i just wish..........

Postby Phantom » Fri May 15, 2015 2:25 am

At times like this (just after 0315), I wish camelots big finger would appear above me.

I don't want a whole jackpot, just enough to dump the mortgage.

So I could just get a job that is "normal" hours......

Maybe part time stacking shelves somewhere........

Instead of having to face the fucking m25......... again !

Hey ho ! we can but dream.........

I find that I fantasize more about retirement than sex. ;D

Retirement is great, I retired last Dec...the biggest shock is the drop in money :o :o
To win enough to feel safe would be out of this world. ;)
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Not feeling safe is why I still go to work. I don't want to spend my retirement in worry.

I don't earn enough to retire, I'll just carry on doing what I do then drop dead doing it with little inconvenience to the firm!!

Unbelievable.....

Expecting the worst (hence the post in the first place), but it's easy to be wrong - especially with the poxy M25.

The particular jobs today ? Never done 'em quicker.........

Still done me lottery though, cos despite the desperately small odds, if you ain't in it, you can't win it........

That's why I don't miss HGV driving one bit gave up on it about 5 years ago, I've no mortgage or rent to pay, OK my salary isn't brilliant now but not getting up until 7am and home at a sensible hour is brilliant. I nearly didn't renew my licence last year but its still pretty much useless at the mo anyway, I haven't got that dumb arse CPC and my digi card has expired .

Facing a fucking M25...again
is (as you may expect) a bit esoteric for a humble Aussie rural landlubber like myself. ???

No matter, Phantom....its a fine thing to wish for progress, it proves beyond reasonable doubt that you are still alive!
...... and iffen you cant win a fortune soon then I hope that, when you apply your whisky, it feels like you're a winner regardless. ;)

Happy World Whisky Day ;D

The m25 is the motorway circling London.
It is considered a car park by anyone by most... but just occasionally you can also get somewhere!

Same result.......as usual

I did drop the euro one tuesday night, but they must have got the address wrong, as they've only sent me £3.50 so far. I'm still waiting on the rest of the 37 million. Maybe I get it at 350 per week ? so it's gonna take 'em a while to send the whole lot............ :-\
