Get a f kn job cyclist you lazy git ??? me done with it all now, threw towel in this afternoon. Walked off site. Right way with gaffer etc. My feet are done now sadly after leg ops. Worked from 11 yr old. Feeding women and children well, basically ex wife and ex with youngest son and csa. Pride hurts as I now need £18 a month dentistry and pay for any work as, the letter says they are struggling. I mean wtf. Just keeps giving got to give hotels now. With their pride of work for many years.
I actually nearly shed a tear. Not for those I don't want to feed and keep. Their conflicts crack on. But more the service. I have given. But I am but a national health number. Who's aging and brings nothing to the party. Like work f ck em all. Cost nothing to put your feet up. It's the keeping em warm.

@Bowie. No work for me until September.
Got my son for the summer holidays. His Mum is too sick to care for him now.
I'm thinking of sending some football stories to papers and websites for £££s. Nottm Live often nick some of my stuff for their Forest stories anyway.
I don't mind work, just hate making other people rich for a living. Bosses are the problem, not work! ?.

And Bowie, don't let the B'stards beat you, mate.
13 Aug 2025 18:02:05

Enjoy your retirement Bowie. If your feet are knackered maybe consider taking up wheelchair rugby as a hobby? I think you'd love it. Newcastle Falcons WRC are a brilliant bunch of people who 'play hard and party hard'.

Good luck and best wishes Bowie and Cyclist. Life can be a tough bloody gig sometimes….

Reds together thank you all. One team we move on. Strength and depth. I can relax now. Emotional as it's all I know. ?❤️?.

Had to finish at 55 planned to work till 70 but you realise you're not a super human anymore and you have to put you and yours first good luck for the future. Remember every day you wake up and put your own trousers on is good day! ??????.

Bowie mate, I wish you all the best in your retirement. I’m guessing it wasn’t the way you wanted to finish, but you have got to do what is right for you. And going on your past posts etc, you are quite prepared to say it as it is! An admirable quality that not many have.
It will probably feel strange for the next day or two, but give yourself some time to get your head round it!
I don’t really know you very well, but, again, going by your past posts, I do think I know what makes you tick! When you wake up tomorrow, you will have the yank ( I mean that respectfully by the way! ) and your family, and as you keep saying, when it comes to it, that’s all that matters! Plus you have your Forest family!
Love what’s in front of you mate.
And the same wishes to Cyclists too.
13 Aug 2025 20:31:15
Same here to the both of you!
Well done Bowie!
Make sure you go to plenty of "Drive In Saturday's! "

Off licence it is then, we can both find a war memorial, prop ourselves up against it and hurl insults at passers-by, seems to be the fashion here in pool??☠️?.

Thanks folks. Goodwill back at you!

There is another way of looking at work
I really enjoy mine and have worked as a soke trader for 47 years, no advertising and still enjoy it at 68
I work for a lot of wealthy people and most have made their money by building business and working hard and gambling their money on it being a success, without such people there wouldn't be jobs
That's what makes the world go around or you'd have anarchy.
