Well, telecommuting had its perks, but occasionally working 7 days a week wasn't one of them. Also, I lied when I said it was last Tuesday. It was really the 2nd Thursday of August.Quote:

Unless you're telling me that you just can't rely on the fact-checking of the American mainstream media anymore... ;)

I would like to retire but SGG is still a student. She is supposed to finish her postgraduate degree in June so there is a potential train in the tunnel. :unsure:
How goes it with you? I am sure I was told you were lion taming in Peru or something.
Agree on Obama. There is a lot to be said for a politician that is decent and quiet and doesn't have mad ideas.
It's quality work like that that makes you think your garden is a fake and that you actually have a yard, as I believe the merkins call some slabs with weeds twixt them.Quote:

Years, no problem. Months, yup that's a thing. Days, absolutely, one of my favourite periods of time. Weeks, pish, just made up.
Are you doing the whole work to 65 thing.Quote:

I had thought that beneath you. However if it's for the wean then that makes sence.
I had considered before 60 but the postgraduate thing in Lahndan suggested otherwise. I am thinking next summer. The Chief Exec suggested I stay on until then...since discovered that she is thinking of going then....she didn't get where she is today.....Quote:

Good grief man, if you are paying for her to live in London and some sort of stipend that must be the thick end of 20 guineas a month.
Do the Scottish Government make some sort of payment for advanced degrees or just the first one.
Sadly just the first one and you are behind the times...it is 21 guineas a month these days. I look forward to her graduation in so many ways :)Quote:

I'm guessing something philosophical or food related.
