Thread: Giles

Such sad and unfair news. I always stopped in Taihape to chat with Giles and usually made a purchase or two as he always had something that was below the competition. If you had something in mind he could 99% of the time get it and on sell for less than others. My last chat with Giles was on his second to last day in the shop and he was very much looking forward to pottering around on his wetland, fishing, boating, and enjoying some time to relax. Will be sorely missed and my heartfelt condolences to his family. RIP Giles.

Sad news, good bugga… shot ducks next to his place a few times. Always a good stop off … Gretna pub and see what Giles had in the rack.

Thats sad news. I brought one rifle off him and he was great to deal with. Rest in peace.

Bloody hell , that’s a rip off , very sad …RIP

Funeral 9 Jan 1pm Anglican church

Oh what a bugger, he was the man when it came to pricing on Leupolds!
RIP

A good send of with a few industry boys there.
Just down right sad.

Greetings all,
62 is definitely short changed by todays standards although I have been to far too many funerals for those gone too soon. To answer the question about when to retire it's not when but how. Retirement takes prior training by ensuring that you have a full life outside work long before retirement. I took the best part of a decade to progress from full time to not working at all. This is much harder if you run your own business.

Good points

I met a couple of over-retirement-age truck drivers working out of Masterton 3 days a week driving concrete trucks - they reckoned it was great to be earning and have the pension and a 4 day weekend too - sounds like a nice balance

Im nearly 76 and fit a day or sometimes 2 of work in a week. Pads out the retirement funds and keeps me current and my mind active. Off to the UK for 5 weeks in a few days. I'm gagging to get home already and I haven't left yet
