Measure your success by your BAC.

If you're deriving material benefit from your photographic skills, you're a professional. The barter system was around way before money became a token representation of the value of one's work.

Well if the tax man cometh you can always pay him his dues in recycled beer with the acknowledgement that you are actually giving him more than you got as it has been filtered twice - get him to bring his own bucket though

Interesting... beer can be a bit bulky to carry around when trading it for other things.

But why on earth would you want to do that? (trade beer)

You are forgiven... but we do take our Whisky quite seriously around these parts.

Isn't it like one of the religions there? And speaking of which, I like the stuff, what is YOUR favorite, being a native and all (single malts only please)!

Some of us like to think so.

For me it's a Laphroaig PX Cask, closely followed by Laphroaig Quarter Cask, but most of the Islay Malts would be perfectly acceptable to me, especially if your buying.

But this begs whether one should just consume it quickly in place prior to the end of the term, or is it better to trade it off? The devil will be in the fine print of the agreement, and either way, I think this must ultimately tie into some form of trickle down theory.

And I think we can assure the OP he is getting paid, and probably should invest in inventory and accounting systems to ensure adequate tracking and reporting of material gain, or if nothing else, some nice pint glasses....

At my age.... chances are I wouldn't be taking the beer offsite.... so my Tax defence is that I left with no payment to declare.
