age for women is to rise (as
it is discriminatory that they can retire earlier than men) so everyone
born after 5/4/50 will be on a sliding scale until everyone qualifies at 65.

18 is so hormonal, I’m stuck at 25 and my hair is black(ish)

We must, we must. I’m here in Chester until the end of next month. I
can’t make it before that as I’m still chief cook and bottle washer at
the weekends. But I’d love to try out my new card when it comes.

Mine arrived yesterday. The colour scheme is of St Georges flag with an
English rose in the top left-hand corner. If I were you I'd send an
urgent request for St Andrew's cross with a thistle :-D
May sounds good to me, preferably around election time then we've got
several excuses for drinking more than recommended by HMG's Chief Health
Jobsworth.

I was late applying for mine as the local PO in Chester had no idea what
to do with the form so I took it to a London one last week. With any
luck it will be waiting for me next weekend unless Easter gets in the way.

An “English” rose? Lancastrian or Yorkist? I might add.

Celebration or commiseration it is a grand idea. And hell mend that
honourable Jobsworth

Shouldn't that be > 0?
A value of less than zero would imply negative lighting.

Probably, but you have not seen my hair :-P (My one vanity)
I’m sure it reflects in the UV range. LOL
Anyway saying “< 0” is the good Doctor’s way of saying it is a very long
way from black.
