Qbgrey 4,086 Posted Sunday at 16:39 Report Share Posted Sunday at 16:39 Good move mate, get out the rat race, I sometimes sit in traffic that years ago would of been a free flowing road and just think to myself I’m just a rat in traffic jam with loads of other rats , all rushing to earn a dollar. Seems quite pathetic don’t it. We get conditioned to run out the house to pay the govt, tax, utilities etc 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
