Don't shout cos I'm a lucky git you will get your turn as well !!! 1

Ttaskmaster Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I have a small heater in my garage... Electric bill be damned, I just have to avoid getting caught using it!

Don't shout cos I'm a lucky git you will get your turn as well !!! Can't wait for December 2016, and I can chuck work in for good. I'll have been at work then for 45 years and have just evaded the changes to retirement age so can finish at 65. It looks as if my income will be reduced by some 2/3rds, as Govt and mis-managed insurance companies have robbed me of significant sums, and been allowed to get away scott free, with only a fraction of the losses paid back "to reduce the threat to the public purse". BUT I AM THE PUBLIC AND ITS MY PURSE THAT HAS BEEN ROBBED. Ah well, not like you youngsters, be working till 70 soon Enjoy
welshwan Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 70 PFFFTTT. They work out retirement age by how old people are living on average (among otherthings) - and let's face it that people who work labour intensive jobs will NOT live as long as office workers. I'm 21 now and am pretty sure they'll have us working till about 80 for scraps of gov pensions.
georgen Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Well got to work at 5:25 to find front gates being cut through, 4 full large propane bottles gone, a damaged roller shutter a the heavy duty trailer gone and the security cameras pointing to the sky, the cheeky beggars had even stripped a large amount of steel work off the trailer as it was converted to carry window frames, the base was a plant trailer. So apart from being the first day back for manufacturing I had to sort this little lot out too, police were on time, they made an appointment to come between 8 and 9 o'clock at arrived at 08:15, appointments pff whats the world coming to.
jimmy Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 I worked my normal 4 on 4 off, so was working both Christmas and New Year. Back again tomorrow, ho hum
dt502001 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 LOL kids have been off school for 2 weeks and today suposed to be first day back and well........... snow day off ........we got 1.5 feet of snow or more last night and its hasen't stoped yet..vis is about 50 ft right now...storm blew in from the east last night and now its blowing from the west. Saturday it got up to 0c and the deck was clear now 2+ feet of snow,I plowed the lane 4x in the last 24hrs my neighbour just came with his hi ho loader and pushed the snow banks back so I have some place to put more snow. Just read that its a CND site hosting possibly they are in a power out?1/3 of eastern ontario/canada has been without power since the ice storm weeks ago and myPower has been up and down,, out for 4 hrs middel of the night came on for about 2hrs and its back out again,only thing to do here now is to keep the fire place stoked up and recharge my deep cell batteries....or go fishing? Ya that sounds like a idea might as well pike perch and pickerl are biting on wildwood lake

Politicians then use the higher average as justification for raising the working age Its all about cutting public spending 1

Take care fishing Pike and perch - remember catching them up in the Lake District here, ate both types. Pike is a bit earthy, perch was nice.
