Wll, it's in the middle of the day here (well, nearly 3pm anyway) and I'm going forth and sinking some amber stuff in celebration. Unfortunately, all we can get our hands on is this synthetic roo tinkle called Fosters, but after 20 or so large schooners and a couple of pies...who cares?

Well Keith, you are a better man than I am. As a recovering alcholic of 16 years now, I can honestly say that I never made it past the 13th one (Fosters). I tried many many times each week. I was the only one that drank it at the small bar that I freqented, and it was stocked only for my pleasure. The waitress's nick named it "Roo Pee". When I asked them why, they said they had sampeled it and thought it tasted like Kangaroo piss. I was wondering how they knew what that tasted like. And like it or not, Fosters made me what I am today. And I enjoyed every minute of it.
Regards Brian

As one of our larakin naturists (Harry Butler) would say,
"Looks like Roo Poo,tastes like Roo Poo,lucky we didn't stand in it." [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

Fair Dinkum I reckon youse blokes are insultin our Roos.
the Fosters they sell in U.K. is gotta taste worse than Roo
Piss.
Speakin of Roos, we must be the only Nation on earth that eats the animals that appear on its coat of arms. I haven't
tasted Emu but a Roo steak is extra grouse on the Barbie. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ah Brian, if you drank Fosters in the US you probably drunk the 'Strylian variety which is, well, real Fosters. Over here in the UK, we take a good foreign beer, brew it ourselves "under licence" and screw it right up, by adding badger droppings and shredded bus tickets. And you Oz blokes are dead right! It WAS an insult to good quality Roo piss, and I unreservedly apologise to all those over there in 'Strylia who drink it regularly (Roo piss, not Fosters). Having made those enlightening comments about British beer, I suppose I should now exit left to the slit trenches and await the oh so predictable onslaught from my home buddies who actually like the damned stuff, and I leave you with this conundrum:

"Why is the bit of wine I like best always at the bottom of the bottle"? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

[DenisBedford]

Did you notice that me Maaaaate flatchat didnt chat about the roo piss thats because his lady friend taught him how to drink proper (white wine from flutes only) pity he usta was a fair dinkum bloke but as old Ned said such is life

[flatchat(Chris)]

Er, thanks Den. for recognising my finer tastes in life [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

An ode to the title
Ahem:- There was an Englishman (southern pom) who wanted to become a Scotsman (northern pom)-so off to his doctor 'e goes-- after some consultations was referred to a neuro surgeon who explained that at least 10% of his brain would have to be removed ,the patient agreed--the procedure took place and on the recovery table when 'e came too, the surgeon confessed that he'd had an accident with the scalpel and severed at least 50% of the brain - to which the now wide awake patient responded with "Aaaw FAIR DINKUM"

As I walked down the Earls Court road into a pub.I was lured. "Where do you come from", said a nosey Pom as I downed the amber fluid. So I told him straight "I'm Strailian mate, and I feel like getting plastered. But the beer is crook and the sheilas all look like you, Ya Pommie
bastard". (apologies to Barry Humphries). [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The last time I was at Earls Court, I saw Barry Humphries (he was the guest of honor at an antique book fair).

Dadadadadadadadada VACMAN........Sounds like one of those things that are bloody scary at the time but bloody funny if you get away with it. What happened when the vac reached the end of the hose?

[flatchat(Chris)]

Becas 'o me 'Oirish hestory

A priest at first mass was so scared he could hardly speak.
After the service he asked the monsignor how he went.
"Fine but next week try vodka in the holy water to relax you"
The following week he did so and really kicked up a storm.
After the service he asked once more - "How did it go?"
"Fine" came the reply "but a few things you should get straight."

1) There are 10 commandments not 12
2) There are 12 disciples not 10
3) David slew Goliath, he didn't kick the sh*t out of him.
4) We don't refer to Jesus as J.C.
5) Next Saturday there will be Taffy pulling contest at St. Peters,not a Peter pulling contest at St.Taffys.
6) The Father,Son and the Holy Ghost are not Big Daddy,Junior and Spark
7) Moses parted the waters of the red sea-he didn't pass the water.
8) We do not refer to Judas as El Finio.
9) The pope is consecrated not castrated.
10) We do not refer to Him as the God Father.
