Yeah, but can he say sausages?

I thought the owner was Kelle Roos at first glance. The bird is probably more of a John 'Budgie' Burridge fan.

Indeed. Not sure how @admira fits work in. He's like the polar opposite to me. Don't collect anything. Don't do holidays. Zero social life. No desire to change any of those 😀

Easy - I'm a council worker!

Following you on Instagram, I find it hard to believe you work full time on top of the social life and travelling you do!

Always a hotel, festival, gig or something going on, can’t see you being a feet up and slippers on kinda guy that’s for sure.

And another gig tonight! 🙂

Lego, crisps packets, Rams memorabilia, vinyl, cd's etc. I call it treasure, the wife calls it 'that c*ap in the attic'

Carlisle away record this season:

Moving from my lifelong home in Suffolk to Derbyshire to be nearer our team is on the agenda for next year.

I might have to learn to speak to strangers though, not natural behavior in these parts!

Good luck and well done. Do you have any kind of plan? It's always said that you should retire into something, rather than just retiring from something. Obviously the something could be anything. Travel, holidays, voluntary work, hobbies etc. You have , hopefully, a very long retirement ahead of you!

I'm terrible for this. Will turn 65 this year, and thinking of stopping at Christmas, as it seems a natural break . Or possibly carry on til the end of the tax year, and finish March 2025. 

 I won't be stopping though, because there's loads of things I want to do. More a case of I've just had enough of work. Like you, been full time since aged 16. 

I have no interest in doing the vast majority of what a lot of retired people seem to want to do. But I'm going to have to find something, and some kind of structure to stick to. 

Thanks. This year is travel, travel, travel but that's what we do anyway (16 trips abroad taken or planned this year). Might look for some a couple of days a week next year because I'll go stir crazy otherwise. Not good at staying in or lazing around! Oh and I'll get a better bike! 

Good luck with your plans too. One of my colleagues died suddenly at his desk at the age of 22 last year and it made me think, right, that's me done with work. Life's too short.

3 more days for me and then I'm done; giving it all up at 58 so a fair few years early.

Any tips and advice from those that have done it? I've worked full time since I was 16 so I know it's going to be life changing but unsure what to expect!
