What do you want out of life?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Ah yeah! Of course! The gospel according to South Park! Now that would make an interesting religion! ;)

Me and my mate have been talking about opening our own pub though - and it really tickles my tummy.
Even if it means working 18 hours a day, it'll still be worth it since I always have a great time with my friends, and it would be great to be my own boss.
I lived/worked in a pub for a while, and it's not all that-at first it's great, but soon the whole living/working/socialising in one place is very constrictive, and in my own experience, quite frustrating and depressing. I'm not saying it'll be the same for you, just thought I'd share my experience in case it was something you hadn't considered.

Best of luck regardless, dude. :)

What do I want from life?

To be happy, nothing else matters, but that I can be truly happy with myself as a person.

Thanks for the input :) :up:

When I think about working in my own pub together with my mate it's all Carebears, rainbows and free games for Nintendo DS. So I think I really need this kind of input ;)

Obfleur, I read this article last week

http://www.slate.com/id/2132576/

About a guy who tought it'd be fun to own his own coffee shop (selling coffee and tea), and did so, and his experiences.
