10 reasons to become self-employed

George Stinney Jr: The Tragic Case of a Child Executed in the USA

The Truth Behind the Legend of the Tower of London Ravens
I should have mentioned it at the time. >.> And yes! I do recall you trying to get pictures! The Beefeaters were trying to chuck us out at the time. LOL

10 reasons to become self-employed
I hope they are properly jealous now :) I know what you're saying, though. On the other hand, aren't we lucky that some people crave 'proper' structure to their professional lives? Somebody needs to do all the boring jobs :) *half-joking ...

A Tour of Herastrau Park and the Village Museum in Bucharest

10 reasons to become self-employed
