Dear Patrice,
Who said bricolabs?
As I understand it, Ian asked:
want to travel with her to Europe and i want to try to get some
organisation to bancar o negocio...sera que eh posivel??
Can you?
Bancar?
So I thought of Picnic. What is wrong with having good people there?
Money?
All money is dirty, someone I hold very high once said in a private
mail, and I stick to that.
And credibility for whom, to whom? I don't have to be credible to anyone
but myself as I figure,
Greetings, Rob
