:d'oh! Probably a case of him being in the job so long he does'nt
have anything else in his life,has become instituionalised and more
than likely sees RM as the be-all and end-all in life(sad really)but
it's old dog.....new tricks....does'nt compute for him,shame,had
a few like that in our office over the years,good folk but just
could'nt take the RM blinkers off. :sad: :sad:

I know a few guys who,if it wasn't for work would drink themselves into oblivion.
So maybe it isn't such a bad thing for everybody.
Me....i have no fear of oblivion at all. :whistle
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

He has very little interests in life, he has been in the job over forty years and has had more then his fair share of knocks in life.

He has been up again this week enquiring how much he would get now, he will not go in fact I know he plans to stay on past sixty five.

Good luck to him he is a bloody good bloke, each to his own
I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
