    I had my 65th birthday last month, with a year to go before I get my state pension, anyway I went to work last Thursday and just got the sudden mad urge to retire early,so I just fecked off home at 10am and phoned my depot, and told them to send someone to collect my van cos I think you are nowt but a bunch of cnuts and I'm not coming back, It was the happiest day of my life.

    Got to look for a rescue dog to enjoy my long walks with now that I'm retired.

    I'm going to start looking tomorrow, the only problem is, if I go to to a rescue centre I'll want to take all of them home.

    I enjoyed smashing my alarm clock with a big hammer.

    I had the same issue when I went to the cats rescue place. But I took the 2 friendliest cats and they are absolutely awesome and I love them to bits.

    I'm thinking small but sturdy, probably a terrier.

    That was my plan five years ago Graham, to retire at 60 , hope you have better luck than me mate, you are better off to keep working than to finish work and struggle to pay the bills.

    Next Thursday I will be celebrating the fourth anniversary of my retirement.:eek:

    Apparently I will be spending the day mostly house/flat huntingo_O. Let the good times roll!!:rolleyes:

    Retirement means waking up in the morning and having no real idea what day it is:confused:. And as you don't have to get up and go to work does it really matter anyway?:D

    I’ve just had enough of it mate :(
    I’ve got a forces pension that starts aged 60 :)
    It’s not brilliant but it should be enough to see me through until my state pension starts at 67:confused:
    Here’s hoping o_O

    I know how you feel, unfortunately for me I've still got 12 years to go :sob: ...unless there is some sort of miracle with the business I'm involved in.

    Patterdales are my favourites, lovable but utterly ferocious when threatened, I've had 3 of them so I would like another if I can find a rescue one.

    I can see where you are coming from, I hated my job so much, I was starting to get depressed even when I was at home thinking about work, I had to end it for the sake of my health, it was doing my fecking head in giving me impossible workloads every day.

    I went to an animal rescue place, wife wanted a ginger kitten they had, instead we came home with a big fat dirty old cat that had had boiling water poured over it, and had bitten one of the staff on the head that morning !!!! :p

    Enjoy the retirement David.

    And pick the meanest dog you see. It'll love you more than a nice one ever can. :cool:

    So there will now be a boost in uploads to Babes n Bikes:p

    Congrats, when I went to 3 days a week when I hit 60 it was the best thing I had done in years. Other than buy new bikes!!!

    I'd like to get a dog from around this area Jez it doesn't have to be a patterdale just some small dog that can walk lot of miles every day I love walking in the countryside up here, when I was off work at weekends a 10 mile walk from 7am till 10am is just a stroll in the park.
