I don't know what that is but you know about it and it's Japanese so I don't want to.

I want to learn Japanese, mainly to improve my impersonation of Hâdo Gei.
All right, so I MADE a mistake! ONE MISTAKE!
Can't a man start over?! Do I have to keep on PAYING?! HUH?!
Maybe I should make another mistake! ...maybe TWO more!

There's a programme on BBC Alba simply called "Craic".

Yup, it's a talk show.

End of the year maybe. I've set a "threshold" point which is the max number of students I want to teach (under my current model anyway). Past that, I either go for slow growth, or keep expanding and hiring other teachers, depends if I choose to shift my income stream to somewhere else once I have this one under control.

Leaning towards somewhere else rather than go through the bullshit of hiring someone. Employees have too many "rights", fuck that.

Yeah, having employees increases risks like fuck. Best to productise something and see if you can sell in volume.
