I retired 5 weeks ago and I absolutely love it! No problem having late nights as I can lie in next day, can suit myself where I go and when (single man, my ex missus died a few months ago). I plan some days and some days I just roll with it and now my favourite phrase is "no rush" even though I've got terminal lung cancer Cheers, D.

DEAD-PIG PIE

I'm giving greymans lifestyle a go !

Cheers Arry

Just like to say a big thanks to stiffy who messaged me the other day offering me a book which has just arrived today many thanks mate and good luck with the move

Homemade “big b*****d pasty”; Cheated a bit with oven chips ; Cheers.

Tired doing some of these bacon cup breakfast bites deals I keep seeing online.....meeeeh shit never looks as nice as the pictures

Cheap bit of rump and some garlic salt and black pepper wedgie’s, filled a hole

Well that’s me done I finished my last shift last night on the Railway, I’ve really enjoyed it the railway people are a different class of people, character’s helpful friendly and always willing to share skills knowledge and experience. The job I have just given up was high adrenaline and sometimes sad but it suited me lone worker managing incidents and getting things moving again I have had a varied career Pway which is track maintenance, Road Railers for a number of years and also level crossing inspections for about seven years, and the rest of my career as a Mom, Mobile Operations Man

BBC: "Nigel Farage assaults black man"

Quick, midweek chicken ding dong

Spuds doing well despite arrys attempts at sabotage, incidentally the spuds were better where I'd turned in half chewed rabbits bonces

I think the huge rise in GB population is unsustainable. It doesn’t matter what anyones views are on immigration; if we don’t have the infrastructure; houses, schools, hospitals, GP’s, etc, to absorb these people, we simply cant keep expanding the population at the rate we currently are without risking a breakdown of society. Cheers.

All flights on that flight path have been ordered to switch off the Chem pumps because obviously they know you are there as you are being tracked and they know you are on to them mate.

Bloody migrants ruining Thailand lol

Theirs an old saying mate if it weren't for bad luck we would have no luck at all and it seems you have had a belly full of bad luck lately Ray. I really hope things change for you mate and I wish you all the best

Been there, several times. I once clandestinely (no way was my flatmate allowed to see this thing I woke up to) “helped” an older lady out of our flat when I was 23 by telling her I had to work, still pissed, on a Sunday morning at 6:30am in Blackpool….. nobody is innocent When a lady says “you can’t do me up the arse because I’ve just had a camera up there” it really paints a picture

Soiled and seeded around the stepping stone path, used the left over Indian stone to put a bit of patio in front of the greenhouse base, levelled up behind the shed and put some 600 pavers down to give them a bit of hard stand ( they were more pleased with this than anything else that’s been done so far ( lol ) maybe because it wasn’t in the price and I’ve done it for free with paving I had ) large flower beds dug out, just waiting for the patio gear to turn up now and the sets to go around the beds

Derek Chisora is Nigel’s new “Head of Security “ ! Cheers.

My old man turns 70 next mont and is in his 49th year as a signalman and still has no intentions on retirement.Probably because my mother would end up divorcing or killing him within a couple of months having him at home all day.

I have the opinion that over a million Londoners don't have a problem with it, they continue to vote him in and I dont have any intention on going to Londonistan so fook um. Then you realise, like Borr pointed out, its only a matter of time until it comes to a city near you!

Thing is we are a tiny island, England is 50.30m2 and a population of 57million. France is 248.57m2 and has a population of 68 million. Easier to preserve a nice country when you have the room, we are packed in like sardines creating ghettos and shit holes!

The inherent weakness in democracy I think must be us, the voter…..after all, we are the ones electing these total pricks. Ultimately it’s on us. So maybe we either need better leaders who are less democratic or better voters ?…….I’m going for option 2 ! In this day and age you can inform and educate yourself with your phone, in seconds…..there really is no excuse to be surprised or shocked or outraged. There is no excuse to keep making the same mistakes with the same people. Maybe if we don’t start doing better with the things we can control we will end up with someth

Evening down the Kennet canal few wasps this was best of five...

back on the blocks...

