The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

Some incredibly talented young musicians about these days, doubtless aided by the interet as an incredible learning tool.

Got me thinking, so I had to check, it'll be 12 years come September since I retired, and it'll be another couple before I pick up my pension.



Have to agree, and the way it's going more and more wont see retirement age. It's OK for politicians to keep raising the age of retirement but most of them have never done one days hard graft in their lives.

True but it’s also true of the majority of people on here that spent there working lives in nice comfy offices. 😂😂🙂.
( and yes I do understand a lot of them did have mental stress and strain which can just as debilitating. )

There are not many bricklayers, factory workers, shop workers etc on here . 🙂

I spent my career avoiding office working, and opted for medical retirement rather than spend my final working days in one.

Afternoon all . Just back from volunteering, Nothing too stressful today , spent the day looking/ identifying moths and eating cake .

As others have said this retirement lark isn’t bad at all.

I spent 30 plus years working out of an office. However at least half the time was spent visiting folk in inner city Dull. Not so comfy.

I have to admit I do like the occasional bacon roll but it's got to be a mix of Heinz tomato and Hela's mild curry.

Posh or WHAT!!!

Volunteering done

Helped a couple sort out some puzzles to help their minds keep active

Living Well Hub seems to be a hive of activity - all sorts of groups and clubs going on
quite difficult to help people and find stuff for them when a quiz is going on in the background and my brain wants to listen to the question and wonder abou t the answers

There were 5 original members of the Spice Girls weren;t there???

I wish. A fair bit of physical stuff involved.

Snap . I’ve never had a sit down job . It’s why my knees and hips are shot at 64 . ☹️

I spent the 1st 2 years of my working life 15-17 in an office. It was iirc ok but that was it, never again.

I decided it would be cooler staying indoors and Zwifting with the fan on.

I got a green jersey.

I'm sure some did, I'm not one of them spent my working life in kitchens, there's a reason they call them brigades.
