    I know where you're coming from. Have you got an eye on what you want to do next, if you don't mind me asking?

    I retired four years ago

    But I'm using the time to study. Hopefully, if I obtain the appropriate qualifications, I can get another job in the future in that specific discipline.

    I accept I'm very fortunate to be in the position I am, so am determined not to waste the opportunity.

    12:15. I remember a Boxing Day fixture against Wednesday many years ago (1982?) with a similar kick off time. I must confess I had a hell of a hangover, along with about another 25 000. It ended in a 0-0 draw, with Glavin hitting the post in the first and again in the second half. I think!:D

    I can't remember (obviously due to hangover & now old age!), but it certainly sounds very likely!:D

    All the best with whatever you do next, tyrone1. 28 years is a heck of a long time in one job so it must be quite a weird feeling to finish. 7 is my record and that felt like for ever.

    Tyrone 1 - all the very best in what you do next.

    You and JLWBigLil have exactly the right attitude and approach.

    After 17 years with the same company (a charity, actually), I wallowed in self pity for too long and should have got my arse in gear sooner. I have now, with my own business, and am enjoying every minute. Financially it's good too!
