It was ages ago mind you, when there was only half as many peopel here.

If you asked what people would prefer to do, you'd probably have a forum full of aspiring condom testers.

dave.obrien

I'm on a year off of studying architecture, and am spending it doing some architecture freelance and working in a bike shop.

In an ideal world, I would design my own bike shop with a small architecture studio working above it, where I would spend most of my time, but help in the running of the shop below whenever suited me. There is a possibility that I would appreciate a small cafe within the complex, though only if the owners used MOAK coffee and really knew how to make a good espresso...
