    Having said that, they make life worth living.
    It's not just about the cost. What kind of example you will be setting for them? You shouldn't be surprised if they will just try to squander all your money after and then go on the dole when it's run out.
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      You are going to breed wage slaves.

            Music....

            We recently did a gig in a tiny (very crowded) cafe, and earnt 270 Euros, for two of us, that's about £40 an hour, now if we can earn that in a tiny cafe, what could we do in a big hall. We calculated thousands of Euo's.

            I mean we're not talking fame here, just small venues.

              I believe the beggars in London earn more than that, and they don't have to play any music.

                Why would I want to?
                It might be my house, but it is their home.

                I always get the carpets cleaned after tenants move out anyway.

                      Sorry the carpet/shoes obsession keeps me laughing.
