Nice article, interesting individual. :thumbsup:

It’s a matter of taste, but golf and after-dinner speakers don’t get my juices flowing. They remind me of works outings you want desperately to avoid. Full of people trying to be clubable management material.

From the Ivan Toney thread:

…

also bumped into Mike Sullivan at The Kitchen in Wraysbury around 1.30 - he left Brentford a few days ago (after many years) and
is now employed by Gillingham - he was getting coffees to go as he and his passenger were on 5heir way to Crewe.

From the Ivan Toney thread:

Nice. He’s a bit Gills fan. Nice guy.

 

[Simon W]

I always remember him from GP days and how he used to walk the match sponsors out to the centre circle for pics before kick off! I reckon he enjoyed that more than the sponsors ?
I think also he was in that plane crash at Swindon with Mark Devlin?

 

[North London Bee]

Really pleasant and helpful guy, always cheerful.

Yes he wanted to work full time and this is his dream job. Fair play considering he is over 70.

Over 70 and wanting to work full time?!?!?

Over 70 and wanting to work full time?!?!?

Too right. What else are you going to do?

 

[Brentford Bob]

If I was over 70 but could still get paid for doing something I love, I’d definitely be doing it.

 

[fencer/bee]

If i was 70 and could still do something i love , i'd bloody well do it

 

[HantsBee]

I am 75 and went for a job interview recently only to be told I don't have enough experience.....

 

[BlueJayBee]

he is over 70

Really? Blimey, he looks pretty good for that age.

Sit indoors, staring at the walls, waiting to die. I genuinely dread retirement.

Good god, best time of my life when I called it a day, I would not be around today if I hadn't.
Doing a bit of gardening, walking football and nice lunches out beats work for me.

Understandable - airline pilots go through years of training.

 

[Downbeat Bee]

Maybe it is just the line I am in, if I was still full time I seriously doubt I’d make 70.

Not at Ryanair....
