Come on you Rams seize the day 🐏🐏🐏

I think this sort thing is more in the spirit 🐏
 
We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We shall defend our island whatever the cost may be; we shall fight on beaches, landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender
Or perhaps Henry V
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother.
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Me too. I actually worked in the Company's Pension Department so I always considered myself savvy with regard to my own pension.
Of course, while we bemoan the grasping hands of the current government, let us not forget that bundle of laughter, Gordon Brown. At a single stroke, in his first budget after becoming chancellor of the exchequer, he eventually obliterated company pension schemes by withdrawing the tax credits on dividends to a tune of £5 billion a year. That's £5,000,000,000. It's estimated that this has now taken about £250 billion out of company pensions, over 20 years.
Of course, what few company pension schemes are left hold hardly any British shares, so that particular cash cow has gone to the knacker's yard.

Make a clean break with work.
Don’t keep “nipping in for a chat”
Any activities groups or voluntary work you may get involved with needs to be unconnected with the type of work you were paid for!
You have retired!
Enjoy it!
You’ll soon wonder how you found the time to go to work!

If they wanted to keep the pitch for football, then we'd not have hired Paul Warne.

Friday at last 🐑, in what has been one of the longest weeks ever 

A very balanced view from the other side 🐏

I’m quite happy for Carlisle to show us they can play as long as they don’t show us they can score 🐏🐏🐏

How can we even consider loosing on Saturday with such avian vocal support 🦜🦜🦜

Last episode, even the last five minutes, are excellent. Some series completely screw up the finale and leave you feeling you've been a bit cheated, Ashes To Ashes is one that didn't.

I've bee retired over 10 years now, with my hobbies, the garden, house jobs,  my wife's jobs, holidays, Children, grand children, great grandchildren, there's not enough time in the day.
Work was highly over rated I don't miss it one bit, it always got in the way of my hobbies.
@admira In my experience you will soon find there are not enough hours in the day, retirement is not all comfy chairs and a nice nap in the afternoon😂 ...................well not very day.