I thought of you today,took Mrs M shopping and for lunch in Knightsbridge.The steak looks like a turd,but it’s something a little bit special,Kobe A5,superb meal.

Even in days long before internet and social media his name and terriers were known in Ireland, even by lads like myself that never knew or met him or men like him.... that's saying something. RIP

I think farage may have thrown a spanner in the works for lammy

Noticed through out the election that Dawn Butler and Lammy have been very quite , no doubt labour not wanting to show there true colours until after the election

My mistake mate, read one thing but my mind registered something else

To be fair, Truebrit66 did say ENGLAND, and he’s correct. Cheers.

If you are down at all mate and fancy a meet up let me know, will pop over for a brew or pint if I’m around I think cleave hill is a few miles north along the Cotswold edge from me I,m just down by the Severn at Frampton on Severn

Fancy a night round ere in that little car camper am doing, and a mooch at first light. Maybe put a few trail cams up. I went on google earth and found a park up for the night on top of Cleeve Hill that looks ok. I love getting out and about and noseying round different county’s.

Maybe that's one of the reasons they are trying to get here in their thousands now mate that and all the generous benefits the UK give them for illegally entering the country.

He's jumped the queue government usually waits until more people are on board like diesel incentives then once everyone has one bump the cost of fuel up and declare it a dirty disease ridden fuel and tax the hell out of it...

4:45 my alarm used to go . 12 I was up outta bed , on the float by 5 , off by 0630 , paper up at 0645 , delivered by 0715 , used to run them , sometimes with a dog by my side , Sundays were killers as no milk only papers . Collections Friday 1530 onwards . 30 bar a week , mainly gambled on the the greyhounds on a Friday at Gretna , and then beating Saturday 25 quid a day Sometimes when they hear the clink of glass I feel them milk bottles , three in each hand , good crack

Money can’t buy time,I walked away before I was 50,it was always my intention,enjoy your life,your time is precious,live life how you want to.My lady wants to retire to Thailand,as good a place as any and better than most to live a stress free retirement.

I emailed the local green candidate about their rural policies and got a cut and paste reply including their promises to ban hunting. I replied explaining about hunting and inviting him to visit the local kennels. I got an email back saying if he's elected he will be happy to visit and perhaps they can come up with a compromise on hunting instead

I've decided to make the jump and retire aswel always said I'd retire at 50 but just don't fancy sticking it out that long so just on with squaring a few things up have a 3 week holiday in Sept and retired by Xmas hopefully to sunnier climates .ive hardly worked much this year so far and loved it always enjoyed workin grafted since I was 12 but something just changed this year where I'm just not interested at all or have the motivation on a job today and all I was thinking hope it rains so can get off it

Chicken and flat chips with my first Beef Steak Tomato of the year. I like some mushrooms. Cheers Arry

f**k this life

Little scrap tickle on the way to work, it’s dropped quite a bit, £ 2.64 a kg on the heavy copper and 93p a kg on the clean lead, but it’s a £140 for doing nothing apart from taking it out of a skip so not a bad way to start the day

Had a go on here this morning using just hemp and tares . Had absolutely loads of roach and a couple of skimmers mainly on the pole but also had a few on an old dam quickstick swing tip rod I bought last week

Thanks taffey, you right mate, it been bad 5 months for me, with everything that's come my way. But coming on here, helped me really, as there some good folk on here deff. I just taking one day at a time now, and see what the rest of the year, as for me, hope it bit better than now.

Leeview used to make and sell them. I knocked my own up using the middle section of a blue barrel and some wooden discs in the ends.

He can only be reached by a series of tree knocks after making the long haul up to the Caledonian forest, and then he'll only make an appearance if he knows you've got a bait box full of garlic sausage and Haslet sarnies, he's the shy retiring type you see, even black neck hasn't sampled his rabbit terrine, and he took homemade lemonade and everything
