The Perpetual Friday Club... like Last of the Summer Wine but with more pies.

 

[MontyVeda]

Only 7 years. The last one was And Winter Came back in 2008. And I am pre-ordering the new one..

Is that retirement date, Vern?.......BTW you'll never get bored, there's too much to do, too many interesting projects to get involved in, too many pulse engines to fire up, too many explosions to set off in your shed, too many flame throwers to light....and if all of them fail, there's all that absinthe to drink.

It's the day that I get made redundant. Bothered? Me? Nah? So much mischief, not enough time.

Sorry. In all seriousness, hope it's not going to cause too much stress!! I have been there,!!

I am totally unstressed. Playtime has come early for me. I might look for some part time work to have a bit of structure in the week but I've a shed full of balsa and a garage full of incendiary devices that are craving my attention.

The stressed ones are the unfortunate souls who are losing their jobs and have mortgages, loans and kids to maintain. There's another 20-30 folk who will be leaving involuntarily. I'm lucky enough to be close to the end of my expected working life in education for an early finish not to make much difference.

Perpetual Fridays start for me on 1st April 2016.

I might convert some of them to Tuesdays and Wednesdays if I get bored.

Perpetual Fridays for me planned 2025-2027, best not start the countdown just yet.......

Good news, and good luck!

I've just opened a small parcel. It had two valve spout fuel bottles in it - just in time to enable to me to serenade my neighbours with my PAW 10cc diesel engine on Friday.

 

[HertzvanRental]

Stained glass, Amalfi, and Hellfire Corner sportive on Saturday! My cup runneth over!!

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

I'm going to give my hair a number 2. Then I can forget about it for a while.

A No 2? That invites all sorts of connotations!!

I'll see your 10cc diesel and raise you a 30cc petrol.

And I retire a month after you!

Despite all the evidence, I thought I might get away with it....

Ha! Were sharp as tennis balls in SE Kent!!

 

[mybike]

Yes.

And, don't keep us in suspenders.
