[courtg9000]

That is a worrying plan B!

FTFY!

My ideas aren't that crap. They do feature a preponderance of circus activities and clown outfits, though.

I retired very young (usual health disclaimer) through having no choice.
I have heard of a lot of permies at my age (late 40's) or similar or older doing things these days such as retraining as teachers or civil servants usually because they have no choice to get out before being kicked out or have been kicked out especially from big4 or smaller big4 competitors.
Retraining could be low capital risk.

What do you do with your time now?

I had planned to semi-retire at that age but decided to keep myself busy with a lazy permie job. I can't yet swan off around the world due to family commitments so I need to stick around and didn't really have any plans to 'do nothing' after life as a contractor. Income isn't the issue because I have investments, so really I'm just in the (quite well paid) permie job for something to do and to beef up the pension.

As for Plan Bs, I always wanted to do something bigger but eventually decided it wasn't in me to work so hard in my 40s and onwards. So it made sense to live off investments rather than work on another business.

I don't like to say too much about my health on here (its bad) but the simple answer is not very much.

I've got a potentially lucrative gig providing quality and valuable content to CUK to keep the forum busy and relevant. Although I must say working B2B is right pain in the arse. I heard payment cycles can be very long much longer that via an agent but Admin hasn't responded to a single sent invoice in 15 years. I'm sure he's just a bit busy so when he does I'll be rolling in it.

I heard Admin had concerns with the quality of contributions!

Admin has no issues at all with the quality of anything produced by NLUK.....
...... He pays NLUK exactly what it is worth.........

How would I get in and out of my unit when I have to change NLUK's nappies?

Its useless without pictures

And now he's told the papers he's going to attract interest from the following bodies and more;-

Public Health for not monitoring the pool to commercial standards
HMRC for the tax, the water board for not paying commercial rates,
National Heritage for use of grade listed propery
Land Registry for change of use
DWP for not letting means tested poor people in
Home Office for not allowing a quote of immigrants in
Fire Service for public safey and fire exits
someone checking his insurances for business use
And just wait for the furor when the first trans person turns up

Should have kept his gob shut.
