Chilli, I want to set up a business selling ice-creams from a van, apparently very lucrative and nobody in Qatar doing it yet (but I dont have the stones to quit my job and go for it).
There is an ice-cream van parked up but in daily use (where it goes no idea) at MotorCity Apartments.

Chilli, please change your profile pic, I clicked on your profile to see what you do and got an eyefull, and I'm at work! (git).

I have a guy who works for PWC moving in in 2 weeks, want me to ask for you?...what do you do in the financial sector btw!? haha

Hello mate, yeah keep meaning to change that picture!

Thanks forth PWC offer, but due to a lack of any proper qualifications, I'll struggle to get through the door!

Re the ice cream van, can you not buy all the gear now and hire someone to drive it for you? I'm not sure if Qatar is also over-run with cheap labour. Actually, ask Mattt....... He could do a shift or two!

What about 6th Gear..? sure Adam does recruitment of some description. Might be worth asking him, even if he can't help, might know someone who can..?

So here I am, still sitting here...now teaching my replacement how to do the job. It's the most frustrating thing in the world, and it's driving me insane. Perhaps that's the plan...bore/frustrate me to death and hope I resign...

Thanks buddy, I'll do that.

Not sure about the fishing though (thanks for the offer Dan).....I'm not too good on small boats!
