Probably potter around a little and then die. That appears to be what most people do.

Most of the retired guys I know say there aren't enough hours left in the day to do all the things they want to Paul.

More hunting, shooting, fishing, boating and I'd like to spend more time doing volunteer research for various scientific and wildlife journals and the local wildlife trust.

oh and burn more money and time on frivolous cars!

We're planning to retire to Texas, buy one of the new Corvettes, two Harleys & some guns and have fun!

Well ajm, you have described my interests pretty well exactly, without the research and hunting bit. I do a bit of work also towards maintaining the river banks and the redds for the sea trout and salmon which is pretty important. I like my car too

As I said to Paulr, difficult to fit it all in.

Move from this chav infested $hit hole (if I don't go sooner), play golf and drink beer.

That pretty much sums it

I think I might spend my time posting political rubbish on Scoobynet, pretending that I earn a fortune and never break the speed limit. Assuming, of course, that there's a vacancy for such a position

Lie on a tropical beach, with a pair of good binoculars and a hearing aid with a volume control on it.

Unless I'm loaded, in which case I'll be on a sunseeker in the tropics with half a dozen bikini models.....

Sleep all day and then vandalise cynically placed speed cameras by night with my walking stick! Might also wash the car more often
