Excellent posts by all. Rather sad though. I got 17 years in the ME but booted out for being, as my ex CP told me over a JD & coke (that I bought him) for being a pain in the rectum ! Cared too much. Glad to be out of it and all of you lining your pockets & dreaming of retirement, keep on. It is rough & not the same but boy, I have loved my last 8 years in the Cyprus sun, bobbing about in my Lidle's inflatable, spilling my JD & Coke and shouting at Nigel as he still gets that final base turn all wrong over my pool ! Still treasure the fondest of times.
Was recently asked by a wannabe if I could recommend the career. Spilled my Jack down the front of my Aya Nappa Hard Rock shirt !
