OT; that's the last time I go to work.

Because I have just got home from my retirement do. About 9 years early but
it all seems affordable so long as I don't want to overland to China on a
GS1200 on a regular basis.

There will now follow 30 years (so the actuary said) of motorcyling, taking
photographs, making curry and spending November in Spain.

I am now free to audition for a place on a French trip.

Cool, only two more years for me.

 

Fuckers. Whichever way I look at it I think I'm working for at least
another 20+ years. Well, working might be putting it a bit strongly.

 

Lucky lucky bastard, wiv wife and 18 year old daughter, bike and car
to support i dont think i will ever retire.

I've just passed 20 years retired. I highly recommend it.

I'm about to **** off to Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and back again.
Life's a fucker sometimes.

How many people work here?
Oh, about half of them...

I had hopes and dreams riding on several thousand options that went down
the drain when the company tanked. So now I have to do it on my own.

 

I don't think you're alone there... I never had 'retirement' options but
had sufficient to clear mortgage, buy second house etc. etc. etc.

Well, I would have had sufficient had the fucking things vested 12
months before the dot.com bubble crashed. As it happened they just
shriveled away. It was rather a humbling experience. Still I'm better
now, my arrogance is almost back to the same level as it was.

 

I think I understand why you like the V-strom and I didn't now... ;-)

 

**** me, you're *only* 85.

You look a lot older IRL.

He doesn't look 85. I thought he was quite a bit younger.

 

If that's a whoosh, it's a spectacular one. The type that sucks your

I must be a closet mathematician then. Mine dew, I was feeling
particulary inspired last week, su ch that when the final bit of
genius idea came to me on Saturday I got the laptop out and finalised
the tech spec. Dead clever, it is, and so simple it'll only take a
week or two to program. Chuffed, I was.
