Scrolling through his music library and posting bands and genres that virtually nobody on here have heard of will also keep the brain in actionLuckily you'll keep the brain active with the editorial work.
Digressing from the theme of the thread, this beauty was on TV this morning, I know you're a fan too.Scrolling through his music library and posting bands and genres that virtually nobody on here have heard of will also keep the brain in action

On Freeview there's a channel called 60's Music, it's really good. A place retirees can dip into.
Had a chat with the missus this morning. If, in 6 months time, we are making no progress with the drug, I will trigger the retirement. If I could do my uni work from home all the time it would be a different story. But getting up at 5.45 to run a teaching lab in London in January is not appropriate for a man in my conditionIs there an end in sight for patenting the drug?
[Just saw your later post].
A personal view, based on the pension pot figure you mentioned on nsc a while back .... leave the Uni post a.s.a.p. So many life and health positives will spin from that, not all mentioned in your posts. Luckily you'll keep the brain active with the editorial work.
Anyone would think that they are understaffed, and directed by HMG to pick off all the low hanging fruit. Who knew?It's got a lot going for it.
I've just had the enjoyment of spending 40 minutes yesterday waiting to get through to HMRC and then 30 minutes this morning, at which point I gave up.
The first time was to see why they changed my tax code on 27 December from my usual 1257L to K872 M1, just to immediately collect an - estimated - underpayment of tax of £613 for this tax year (which might turn out to be right or wrong). Result - my pension payment of £1775 suddenly gets £500 tax taken off. Nice. Another result is that I'm not going to take any more pension payments until they change the tax code back.
This morning, I thought I would ring up to find out when they are going to process my NI top up payment for three years in NI shortfall, so that I get a full state pension. I made that payment on 9 December. Now I can't get through for them to tell me that they're snowed under.
So they've got the time to change my tax code to grab tax off me, (which I may or may not owe come April 6), but don't have the time to process the NI top up payment I made 7 weeks ago, nor answer the phone.
Rant over.
All good thanks, rehab'ing myself on a knee injury ... rushing round the garden putting xmas lights up on 1st Dec, I failed to spot a big drop over a retaining wallHad a chat with the missus this morning. If, in 6 months time, we are making no progress with the drug, I will trigger the retirement. If I could do my uni work from home all the time it would be a different story.

The drug has been granted a patent in multiple jurisdictions, and is protected everywhere that has the wherewithal to steal our invention. What we need to do now is start a clinical study. A mate of mine controls disbursement of millions of moneys in a particular part of the world that has a sub population that would benefit hugely from our drug, if it can be made into a deliverable medicine. My collaborators, however, are procrastinating. I was up late last night trying to set up meetings, and that.
Frankly this is the main reason for maintaining an academic position - my credibility as a front-man for a new drug is diminished if my office changes from 'la di da university, London' to 'the garden shed, back of my house, Faversham'. Or maybe it doesn't, if I create a consultancy we me as the sole employee. Anyway, in 6 months I shall decide...... continued breathing privileges, permitting.
I hope you are well (weller than me, at any road). Cheers!
I've been getting e mails and texts reminding me to do stuff or incur the wrath . . . . I've been PAYE for over 3 years now . . . . Mrs Zef looked into it.It's got a lot going for it.

Probably the very worst few days of the year to try and speak to HMRC in fairnessAnyone would think that they are understaffed, and directed by HMG to pick off all the low hanging fruit. Who knew?
Gleaned from a lifetime in IT, the (abridged) solution would be something as follows:I've been getting e mails and texts reminding me to do stuff or incur the wrath . . . . I've been PAYE for over 3 years now . . . . Mrs Zef looked into it.
I owed them £1.20
Whoa! I hope you've declared this on the debt thread ....I've been getting e mails and texts reminding me to do stuff or incur the wrath . . . . I've been PAYE for over 3 years now . . . . Mrs Zef looked into it.

We topped up Mrs D’s NI recently…..took about 12 weeks to show on her NI record.It's got a lot going for it.

Don't worry about the drug. There are plenty of other drugs available for a minted pensioner.I have sought advice....but it wasn't any help.
My work pension is 'full' (I maxed my AVCs and bought into missing years as we PhDs don't 'start work' till around 30) and yet I am still making it bigger.
My plan is to take my max lump sum and get sonny boy into bricks and mortar. This stays as a tax free gift if I live X years (7?). In North Kent the house prices are low compared with you lot in Sussex. Ssssshhhh! The advice I was given was 'take half that'. Why? I know what to do with the money.
My annual pension income is decent.
Plus I have another job as a journal editor starting in 24. Easy work, from home. That will bring me much the same as my son earns in his day job. FFS
The missus is back in work and she has a good skill set.
Mortgage paid off years ago.
But if I retire I become semi detached from a patented drug I'm developing....so I really need to stay in post....
And my health is failing fast (spine, hips and knees). The travel to work is onerous now.
And my day job is exhausting. I am on here a lot but I multitask. I was working tonight till close to midnight.
Decisions.....decisions....

It was an inocent error. I may have been careless but it wasn't deliberate.Whoa! I hope you've declared this on the debt thread ....
Thanks mate, and good point. I think all the time he performs as he has I'll stick with it but I know what you mean, there's a wealth of information out thereBecause of certain issues, I booked an appointment with PensionWise.
In an hour, I received a wealth of knowledge regarding options that are available to the pensions.
The lady was very helpful and you do get a lot of links in working what you may get in retirement.
If you really know what you want, it might save you having a financial advisor.
