Happy Birthday Dave. I turn 49 one month from today. I just hope I only have to wait 16 years until I retire.

Then I can start thinning out this stash of models I've been saving for just that day.

I'm not after retiring from life, just getting out of an office as soon as my pension lets me, then I can find a job I enjoy without having to worry about earning enough to pay the mortgage - and the kids will have left home! (which will give me a spare room for my models!)
