    Let’s not complicate things here by adding extra letters, it’s simple for a simple person

    I had hair back then. I added the o to make it sound more cool.

    I retired early a couple of years ago and I know it's an old cliché but I'd say make sure you keep busy.
    Most of us dream of doing more travelling which may happen but is probably only going to occupy you for a few weeks of the year. Similarly with hobbies. You're not likely to spend as much time as you think on hobbies (in my experience).
    So, the way I keep busy is to volunteer as a trustee for two charities (Citizens Advice and a local grade 2 listed building and it's estate) and as a business advisor with a nationwide sporting charity. This enable me to still do the type of work I quite enjoy, finance, governance, business planning and project management (financial not building related) without committing to which days I work (other than attending meetings of course). Believe me, most charities are crying out for trustees.

    Put as much as you can afford in and then pray Liz Truss doesn’t become PM again

    I’m 78 this year and retired in 2011. I worked on British Aid projects in developing countries mainly in Africa but I’ve carried on doing odd bits since. But only one visit a year now, the whole airport experience can get a bit much and 2 weeks in, say, Nigeria, is enough for me now.

    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!

    Turns out selling your club and racking up a £300 million debt to an (alleged) homicidal, global, drug trafficker, with a penchant for home fires, hasn't quite led to the sunlit uplands of European football and worldwide adulation they'd hoped for.
    They are trending, mind! 😂

    The Sky-lead MSM conspiracy against Notts Forest continues. Can't wait for Clatters next article in The Daily Sport.

    "Managing upwards" is stressfull in any job when it's needed as I'm sure many of us have had to deal with at times, but this sounds like a really not fun task for the media person to have to deal with.
    "but Mr Creosote this is probably libellous and will utterly ruin the clubs reputation in the eyes of the league and many fans...no don't eat me...don't burn my family...give it the second half to even out...please...."

    ariotofmyown reacted to Mucker1884 in How is that offside?   
    I see you refer to "the precise moment that a gap appears between the foot and the ball" (i.e. when contact twixt foot and ball is completed.)
    I'd argue it needs to be when that gap first disappears... when foot first makes contact with said ball, and thus before all compressions are effected.
    Firstly, that would occur sooner, thus giving the "advantage" to the attacker.  And secondly, I'm a complete arse, and just wanted to pooh-pooh your theory for the craic!
     
    Either way, we need to add more cameras, more eyes in the shed at the bottom of the garden, more monitors, some "infra-red tangent threads" (Patent pending) on the ball, and some sort of beeper that marries the ball contact with the attacker's position.
    Oh... and more time for the experts to digest the given information before confirming to the excited audience whether they have just witnessed a goal... or not!
    Simples!

    So you can get fined for not playing a strong team in the EFL cup vs the likes of Sheffield Utd u21s when you are unable to still qualify from group, but you can play a joke team in League One meaning another team can go down?

    I love how unengaged their fans are. How they have to explain to each other the scenarios for them to go up. One of them "thinks" they'll go up on goals scored if GD is level.
    How are they gonna get their head round the playoffs?
