I think we have all done stuff like that Boonie. We do occasionally end up posting after a few and our brains are probably not at their best.

I remember I once subbed the word 'lager' for 'ale'. Made the post very confusing :oops: :roll:
Prost and happy brewing!

Been there....Unfortunately that post was rushed, not beer induced.

I am not, and never have been, a grammar Nazi.
However, I like my spelling to be correct, and am a fully certified and signed up member of the Beer Spelling Gestapo.

Well actually, I believe it must be spelt with a capital 'N' to be correct in either context, but now I am just being picky! :P :lol:

Both nazi's and nazis can be correct [lower case version intentional] but the first of course would be used to denote something that belonged to a nazi, while the second is more than one nazi

Are you REALLY a bank manager? :shock:
It`s just that there`s so many things about your persona that to me don`t meld with the image of a man saddled with so much responsibilty :D
No offence, just something I`ve wondered about in the idle hours :|

Yes I am. I have been a BM for 2 banks........

I am not the old decrepid cranky ass BM who sits in an office reading the paper. We are the new younger breed who actually have a pulse.
I was a BM by age 30, after 14 years in banking.

How about this? I know of a Financial Planner, who is extremely well respected, who also is a Home Brewer. Next is a senior writer for a major paper who also is a Home Brewer. I worked with the Planner for a couple of years and neither of us ever mentioned it whilst at work.

Not until I left the bank that it became apparent that we shared the same interest....go figure. I just would never have picked him for a Home Brewer. Basically what I am trying to say is that you would be surprised who brews....we come from all walks of life.

My persona....mmmm...in what way ryan? Would you like me to be a blunt and to the point like my old bosses?

Cheers

Boonie
