Retirement
Submitted by big john on Fri, 2009-06-26 12:43
Well after 35 + years working for the man at Midland Brick, my dad retires today.
Happy retirement Uncle, I feel sorry for the few remaining species of fish you haven't caught yet as well as all your favourites that are going to cop a hammering. No more hoping for calm weather just on the weekends.
All the best, and I'll see you in Onslow next weekend.
John

Congrats Uncle
I've been told that the worst part of retirement is trying to find regular deckies that can fish during the week.

I don't know Andy, going to be hard giving back the company car, fuel card and mobile phone IMO.
LOL, I'm sure he will cope.

He deserves to be catching some big ones after putting in for so long.
