If this is a serious question... I used to be an investment banker for a few years, then I recieved a large inheritance, with this I set up my own hedge fund. My wife died a few years back and going to work on a daily basis became less common. By this time the hedge fund was up and running, and I really did not need to go in that often.
A few months ago I took up a part time 3 day a week (for about 4 hours each day) at the investment bank I used to work for, just to occupy some time really.

Putting a mug in the freezer is one of the worst things you can do for beer. Beer's supposed to be consumed cool - not ice cold. Hell, outside of America it's often served room temperature. You can't taste ice cold beer.

Frosted mugs are tragic "macrobrewery" marketing swill to disguise the flavour of poor quality brews.

Well said. Beer only needs to be really, really cold if it's bad to begin with.
