Well Lucifer has got a box.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

I was actually a sort of hippy on a remote beach for a while.Originally posted by realityhackI'm just wondering if anyone else goes through this same cycle of: contract - project - gets a bit routine - gloomy weather - consider jacking the whole thing in and becoming a hippie on a remote beach.
Or is it just Monday?
Had a caravan down on the West Wales coast near Tenby - brilliant.
Used to pack up rucksack and my laptop and head on down for a few weeks of tranquility away from wife &c. Could still do my development work and had good net access, so was still earning. Mostly though I was in the pub and helping a bloke fix up his beach cabin.
The site fees got too steep though, considering I only used the place about 10 weeks of the year, so had to sell. Regret it now
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Before moving to Landahn I used to have a little house by the beach in Aberystwyth, mid Wales. Brisk in winter, gorgeous in summer. If they had any decent jobs there I'd never have moved.
Ach.

Yes, sometimes I just wanted to stay there. I loved it - even in the winter when it was windy and drizzling and everyone else had buggered off! Great beaches and wildlife.Originally posted by SallyAnneHow cool!!! I bet you never wanted to come back.

Mrs Bogey is a free spirit and quite enjoyed my absence on the whole, but she sometimes drove down at weekends with a boot load of grub and booze. I really miss it.
