Beer on Tap

Looks like Norway is the place to be. I guess a few Brits might be heading across the North Sea. Here.

True life is stranger than fiction.
I liked the ad video. It truly points out something we can all try to remember.

I remember a similar story a few years back, with not such a happy outcome.

Some guy plumbed ina new Coffee Machine, in an office building and connected it to the Air Conditioning pipework instead of the cold water supply. They were dropping like flies, with Glycol poisoning.

Sorta related but very funny true story.
When I first moved to Pensacola ('82) I had a condo in a complex on the beach. I started helping the maintenance mgr, good friend, with a few small things. We fed the sprinkler systems with duck pond water. Nasty.
The pump had to be primed every night with a faucet (Island water supply)
that we didn't turn back off until the morning.
Ok, had a fresh water outage (rare) at night causing the pump to get that crappy pond water flowing in everyone's unit through that faucet.
What the heck!!!!
Next morn hard hats around the pond pump area. Wound up needing a check valve on the faucet primer. (DUH) Simple but what a mess. Our condo's had the smell of duck poo-poo for a couple days.
