That makes me sound like a vain hypochondriac!




I'm no where near Texas myself, I was just trying to think of a state that was big enough to accomodate it!

It'll still be an island and the climate will be better too.
Could even run a ferry service.

You can be here in 2 days from Texas.


Okay, that'll work!

I know I was only talking about it with Hub's the other day, I might well have to go back into what I know at least we would have a home of sorts rather than renting the first few years, but I would much prefer to do it again when Pierce is about 10, it can be hard on the kids.

We lived next door to a pub when I was younger and I had my first summer jobs there. The children of the owners were allways the center of attention and the family had their own house attched to the pub.
Would you want to run a pub outside of town?

Yes with the Boy now to think of. My Girl's enjoyed the fuss when we went back into it when they were older, and are both still working in the trade, I just meant it's better when they are a little more independent, because Mum dose not have so much spare time.

I've got a few of my own cocktails which went down well with the punters, but I much prefer to run the old fashioned type Pub, you can keep the posy wine bars.

I must be a ponse! As I have never liked ale/beer etc, but love my cocktails. And I love real old-fashioned pub's.
I guess when you open one back home I'll just have to visit and ask very nicely if you'd make me one
