Qu'est ce que j'aurai aimé faire ça dans ma jeunesse.

Qu'est ce que j'aurai aimé faire ça dans ma jeunesse.

Dans ta jeunesse, enfin !!!!!! tu n'es pas vieille. Il n'est jamais trop tard pour se faire plaisir. A 40 balais, je suis reparti 70 heures en formation, bon c'est sûr, c'est peut être pas grand chose à côté des études qu'il faut faire pour occuper ce type de poste, mais bon ça fait du bien, je me suis fait plaisir (et en plus, ça m'a rien coûté)

[Tholemar]

Je n'aurai pas le courage de reprendre des études maintenant (ce sera déjà super compliqué si je fais l'école de puer) , et je n'aurai absolument pas la force de laisser mes petits pour faire ça même si je trouve ça super, c'est en gros ce que je voulais dire.

Tu me diras combien je te dois pour avoir dit que j’étaie pas si vieille.
