    Here's your plot.

    Yep. That's mine, alright. Right under that barrel.

    I just downloaded and printed my lease, and it says that I may not "cut peat, farm sheep or extract minerals from the plot". And that's just exactly what I had wanted to do: move to Scotland, dig a peat pit, fill it with miniature sheep and sink an oil well.
    Oh, well, I guess I still have to go to work tomorrow.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    I think I see my 12" plot over there on the left side a bit...
