Retirement
« on: February 25, 2013, 02:31:13 PM »
Almost feels as though Iam at present due to the horrendous lack of werk.  Banghead Banghead Banghead

Tell you though, even IF I could afford not to werk, I just cannot EVER see me sitting back, reading my bank statements, doing a bit of gardening, leaning on the fence with me flat cap nattering to the neighbours, going down the P.O. for me pension every week, day trips to The Asda and B and great big bastard long Q, lah dee dah dee diddly dum dum.


Highlight of the week, down the oap club for 'luncheon' follwed by crown green bowling and a sherry! ::)
PISS OFF! NO BASTARD CHANCE! Angry9:

Or worrabout joining the local 'Ramblers Association' then p'raps?
 3 mile gentle downhill walk for those with terminal bunyon prioblems and a migrane, led by ex Colnel Doasyerfuckin'toldyounastylittleman. cussing:

Christ on a bastard bike, what a bloody way to exist ey? eeek:

May as well just bring that bastard BIG black bus RIGHT now, RIGHT NOW and let me get on the whoreing thing if it ever comes to THAT!^^^ Banghead

Not just you Growler - I think a very high percentage of blokes are the same. Especially when you hear of those who croak it 6 months into retirement. Boredom is te biggest killer if you've spent your life "busy"  noooo:

Well at least you've got frens to go the ale 'ouse with.

IF and when i go, it's usually on me own, 'cus i ain't got any frens anymore.
The only one I had has turned into a fuckin' 'pipe and slippers' merchant, wanting to sit at home all the time now, snoring in front of the tv whilst holding hands with his DARLING wife....FFS!!! Banghead
Come the summer though, he'll really push the bastard boat out, and polish his friggin' hoe and shuvel, and measure out the green contrasting lines on his bastard lawn. Shocked:

I think it depends on your outlook and interests ...........If you just sit in front of the gogglebox and wait for the grim reaper ...........But in Paphos there are over 10,000 retired ex-pats and not all are alkis.......all seems pretty happy ....(although most are tossers).....

NEVER a truer werd spoken.

I personally know several cases that fit that criteria VERY sadly.

Work ALL your bastard life, then croak it after a few weeks.

Pitiful and heartbreakingly sad.

I think this must be ferreting away in the back of me mind tbh.
I'd rather be deded than bored rigid, but I'd MUCH rather be out and about snufflin' and exploring, meeting sheeples here there and everywhere, grunting growling ansd snarling at evrythink that crosses me path like. evil:

Some folk tell me I'll give meself an 'eart attack with all me consatnt ranting and raving on me soap box, but i tell 'em NO, actually all this release of pent up frustration acts like a release valve, otherwise you just get SSSSSSSSSo stressed out, yu ticker explodes! :thumbsup:

It all depends on your interests. My mam and Dad moved over here a few years ago. Sold up in UK and rented a lovely bungalow in the village. I have never seen my Dad happier. He spent the days fishing off the rocks in the bay, swimming, ,snorkling, building fences at the donkey sanctuary, helping look after all the animals at the charity rescue place, a few beers with me when the footie/rugby was on, landscaping a gorgeous garden,, built me my aviary etc. He had a few stress related illnesses in the past which cleared up, he never looked healthier.
  My mam, however was bored stupid cos the only thing that interests her is shopping and because they were no longer working, they had to mind the pennies.

  Now they are back in England, my Mum went back to work, my dad had to get a crappy job and is now miserable.

Horses for courses ey/

All a fine balancing act that has to seemingly be tailored to ones own preferences. rubschin:

Dunno wtf I'm going to do.
Loads and loads I could do IF I had the dosh like. ::)

You'd never see me in here, as I'd be out in the wilderness's exploring the unknown andd visiting me furry frens well up north.. cloud9:

Meanwhiles., I need to werk to help me realise my ambitions to go the places i need to go
