The Pensions Act 2007 raises the state pension age from 65 to 66 years to reflect the ageing nature of the population.

State pension age rises to 67 years between 2034 and 2036.

State pension age rises to 68 years between 2044 and 2046

Pensions Act 2007 (c. 22)

Kind of ...my buddy went off in one shaped like a Corvette...his fave motor. He had a red one.

Reckon when Sean is ready he can (or someone can) have all his bats recycled

As long as mine has piped music inside I shall be fine...and at long last I'll be bl00dy warm

Well, where I'm eventually going it will be. Which has just reminded me of a joke...hmmm, wonder if I can get away with it or will I need to moderate myself. Think I'll send it to you first Steve for a second opinion. Darned good one though

Not my idea but I forget where I heard it... the idea of being buried with a fully-charged mobile phone so that if, IF, something went horribly wrong, you would be able to call for help.

In the same conversation, there was also the suggestion of a voice-activated gravestone with a concealed speaker and a few short phrases recorded before passing. So that if one of your nearest and dearest was kneeling by your gravestone telling you how things were going, your disembodied voice could interrupt with "I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that," or "this is all really interesting stuff. It's so boring down here."

Oh how much fun would that be...

"I'm getting better..."
"Can you bring me some chips next time"
"Dont let the kids spend all my money"

Love Spike Milligans gravestone

"Told you I wasn't well"

Sorry Mike, gone completely off topic

erm pensions you say?

looks like Mike was being generous, the goverment now want to increase the pension age and they think men and women could be working until 70
