Shock Retirement!

Bob leaves the stage.

It is with deep regret we announce the retirement of Bob.

Bob has decided to hang up his boots, and instead  give his golf shoes more of a workout.

Management and Cru are taking the news manfully enough , but are quietly certain that in many ways Bob is irreplaceable. We knew it was coming; Bob is after all now (a sprightly) 70, but nevertheless it’s a big change to take on board, and we will miss him.

Still he only lives just down the road, and Bob promises to come back in times of emergency, or even a tight spot. Could be worse.

Bob breaks the news at smoko. The Cru reel in shock. Keith slumps despondently knowing his mate won’t be around much any more. And that his legs will be uncontested as the most risible at work.
