June 13, 201511 yr Fuck me. 30 years? I'd be 4 years off retirement if I'd have been a fireman and still have 19 years to go to 65.
June 13, 201511 yr I'd like to think I'll do fuck all. I'm reality I think that might get a bit tedious. I don't want to be attacking shelves at B&Q though
June 14, 201511 yr I saw a doctor interviewed on the news yesterday, as he's in the queens honours. He reckons he's done as much work in the last 5/6 years as anyone, even though he's been told to retire more times than he can remember. He said retirement would send him to an early grave. He's 103 years old.
June 14, 201511 yr My old man is 71 next time and still doing two full days and two mornings. He could have sold the business and packed in years ago but it keeps him going in body and mind. Plus as he says,there's only so many trips a week into Cleveleys and wander round M&S and man can take
June 14, 201511 yr I reckon Mickey will spend his days catapulting cats into trees, just so he can see his old mates
June 14, 201511 yr Bugger! Yes, thanks for that Malcolm. Thing is, I started on May 27 1986 which was a Tuesday due to the Monday being a bank holiday so my 12 week basic course was only 11 weeks and four days. Wings and roundabouts I guess. What did you before you were 30 ? ????

Plus as he says,there's only so many trips a week into Cleveleys and wander round M&S and man can take Done plenty of work with an Oldham firm called Hopkins and Sons, John Hopkins the old irish fella who started the firm can often be found sweeping up on various sites or if he gets his way raking out fresh tarmac. There's fuck all chance of him ever fully retiring.
June 16, 201511 yr I'd retire tomorrow given half the chance - as it stands I've another 20 years of this bollox.
