pros and cons of beer:
+ tastes good
+ makes you feel good
+ does you good
- has unwanted side effects
- isn't a mobile resource (nowknow that would be impressive - sort that
and i'll wheel you round chinatown ok)
o sorry my example content doesn't really demonstrate this, excuses:
- am a lazy git
- i just got back from the pub heavy with beer and tai curry
- the sun just hit my screen so i'm typing blind
mark
ps anyone want to pay me to do some due dilligence work? beer and curry
isn't free ;-)
