    Or a new clutch
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      January's treat was a year old car, so I dont have that problem. I dont really need a pc either, I have a core i7-870 already. I do fancy a 3 screen setup though.

        Erm. Probably best not to mention this. This is actually what Suity is employed to do.
        I suppose the process could be automated, and I could just stay at home.

          You could probably hire a contractor to write some software to do it for you. I hear MF isn't doing much at the moment.

            I think I should hire someone to do my job.

              Really?

              I think it sounds like a man content with his lot.

              YMMV.

                Put all your warchest on black or red at the casino. If your colour comes up, WINNER! You double you money.

                Else, you'll find motivation for seeing the contract out.

                  I see myself as 'buying time' when I'm working. So, for example, a week worked and money earned is like being able to afford a month off work at some point in the contract (at current expense rate). Of course, realistically I have virtually no chance of time off given the growing family... but it's nice to dream and that motivates me to drag myself into the cess pit each day.

                      I read it as crutch. Suity goes through those like no-ones business.
