Well done enjoy the rest mate

well done mate

Heh... it's odd how we make assumptions based on merely text discussions and the choices of user names.

I never would have guessed you were near retirement age.

Smudger, are you *required* to retire when you hit 65?

Congrats, Smudger

I've been procrastinating garden w*rk for days, but later today I'll receive some free and chili plants, so that forces me to go get some stuff

Today I expect to plant sunflower and zucchini seeds in peat pots. In mid-June, I will transplant them outside.

happy birthday SmudgeI'm a year-3 month in front of you,so tha's oni a young'un

Maybe in years but about 20 in you mind Prof.

Now you have to set an example for the rest of us to follow, second childhood here we come

I'm still trying to sort out the consequences of my *first* childhood, let alone the second.

that's exactly why I skipped the second childhood and got stuck here in puberty, paulh

Tom Lehrer likes to joke that he went straight from adolescence into senility without passing through adulthood.

Fpr my part, I seem to passed into the land of typos

My facial hair did that. I couldn't grow any respectable facial hair well into my late 20's. Being a redhead, what did grow in wasn't very noticeable anyway. Finally in my mid 30's I grew a passable Van Dyke (goatee) but it came with grey hairs in.

age is only because some nut counted the sun/moon going roundso sod it and act whatever age you want and while I'm daft, I'll act as a "kid"

so

Quote........." Smudger., are you *required* to retire when you hit 65"


I actually stopped work at the age of 50, as I was invalided out of the service with a back injury, that I got while training?

Smudger.

I never worked, I just attended

I must have picked the wrong job then?

Smudger.

What if *all* jobs are the wrong jobs?

"What if *all* jobs are the wrong jobs?" [paulh]

They are for me

Only if the job requires I bend at the waist, kneel, walk more than a thousand meters, expose myself more than fifteen minutes to the sun, lift more than twenty pounds, do any kind of out of position work, or sit up in an upright position for more than fifteen minutes.

I'm getting to be downright decrepit.
