Last BoB hero passes

[Aces]

She'll also be retiring three years ahead of me and then I can achieve one of my life's dreams and become a "kept man" or "toy boy"

Her birthday is only four days after mine so for four days a year I'm only two years younger than her and then things are back to normal.

Mrs Fube 'retired' per se over thirty years ago and became a housewife. Alas Leigh, for me the 'Toy Boy' dream will never become a reality Her birthday is in August where mine is in December so..... Alak on paper I'm only three years younger for 4-5 months, seems I'm buggered all ways round

Btw, I fell into the 'older woman' trap after seeing a movie more moons ago than I care to admit, called, 'A Cold Wind in August'......... Geezus that's gonna show my age

Regarding Skype, don't have it, but looking into it. Looking forward to that chat in the not too distant future, one way or another

Hi mate,

Well, I think it's only fair that she retires first after years of me sending her down the mines and also her Saturday job as a chimney sweep!. Apart from anything else it'll greatly reduce our shower gel expediture and there won't be so much soot on the carpet either! .
It'll also save a fortune in packed lunches, one apple and one sandwich a day all mounts up, or am I getting confused with Dan Air?.

They say that life begins at 40, so how come I'm more knackered now that I've ever been?. I blame the politicians it's all a con done with smoke and mirrors, then again I blame them for everything from stubbing my toe to the state of the global economy so why should they get away with anything?

Skype is free and if you've got a headset then it's more fun talking than typing, accent shouldn't be a problem should it? mi 'ol mucker

TTFN

I resisted Skype for a long time, but it really is a wonder. It's just like going to a friend's house and having a chat. And, like that, the biggest danger is running out of things to say and feeling guilty for ending the conversation. It's loads of fun to hear Jim say to his wife or daughter "I'm talking to Steve, from America!"

Your lucky, my missus is only six months older than me but I am seriously considering retirement at 55 and she is the only stickler, working in the local M&S and not having an index linked government pension....working hard on convincing her though

[Aces]

I am index-linked as follows the more I earn the worse off we get index

Still love is still very much alive in our relationship she's obviously not plotting to kill me as she just sent me a lovely romantic text warning me not to trip over the cable for the tumble dryer when I get in from work

Yeah I resited Skype too, the thing is, unlike visiting a friend, you are gauranteed that the coffee isn't bitter, the beer is to your liking, you don't have to worry about putting a dent in their cushions or fending off over amorous advances from their dog etc..

Have you not heard the phrase 'keep your friends close, and your enemies closer!'.

[Aces]

I have and I do

A few years ago I ran a TS server for TGW and the Lolwaffles, it rebled up for SubSim use on occasion and Neal amongst others would attend as time permitted.

Skype is even simpler if not only for the fact the server is hosted by the programme itself, Steve and I speak fairly regularly and it is not uncommon to be joined by Neal, TarJak, Niki et al from time to time.

I can definitely recommend it.
