| Hi, AltNation. Enjoy this, as I am. 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.  |

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

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 |

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

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

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

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