The $5 beer thing was more of a sarcasitic dig at your IPS "wealthy clients" comment than your financial status. Wine and spirits is fine with me.Gilmore wrote:Interesting that this thread has degenerated-or is it uplifted?-into lighthearted banter.
Thanks for the invitation, IPS. Despite the insinuations, $5 beers and Topaz are well within my means. Unfortunately, I don't drink beer, only wine and spirits. I'm not a big fan of French cuisine and am currently incapacitated with a broken hip.
Most of my friends in Australia worked in some form of sales, including real estate. I have limited experience in the industry, having sold, written and designed over 50 advertising brochures, while working as a travel writer and editor in the Philippines. I'm sure we'd get on quite well, as long as the business side was left out of the meeting.
I would prefer to think that the thread has been uplifted through some lovable banter.
