Your ageist comments are so uncool Roo.
Like when I helped you set your 2nd contact breaker up correctly and you said I understood it because "contact breakers are more your era"
If you can't say something nice don't say anything.

PS got my bus pass today! There thats made you envious!

You snaperwhiper you, why am i still doing 40 hour weeks(in 4 shifts) at 70?




Oh yeah the buiding society insisted

[Multiman]

You have my sympathy.
I'm still doing a day a week which I do enjoy, but its got a 3.5hr round trip commute attached to it, so I leave at 07.00 and get back at about 20.00-20.30 and I am cream crackered.
Not sure how many of those I could manage now.

My license was due to be renewed on the 28th this month. I thought a fair bit about it and decided if I didn’t have a valid license they would stop asking me to work!🤣 I am now HGV negative! Feel liberated. Happy Days! (sorry Bryan) 🤣

I gave up my HGV this year as well Johnny, just couldn't justify the £100 medical, I was thanking of maybe doing a few days on the agency but they said I had to have driven within the last 6 months so I needed a refresher course. Only been driving the damn things for over 40 years so how they can think I don't know how to do it is beyond me. I did renew last year but didn't do a days work so why bother. Plus you need to renew your other licenses every year as well, I didn't do that at one point as I thought they were all valid till 70 but no, had to go on a course and they said your license has expired and I said no just the HGV but it appears not to be the case.

I have most of my teeth thank you.
I am tired because I couldn't get to sleep as I was trying to understand why the top half of the piston stroke is faster/further than the bottom 90 deg.
Fortunately I had alight bulb moment so I hope to sleep better tonight.
Have a good time fishin.

It’s stair rods here, gonna doss in the car park and get up at sparrows to have a mooch and see where they’re hiding. Then it’s fish scaring time.

I’ll bob over next week and hear the Swiss watch that is the 400 after your fiddling

What the hell Ken! Refresher Course?? Yes bit of an insult!  Medical here was going to be £180. Wasn’t a problem, employer said they would pay. But just decided this retirement game is for me. Plenty going on!

Thanks Roo! Could do with just a couple more degrees of heat sometimes, other than that it’s great.
