Title: Why is it so? Are some people deaf, or just plain stupid?
Post by: Kev Murphy on July 02, 2015, 12:04:15 PM: Phone rings "Hi Kev , it's (Tom/Joe/Fred/Bill) .. you did some work for me a few years ago.... I want some extra power points fitted and a couple of fluoro lights connected... when are you available?"
Me "Uhhh... sorry (Tom/Joe/Fred/Bill) .. but I am now retired, and can't do that work anymore.
(Tom/Joe/Fred/Bill) "I'll pay cash!"
Me "I am no longer licenced... I have been in retirement over 5 years now. If I work without a licence, I am liable for fines of up to $15,000"
(Tom/Joe/Fred/Bill) .. "It'll be ok... no one will ever know!.... Oh yeah... and my brother Jim wants some work done, too!"
Me "How plain do I have to say it?... I am almost 68, My health isn't the greatest, and because of my wonky knee I cant climb ladders or crawl in restricted spaces, and have sold most of my tools."
(Tom/Joe/Fred/Bill) "I can get the boy to act as ferret, and do that for you, plenty of tools here in the shed ..... can you make it here next week?"

Post by: Kev Murphy on July 02, 2015, 04:23:45 PM: Retiring age for me was preservation age 55, but I pioneered on for another seven and a half years at reduced hours, until the Doctor veto'd my working due to wonky knee causing me to fall a few times. Have been waiting for a super dooper plastic and chrome knee replacement now for just over 6 years.

Maybe I should take that metal and plastic device, and beat in Joe Hockeys head with it, before installation?
