I was reading an article that says lots more young Italians are turning to the traditional job of being a shepherd as they can't find work. I must admit that I can't blame them.
I'd be willing to bet that a lot of these guys will be happier doing this then they would ever be doing anything else. What do you guys think ? Do you think you could enjoy the life of a shepherd ? The solitude, living with nature, no modern day pressure and society issues. It does sound quite good. http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/young-ita...-202814465.html This post has been edited by Ben Higgins: May 4 2012, 01:43 PM |

There was an article in El Pais a few years ago that rich Spanish business bods were taking shepherding lessons as a means to de-stress.
Don't know if they still do that now that El Crisis has hit Spain hard. They're probably more stressed but may no longer have time and money on their hands... (Neil - yummy. I love Shepherd's pie. And Cottage pie and Fisherman's Pie  .)

QUOTE (Nihilist1 @ May 5 2012, 07:35 AM) Yeah. He was released on parole in March of 2009. He and his current wife own a small farm in Telemark, Norway. Really ?? I can't help but wonder how he managed that, it can't be cheap owning property in such a beautiful setting. It's not like he's amassed a fortune, surely ??

Is anybody else thinking it's like the houses in The Shire, in Lord of the Rings ? Notice how they said it was built with help from '..and passers by..' - Excellent !

Plus, I am pretty certain that his wife is a Professor of Viking Religion at a University in Norway. She helped him write this book: http://www.plastichead.com/catalogue.asp?e...;target=ABSB042 -------------------- All the elders have fallen down...

I know he's got a big, cult following but I'm still surprised that it would bring in much money. Does Burzum have a lot of Merch as well, 'cause that's where a lot of the income is ? Of all people, sounds like he might have the right idea about making a living from music.. although morally I can't agree with the guy as he never seemed to acknowledge he did anything wrong or showed any remorse. |
