Nah sorry, 
… but that vid got the same reaction from ne as the pic when I watch it…ie
‘‘Silly old ■■■■■■■
If he’s an owner driver with no hp on his truck,.surely to Christ he’s made enough to retire.
He should be sat in his back garden relaxing on his deck chair wearing his cardigan and slippers eating Werthers originals and a beer.
Btw anybody got a link to that old film in the link, with the old 50s trucks pulling into Jock’s Cafe.? I’d like to watch that.

Speaking of fasting ^^^^^^^ about a year ago i decided that on Tuesdays and Thursdays that the only thing to pass my lips would be water (I actually cheat and have one cup of coffee first thing otherwise life would be unbearable) and MY GOD what a difference it makes! I’m much more awake and alert on my fasting days and my quality of sleep on the fasting nights is amazing. We are designed to go to bed hungry, try it sometime it’s amazing.Indeed.It’s all about graduality,push 12 hour periods to a 16…a 16 to 18 and if doing it for health reasons 36 and the ‘golden one’ at 72 hours.Dr Mindy Pelz on youtube is my default source of info and there’s a lot of foundational knowledge needed to do it properly but those ‘Stem-Cells’ that work as the repair crew need a lot of coaxing to activate,they diminish with age but i’m hearing incredible tales locally of even diabetes being reversed and paradoxically it gets easier with longer fasts as the body gets disinclined to process junk food.Dieting is futile,you need to be healthy to lose weight not the reverse…it happens anyway.I’ve gone 13 stone to 10 over 2 years.Nice seeing a little abs definition but it wasn’t the ‘main aim’ sort of thing.
Never ever did I think the topic of fasting would come up on this forum!
Literally just came off the back of a 72 hour water fast last week after two years of regular intermittent fasting. What a feeling, incredible amounts of energy and mental clarity, plus the added bonus of weight loss, mostly fat with maybe a small amount of muscle. Not sure I could have done it sat at home, have to keep your mind busy but a low carb diet + fasting is the way to go IMO!
Salutee…the period between 48 and 72 hours is where miracles occur.Definitely seeing signs of improvement after my own 72 outing.I noticed my achiles tendonosis radically improved a few days after the first72 fast (dry one) .
The classic mistake by rookie fasters (myself included) is breaking it by gorging on the stuff that will undo all the hard work as the newly seeded gut-flora needs nurturing in order to fully re-colonize,needing sauerkraut,peanut-butter and other ‘good fats’ before moving to proteins-eggs,fish,meat etc.plus it makes the next fasts more difficult as the autophagy phase will have all that stored glucose from the ‘gorging’ to process before the stem-cell repairs can begin their magic again.
I approached the NHS for dietary advice on the blower '‘eat avocados and nuts’ is the best they can offer ie,they don’t recognize fasting which doesn’t surprise me given they’ve all but been weaponized against us as we’re increasingly witnessing lately,but you DO 
need the ducks in a row to avoid possible snags such as monitoring glucose and keto levels as they need proper balancing,ideally with a cheapish device readily available online.‘Keto-flu’ can be a drag,especially during winter
Early days for me with this but who would have thought that the key to salvaging health,damaged by lifelong crap foods,is by essentially binning it, being the real way to a complete re-vamp by allowing natural mechanisms to occur.of which there are several,and which are designed inherently to repair through the miracles of Autophagy ? (self-eating of damaged cells).Game deffo worth candle.

We need Trucknet retirement correspondent Carryfasts view on this.
Depends on if ol’ mate also performs warehouse duties, too.
On the subject of ol’ mate, he’s properly licenced and legal and probably doing the job better than blokes half his age. Leave him to make his own decisions.

That he reaches his 9th decade in a trade not exactly conducive to good physical/mental wellbeing is the real story.What robust seed corn ancestry we lost in those satanic,bankster wars.?

I reckon the dozy one will end up working until his 90’s & still be stressing if he doesn’t get 84hrs a week.I doubt it, he’s more likely to die behind the wheel.
probably a heart attack due to stress and be the richest man in the graveyard
Better died at work or in truck than seating at home only,just drinking,sleeping and listen radioBS.

A 90 year old is in his 10th decade.

Not big difference died at bed or at 56 m/h.More early people stop working,that more early he lost own brain,more early died.

Feel sorry for the guy still driving a wagon at 90.Should imagine hes spent his life living to work,and has no sort of life other than work. Bet he cant remember when he last had a holiday if he`s had one or enjoyed any sort of social life

Perhaps he loves going down the road in his lorry, and his whole life has been experienced by him as a holiday. If it has, then he’s richer than most.
switchlogic:
Maybe he’s simply doing what he wanted to do. And I’d go so far as to say anyone who’s still doing a job he enjoys at 90 has likely had a happier life than the vast majority in this industry. I’ve never had much of a social life, I lived in a lorry for over a decade and loved it. I didn’t need a social life as I didn’t have any need to escape work. Yeah plenty of people think I’m sad and a weirdo but when you’re really happy at how your life has turned out you don’t really need others approval
Maybe he’s only happy because he’s totally oblivious to everything else, he knows nothing else, no holidays, no relationships, no social life, nothing, so no comparisons to make with what others would term as a better way to spend your old age.
As somebody else said he’s more than likely been a live to work type of guy,.rather than a work to live…a concept I have never grasped personally.
I reckon if he had given himself the chance to experience what most of us would describe as a better way to lead your life,.especially when coming to the end of it he would have had different opinions.
I could maybe begin to understand it (but only up to a very limited point) if he was doing places like Italy,.Greece and Spain, or ‘exotic’ places like running into Asia, but driving a 90s regd 4 wheeler MAN around Yorkshire?
Nah.
Still I suppose it takes all sorts.and if he is happy in his own little world, who are we to comment or criticise.

Oh dear oh dear…
You don’t live your life like me, so you are sad and stupid.
(No Rob, don’t bother with the “putting words in my mouth” routine, that is exactly what you said above.
If somebody wants to work past retirement, because they don’t want to sit in a chair, watching homes under the hammer, waiting for death, doesn’t make them sad, it tends to make them happy. )
You forget that his generation grew up in post wat austerity, you worked to pay the bills, and saved for things. Hobbies were not for the working class, other than maybe fishing or watching footbal.

Ah right,.so you were in that much of a hurry to get to the keyboard to write.‘Oh dear, oh dear’’ that you failed to notice my summing up in the last paragraph,.which kinda puts the opposite view, or at least allows for it or explains his pov, against what my view is/was. 
Oh dear oh dear,… you could have saved yourself the time replying.
