If you can enjoy this kind of lifestyle it's amazing but, some staff arrive and think 'there's only 1 pub, no nightclub...and leave within a day or so. You have to have the mindset to live here all year round, it's good to have hobbies or be happy in keeping oneself entertained, but if you're easily bored, this ain't the place for you.

Yeah, same here. I revel in human interaction so the thought of there not being people around me is strange to me. I remember when I moved back home I couldn't sleep the first night because of how quiet it was in the burbs.

It's essentially a private estate, leased from Prince Charles by the Dorrien-Smith family. The boss lives in a fantastic huge old Abbey just above the pond/lake southmost in the pic and we peasants live in the 'town' north of the upper pond/lake. No cars allowed. No visiting dogs. No crime. Our doors are never locked. One pub. Two restaurants. A shop. Loads of boats. l know every fuckers business and everyone knows mine. l also have the only band on the island for the last ten years - Dogs of Samson, and we play as you can guess, none offensive covers. It's perfect if you want to escape the rat race of a big city or even large town.
l have a 3 bedroom cottage that comes with my job so l don't pay rent, just bills and cunting council tax. l come from and grew up in Australia, but summer is way too hot for me there, a good English summer is perfect.
And yes we have 'superfast broadband' and Amazon, and Tesco delivers via freight boat. sweet.

I could live on an island, it would be the sameshit, it would not make a difference. I'd do the samething.

my dad owned a house on one of the most remote shetland islands for a decade or so, i quite liked going up there but i couldn't live there. people romanticise the isolation but actually i find that you get less isolation in small island communities because everyone wants to know everyone else's business etc. plus the weather up there is absolute garbage and i get seasick from the 14 hour ferry journey.
My heart gives me really bad pain, i've had heart failure for about 10 years.

about the same
Was working this double shift job, could barely make it through shifts, then all of the sudden bam. Almost died, oh well i guess shit happens, it's not like I got anything in return, you can't even have one day off, it's dumb to me, if I died would not even care anyways. My toilet smells like shit after I flush it, who cares. I'll wake up in hell and have to shit and shower again and do the sameshit and watch commercials, maybe it's a blessing. Can't wait till it's over, I'm trying to make it end. When i'm dead someone can take out the garbage, sick of it, wash some fucking dishes and shit. Life is fucking retarded to me. I think it's fucking stupid, I don't care, it's not like anyone does anyways, this place is a shithole. Tomorrow I'm going to smash all my shit for the fuck off it, and guess what, no one will care. I'll just have a bunch of smashed shit.
