Retirement...I highly recommend it, I only work when I feel it like now ;-)
Worked for more than 50 years, and only did it as a hobby, to allow me to eat, and keep a roof over my head
'Work...the curse of the drinking classes...'
Best of Luck to anyone who plays the lotto, it's not a bad way to retire either ;-)

That’s the same year as me although I loved my job but still glad to have finished up with work.

I wonder how many of our 3000 members are retired? I've now been retired for two weeks.
I can't afford to drink, eat, heat Weedoc mansions OR pay the missus for sex. Beats the feck outta work.

i'M SO GLAD YOU GOT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER..

I have a strange relationship with work, I moan like fuck when there's too much of it and I moan like fuck when there's not enough, I also moan like fuck when it's somewhere in the middle, basically I moan like fuck quite a lot!
During lockdown 1 (the real one) I seen it as an opportunity to do many wonderful things, but for the first month I just got pished and kept thinking I'll start doing wonderful things tomorrow.
Eventually I got my head around getting paid to stay at home and spent my time in my small workshop making things, or restoring things and knowing that there wasn't a monetary value to it, the hourly rate didn't exist and it was great!
If I wanted to spend 30 hours restoring an old wood plane, or 4 hours getting the perfect edge on a vintage chisel I could and I liked that. That's how I see my retirement, doing the things I enjoy and not worrying about how long it takes. Thankfully my interests are fairly cheap, skiing in St Moritz or being on a beach in the Seychelles isn't for me, so the only challenge I have is lasting until retirement age, which is probably a long shot!!

I remember when there were only 3 channels I had an old black and white telly in my bedroom as a young teen you needed a match stick tae hold one of the buttons in place I mind watching The Sweeny religiously you could be sure every week the police would burst in tae a bedroom and some startled burd would sit up topless that was pure filth back then if I had 3 tellys it would have been like surround sound
