Why are you allowed to show off but I can't ?
Are you back with the Eels, pete ?
Was pleased the Eels played well in the 9s. I think they will have a good year. I always 'keep an eye' on the Eels..surprise packets for 2014, and I will 'spec' them at good odds.
Owning a pub and owning part of a newspaper is not 'showing off'. It was
BLOODY hard work, and no-one was more relieved than me when it (the pub) was finally sold (in 2005),,and my partners brought my share of the newspaper when I first got crook in 2007...
Retired now....wish I had done it ten years earlier....BUT if I had my time over, I would do it all again. I loved the PUB and MOTEL, I enjoy meeting new people, and the Pub certainly allowed me to do that. It was just a little freehold Country Pub - catering for working class people - with a half a dozen poker machines. When I went into it I was 39 --at my peak --by the time I got out I was 60...and feeling my age. Pubs are not good work environment when little things start giving you the shits.
I have written for the local paper for 45 years, so when the opportunity arose to own a third share in 1999, I jumped at it...Love being able to offer an opinion on any sporting situation. Still do!!!.
