I enjoy my job, despite the long hours but the pettyness of managers has got to the point where next year I'm getting my truck licence and gonna drive trucks. May go back into delivering beer when I get my class 1 licence.

How do their pretty things get to you? you are out in your van.....
Any little mistakes are picked up on and made out to be END OV TEH WURLDZ, I.E i dropped a plastic cask into a cellar not long ago and it cracked somehow so was unusable and I had to tip the £90 worth of beer away (9 gallon cask, 72 pints) told head brewer what happened only to get the reply 'What I think happened is...' and proceeded to tell me what he thinks happened, even though he was the other side of the Tyne tunnel in an office, he then told me not to argue with him (telling him he was wrong and what actually happened) as he's been doing this 14 years (was 11 last time I asked, last year) so obviously knows better.
In actual fact he's been a BREWER for over 10 years not a drayman, and after speaking to a drayman from another local brewery he told me plastic casks break all the time and coincidentally the lad in the pub we were at handed him a broken one back lol
Edit: He also told me from now on I have to rope casks into all cellars if they're vertical drops or slide type gantrys. Err yeah how am I going to get my rope back if the pub is closed and its a vertical drop, some drops are over 10 ft.
THought you dropped them on to big thick pads/mats to take the impact.
There are always know it alls.
Rain Rain hate it
My friends constantly blabbering about a giant gay/homosexual group event thing where in the end they all have to grease themselves up with lube and Vaseline and wear condoms and have a giant orgy they wanted to attend.
Whoops, autocorrect. Meant to say Hondafest.
Hondafest? That sounds like a gay/homosexual group event thing where in the end they all have to grease themselves up with lube and Vaseline and wear condoms and have a giant orgy.
There are mats in the cellars, this pub has a new one but its springy so the cask rolled off, a lot of pubs don't bother buying new ones and all that's left of the mats is bits of 10 year old foamQuote:

Pretty much all it is. I mean, every Honda's exhaust note sounds like my nan farting through a tuba while she's getting bitch slapped by a beached WhaleQuote:
