The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Christ, I was doing about £110 a week.

Just got back from the village for Sunday lunch.
Special pensioners rate.
Roast pork and all the trimmings - £6.50.
'Twas 'ansome!

I'm looking to give a year's notice in September - I get 2 extra days leave a month before retirement - see you all in September 2018

Is that all, besides I think they was at the end of your working days and not the beginning. what is of utmost importance though is that you enjoy your well deserved retirement, I know for sure I could not have done your job. And no that is not sarcasm.

P.S if I ever end up skint will you lend me a few coppers.

 

[Dirk]

I know for sure I could not have done your job. .

If that's the case, I doubt very much whether you could have done mine.
And, no, I'm not saying what I did.

 

[Dirk]

Off up to the Midlands today ready to start our Tour de Cotswolds.
We're riding with two other couples, chillin' and enjoying the ride.
Hope the weather stays reasonable.

Bikey ridey today, swinging by to see a friend and using the opportunity to bag some trigs too.

The name Paul Rose mean anything to you from around that period?

Yes. He ran a triple engined Suzuki triple - if you get what I mean - 9 cylinders of 2 stroke loveliness!
Ran against him a few times.

He was a very close friend who passed away only a few years back, I regret to this day that we lost contact.

Quiet day planned tomorrow. Been growing my hair out a bit now I'm retired and don't need to intimidate gobby drunk twenty something's on a saturday night with my appearance, so Daughter #1 is coming over to give me a trim. She does my hair for free as I paid her college course - she's a hard little worker and within a few years opened up her own salon, and made such a success that she recently (against my advice, bit its her money) dropped over 70 big ones in a new Porshe Cayenne. Be nice to catch up.

Didn't realise he'd died. He built some very interesting machines.
