Thick? :eek: Ali.....you must be in the top most intelligent 1% of people in the UK. Your modesty is touching.
I ideally need a job shortly or things may get a bit stressful
. I wish I could carry on with what I do on my own but that is not possible so I need to reinvent myself.
We have talked about the 'plusses' of corporate life but you have broken away and managed it alone. Fantastic and job brilliantly well done. If I were in your shoes I would be celebrating....everybody needs to have what you have :A
On we go......and fingers crossed

Dear Brogden I know there's,a clique on here that think I'm a bad guy but I'm not. Beware of pinning it all on the pension. You know I got stuffed. Calculator out time.The latest is that Osborn is going for public sector pensions. It'll not stop there I fear. Onwards and upwards, it'll all come good xI have borrowed from my future self
The banks are not our friends0 -

I don't know anything about a 'clique.'
I didn't understand what you were talking about before and unfortunately I still don't
Sorry.................I don't wish to be rude but I don't get what you are saying.

I hope I don’t get kicked out of the country.

Well even if you do I hear it's pretty easy to get back in these days. Trip to France anyone

I'm saying that the promise of a pension isn't a guarantee. In my case it's been adjusted downwards 3 times now. If I was starting again I would be putting money into something I was in charge of xI have borrowed from my future self

There is a slight irony in what I say Bob
. I have recently noticed in a number of different situations that some unfortunate people have been punished for doing what they were required or encouraged to do previously..........and then the rules changed
!!
As an englishman I am hoping I will be allowed to stay......I had better ask for a signed and sealed document of guarantee
!!
Bad taste buzzer? I think yesterday was 'national naughty day' :rotfl:!!
