Although Tilley will probably jump up and down and drink more beer 'cause I'm writting a semi-technical article, this just has to get out.  Today while happily working away at my desk (as much as one can at work) I typed the stupid "rm <my favourite irreplaceable file>" into my Linux shell.  rm is the same as del in DOS (remember that?)... there are no prompts, there's no warning, you just carry on for a couple for seconds and notice the directory is one file smaller.

The automobile is the very backbone of western society.  Day in and day out we use these incredible machines.  There are millions of cars driving millions of kilometres using untold millions of litres of gasoline.  A marvellous invention that we have become dependant on.  This very dependency causes us some serious issues.  One of which being Tilley's 1990 Ford Escort LX exploding into a 4 wheeled smoke machine on the highway.

It startles me how many major motion pictures succeed in robbing everyone blind financially and intellectually.  Where is the mental challenge?  Why must we, a seemingly clever society, be forced to liquefy our brains in front of a 50ft. screen?  There is a difference between escapism and utter ignorance.  I am not talking about mindless comedies that are designed to strip you of your wits.  I speak not of Blue Crush or Scorpion King and other films that aren't sure whether they are movies or liverwurst.  I speak of movies that are made by very talented filmmakers who treat the audience like idiots and get away with it.  I will now proceed to rant about two of this years' summer blockbusters, two films that I enjoyed, two films that I paid money (multiple times) to see.  Hell, I even love these films: Spiderman and Signs.  These films have two things in common: they both start with 'S' and they all possess one or more aspect that insults the intelligence of humanity.
Note: Contains spoilers for those of you who have not (*cough* 'loser!') seen these films yet.

Hello fellow readers!  Why are you looking so glum?  Oh your angry that Tilley has not written anything for Bizwarcho in a long time.  Well I'm back, and ready to fill the void that has been left.

All of us need money.  (If you don't could you send the excess amounts of cash you are not using to me?)  And because of this we search for employment Most likely sooner or later you will find yourself working in retail.  This is where I step in... when you need some cold beer.  So yes I work in a beer store.  To expand more, this store sells BEER!, and clothing with beer labels.  That's it, beer and beer ecessories for one brewer (i.e.. BIG Brewery, and beside it my small store.)  Now I know everyone has weird, fun, scary or just over the wall bizarre retail stories, but when you mix that with large amounts of Ale/Lager you get The Beer Store Musings.

It's a right of passage: you turn of age and you drink something to such excess that you never want to drink it again (almost everyone I've met has one majour alcohol they don't like... for me it's Rum).  But what about all the choice you see when you go to buy Alcohol?  How do you know which is good and which isn't?  How do you prevent the purchase of a large quantity of alcohol you don't like?  Well I don't know!  But in an attempt to "share my knowlege" *scoff* I've tried to list liquers, wines and other drink drinks that I've tasted and like.  I'll try to give you a description!
