    I'd have one of those also. I like 'em.
    You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.

        Then buy an old stone house somewhere nice - on the coast; Possibly Devon or Pembrokeshire - convert the outbuildings into a studio, equip it, then spend the rest of my days as an artist, mostly in chalk & oils, possibly dabbling in sculpture, living modestly off the interest. I'd take frequent, backpacker-style trail holidays with Mrs RH, and she'd probably want to continue working in the health profession. I might also teach local kids photography on an ad-hoc basis. I'd buy a Hasselblad 500CM kit.

        I'd probably also buy a nice short-wheelbase Land Rover; And a baby grand piano, to get back into my music; We'd have 2 cats: a Tonkinese and a Norwegian Forest; and an Old English Sheepdog. I'd also buy a nice over & under Beretta and get back into skeet shooting.

        Quality.
        You are so posh.

          Really? I thought it was quite a modest lifestyle!

              Yeah but you are... painting and sculpting and shooting and all that malarkey.

                I think the question behind the question is: What do you really want to be doing with your life instead of staring at a monitor/keyboard and putting up with IT-related shit:e, and answered it accordingly. Some here love IT and would stay in their job and buy trinkets - others would have a complete lifestyle change.

                I might have been posh had I mentioned Barbour jackets, horses & stables, wellies and climbing excursions - ooh, I forgot the climbing excursions - I'd also travel to the North Pole by helicopter and drink champagne. Without the Red Bull.

                  Ha.


                  Yep, WCMS.

                  Reet posh that. I bet you'd wear a wax jacket, too.
                  Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
