What to do?

Can I enroll you into the OPC  then Roys ?     

Is that Old Person Club, if so I'm your man, although I have retired a bit early.

and was hoping for my own invite, :C

Sorry Stepps  , its the Old Pharts Club ,  opium could be an option in the future  I suppose .

Membership is the main thing at the moment , it was just me before  with Kerch as an honourary member in charge of whinging , moaning , grumbling and composing dislike lists . 

I visualise a seperate section on the Forum , where we talk of  pounds , shillings & pence ----- feet & inches and cars with no engine management systems  but  starting handles and carburettas .

Declared voltage will be 440V  / 240V    and cable colours will be  R-Y-Bu- Bk .  

There will be no music recorded after 1970 , lead will be re- added to petrol  which will be sold @ 5/- a gallon .

Everyone will smoke , drink Mild or bitter , stand up all through  football matches prior to be beaten to a pulp by opposing fans .

England will remember how to score goals.

TV screens will revert to vivid  B&W ,  those 500 channels will all disappear leaving Beeb1, Beeb2 & ITV & at midnight broadcasting will cease until 9.00am . 

Residents of Coronation Street will be evicted and replaced by Ena Sharples & Elsie Tanner et al  .

I did an HNC and HND, both part time and each took 2 years. HNC at Newbury, and HND at Reading.

Where it got me was designing and building industrial machinery. When I left 14 years ago (almost to the day) I was earning £40K I don't know what that would have escalated to now if I had stayed in that line of work. I begrudged the large % of my salary that the tax man took, followed closely by the building society.

I gave it all up to get out of the rat race, and ended up mortgage free by moving somewhere substantially cheaper. With the much lower outgoings it enabled me to take a step back and go back on the tools working mostly just part time. Earning a LOT less but having a better standard of living.

Didn't have Clive or Niven for the Newbury course did you Dave?
