Guest caraprof Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 peter - 2007-10-09 10:05 PM I will Frank. As I don't discriminate. I take the p*ss out of everybody equally. :D A bloke I once fired said: "Now that I'm going I can tell you that you're a right bastard".But I brightened up when he then said: "But I have to say that you are really fair."Says I: "Oh, am I really, that's nice?""Yes, says he, you're a bastard with everyone!"

Guest caraprof Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 J9withdogs - 2007-10-09 10:19 PM I'm exactly twice as old as my son (lol) Some of us have good memories J9 and know how to use the 'Search' facility!This from the 'Greatest Achievements' thread, or whatever it is called.Written by J9: Here's me wondering how I've raised my lad single-handedly for 25 years without killing him.Now let me think, what's twice times 25 - got it, 39!Now of course you may have only started the single-handed raising when he was ten, so that would now make you................. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Bry Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 K&D - 2007-10-09 8:48 PM on the claim to fame thread people are going on about how they have achieved retirement, what would you say would be the right time. Whenever you feel the time is right for you.!!I've been runnning my late father's business for a number of years now & sometimes I think why??Me & "Mrs Thai" have no children to leave it to, we are comfortable now, so why do I carry on??Because I know what kind of person I am, and would not know what to do, if I woke up without a purpose to make a few "bucks"Thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly how I was when I was a Production Manager in a factory. That way everybody knows where they stand. No favouritism and people advance on their merit and not because they are mates with the Manager. Worked just fine for me and all my staff were happy (I think). Work hard as a team and get good money, simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest caraprof Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 J9withdogs - 2007-10-09 10:43 PM Lordy, Lordy - there's no fooling you Frank :D Now admit it, you wouldn't have owned up if I hadn't had such a good memory. I was pretty sure that you'd mentioned a son and some age, so a quick search for the word 'Son' with J9 as the author, and bingo!I'm quite pleased with that actually!

Tomo3090 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I retired 12 months ago next Friday at 50. Ann got made redundant 6 weeks later. We bought our van with a bit of my pension cheque and her redundancy money. WE absolutely love it and if it wasn't for my Sciatica we would be away now most likely! To anyone considering it that can afford it, just do it! I haven't missed work one bit. I have missed the people I worked with, but not the job itself. Which has surprised everyone because I did enjoy it. I will now only take on work that allows me to go on the road when I like! Never been happier either! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
