first, i can see you are not 17, especially by your comments.
I used to live to work, but i choose a few years ago, to work to live. it is a choice, and it is not for everyone. also it is connected to “having and how much of the having”.

yes, even if can catch fish, that's not an excuse... i am sure a Anglo-Spanish War will be declared, as the spanish armada, and duke of medina sedonia are ready for revenge...
