Take a look at http://www.lspace.org/ and then at my work site, http://www.discworldshop.com/

 

Then buy one of the books from Amazon

I've often thought that we must have quite a cross-section of people here, so I wonder what we all do in 'real life'. I know some are unemployed and a couple are guides or in the angling trade, but that's about it.

 

Me, I sell figurines/giftware. You can see some of them at:

http://www.thecollectorsguild.com/

 

I'm mainly known for my work with Terry Pratchett's Discworld at:

http://www.discworldshop.com/

 

I'm very lucky to have understanding bosses who give me a lot of slack to keep this site together. Without them, it just wouldn't happen.

 

All the best,

Ex serviceman, ex charter boat skipper, x trawler boat owner then went scaffolding, now that was a good job until I had a slight accident. Now partially disabled and can't work on anything over my head hight.

I started my own computer cleaning company that has an office cleaning part as well. I only have one contract for the cleaning but have just started.

I work on a charter boat at the week-end, build gardens, (only two a year), have a couple of garden maintenance jobs.

I collect Delft ware when I can afford it.

Love helping people out quietly.

Would love to move back to the UK but everything is too expensive compared to over here. I also do some free-lance work for a translating company in Amsterdam. Great this internet stuff, used to be my typwriter and the fax.

Thats about it except to say if any of you ever want to visit Holland, let me know and I will try and help.
