11. Learning How To Change A Barrel

Learning how to change a barrel starts off as exciting: "Look at me, I'm being supervised to do this amazing heavy complicated thing!" However, the task quickly becomes a nightmare, especially if you're not confident with doing it without help. So you pull the trigger up...unscrew this bit on the barrel...put the new one in...oh, hang on, it's not screwing on properly...OH MY GOD WHY IS THERE A FOUNTAIN OF BEER COMING OUT OF THIS BARREL AND HOW WILL YOU EVER GET AWAY WITH IT?! Anyone who hasn't experienced a barrel of lager exploding all of them in a dark and dingy cellar during a Saturday night shift: we salute you. You have no idea how lucky you are.
