Hi, AltNation. Enjoy this, as I am.

[Stew]

Hi guys.

Yes, it's Stew. Stew that you all mock and pretend doesn't exist and/or lies.

Well, I don't need to work for a while, dear forum. Why? The why is because the pub myself and a friend bought four months ago, did up and turned around, which some of you know about if I chat to you. That one. We just sold it to Weatherspoons for three times what we paid for it.

Oh, yes.

If you wish to think this is a lie - fair enough, chaps. Post away. But in the back of your mind you'll know fine well you're slaving away/sitting on your PC all day with nothing better to do and skint/still studying for your degree/etc, and I'm sitting back doing nothing. Well, I say nothing. I'm going to plan myself a wee trip around Europe. With a backpack 'cos I'm still a tight bastard.

Thanks for reading, and if you are a decent person you know fine well that this is far too outrageously good to make up.

I could not be more happy right now. Or, drunk since we closed at 12pm and drank like fuck with the regulars and staff.

27 property?

EDIT:- That seemed funnier in my head. Well in regardless.

Go to Zermatt in Switzerland and do all the mountain/cable-car shit. It's awesome.

Heard about this a while ago on the grapevine. Congrats! What pub is it? Or was it, rather.

Cheers. Weird thing.. we'd not actually got round to naming the damn thing - best part is there's a Weatherspoons in Portland Street just now and they're considering closing it apparently 'cos they want to move the whole franchise thing to ours. As for the money thing - I'm actually just going to have to find another job as I can't imagine not doing anything. That's after I pay my parents mortgage off though.

Fucking forum grapevine knows about me and I was hardly every on the last few months? Mental.com

[Syxx]

Honestly though. Does anyone care?

Nah, not really, just someone mentioned it to me when you were chatting away to them on MSN while I was in their hoose, if that makes sense.

Aye, I imagine it's either get a job or end up doing smack to alleviate the boredom.

Acht, it's not really life changing money. I'm just drunk from 12 hours of drinking away with the rest of the guys and making a profit when I expected to honestly make a loss for at least the first year.

Definitely moving to Glasgow to get another job though - this time using the damn degree. Or, could buy Stavka, I guess.

Well in Stew, congratulations. Always good to hear of major financial success in these times of the credit crunch!

[Exit_W0unds]

I'm pleased for you, I'd be even more pleased for you hadn't gone out your way to sound like such a smarmy wanker about it.

[Jenpot]

I'd be a smarmy wanker aswell if a whole bunch of people online kept telling me I wasn't real.

That's what happens when a large majority of people go out of their way to put forward the idea that I talk pish, and I'm not real.

Apologies, since if you're not one of them it wasn't directed at you.

Aye, I think when you make a success such as this - and given that pubs are closing right left and centre this is even more of an accomplishment - you've got every right to be smarmy.

I'm not meaning to be a brownnose or anything by the way

Love this bit.

Sounds just like one of those emails you get from the King of Siam's Brother in Law.
