Your circle of friends & occupations

Lots of hugely mixed groups of friends being mentioned here, something which i bet makes things quite interesting. I guess with mine its that none of us really knew what we wanted to do, so we all copied eachother and as a result of working for ourselves havnt really met anyone else.

We all missed the uni boat due to being too damn lazy and being involved in other things at that age. Not sure if i regret that or not.

That's the problem, aye. He does alright though, seems to be in one of those areas where whilst it's quite secluded, the people have nothing else to spend their stupidly excessive salaries on and/or farmers with flourishing farms.

I'm taking it off topic, I'll post my circle on friends when I can be bothered :D

Haha, well, my parents fell in love with the idea after spending some time with him. Seems like if you can find a sweetspot you can be very successful.

Uni... Apart from yourself? IIRC you went for a wee while? I recall seeing pictures of you outside halls with people taking partin initiations?
