x10 if the food is served on anything other than a plate which is pretty common in London (chopping board, frying pan, prisoner food tray, slate board etc etc)

Not for money but as an enjoyable day to day time filler, I'd love to have a small off-road motorcycle tour company. Some where lax on regulations such as road traffic laws and the like.
South or central America, Asia or Africa springs to mind.

It combines a lot of favourites for me, riding off road motorcycles at a low pressure tourist pace, a bit of spannering every week or so and the reasonably laid back laissez faire attitude of the people. (especially in south america).

I can see a swaying hammock and a long term home brew rum recipe perfecting process in my crystal ball.

I think Millhouse use to put a box of OMO or Ariel on the window ledge back in the day.

In college days a scarf or something similar on the door handle was a good sinning in process signal also

Foam.
I love eggs and bacon and avocado on a weekend morning with a nice coffee, news on in the background and balcony doors wide open. It makes me feel like at times I can do this adulting stuff.

I had that dream too, but I'm a generation late for the piss-easy dream retirement.

Sounds amazing.
Along those lines I'd also love a beach bar, where I cook steak sandwiches and burgers served with cold beers and rocket-fuel cocktails to friendly people on some Caribbean island.

Next year for me mashallah! Then I can devote myself full-time to my true vocation of conducting long convoluted and pointless arguments with brain dead right wing nut jobs!

There's a guy out here more-or-less doing that, in Essaouira. Made loads of dosh in London property by his early 30's, got mugged (literally), came here to regroup, never left. Teaches yoga to mainly French expats as well as some well-to-do locals, and general fitness. Has a Springer Spaniel which catches seagulls.

This is my alter ego: gave up his job as Senior VP of the Pacific Stock Exchange in SF, went full-time. I did it full-time for 3 months, but circumstances meant I ended up taking a different path... would seriously like to return to it.
