@justasking111

Looks like over 50, overweight, health issues, stay locked up and let the rest of the UK crack on. Well one problem with that the retirement age is 67 and employers are not on board.
Retirement age is currently 66 thank fuck. I've got 5 months to go. But for those much. People that were 65 before last Oct got theirs at 65. I think it's people that are 60 this year that have to go to 67. 43 or younger and it's now planned at 68

Aye, I'm 50 and my kids wouldn't be on board with me becoming a hermit. I would soon become overweight with health problems if I did, too.

God I'm only 25 I'm not gonna last until I'm 68. Saying that it'll probably be about 78 by then won't it.

I got my pension statement through the post (telling me I may have enough to hold a party but not much more) and it tells me I only have 23 years to go....

In better news I sang my first professional gig since February this morning. It felt amazing despite having to wear a mask between musical items. Hoping I get more but not holding my breath...there are a lot of musicians out there and not a lot of work at the moment.

Oh huzzah. I may be requested to stay at home for my own good. Am eagerly awaiting my spare room, desk, office chair and 2k/month furlough money. Where do I get the forms?

Absolutely true.

[quote InsaneInTheViralMembrane]@Willow2017 I worked in a supermarket cafe 30 years ago. I came to hate people more than is potentially necessary. I ended up booking a one-way flight to Asia and doing a runner.

It was a truly hateful job.[/quote]
Oh I wish I could do something that.

That is a truly great potato.

Christ @Littlebelina, that looks like it should have batteries inserted!

@TrustTheGeneGenie I can't believe you're only 25. You're so much cleverer and funnier than I was at that age.

Littlebelina · 13/09/2020 16:16

It's, umm, smaller than it looks. It's a type of salad potato called a pink fir apple and they are known for being knobbly. This one was particularly amusing though

InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 13/09/2020 16:25

What did you do during lockdown?
D's: #madememories (shit crafts), baked banana bread, strengthened my marriage

AD's: Deliberately grew vegetables I knew had a high chance of looking like genitalia.

That's 2020 in a nutshell.

Ahh thank you! I bet you were more clever and funny than you give yourself credit for!

WouldBeGood · 13/09/2020 16:29

I was a complete twat when I was twenty five

HeIenaDove · 13/09/2020 16:48

That's some rude potato!

"It's, umm, smaller than it looks."
Is that not always the way?

InsaneInTheViralMembrane · 13/09/2020 17:17

Other people aged 25: mature, articulate, funny, family-orientated and career-driven.

Me: gets baps out on ITV at the start of a riot and tries to seduce hardvard lacrosse team in a serial killer motel in the Everglades.
