I'm going for a [b]real[/b] beer. It's 5:35 local time and I will be sinking a cold Foster's by the time the thread can be loaded.
See you later, guys and gals. :)

the US of A because beer on this side of the pond is too gassy or carbonated for my liking. Oh we do have imports but if they acquire any degree of popularity, they soon start brewing them locally under license and they just aren't the same anymore. We get Fosters in Canada but it isn't the same as it used to be when it was imported; more gas in it now. What I fail to see, that living in a nation that brews some of the finest beers and ales in the world, like Bass or Younger's which immediately come to mind, Why would you want to be drinking horse piss like Foster's. I wouldn't be surprised if it's brewed there under license like our version of Foster's. Add to that your current annoyance with Aussies and all I can say is I'm surprised by your choice of tipple. I don't drink much beer on this side of the pond because it usually makes me feel bloated and nauseous before I can get any sort of buzz on. My beer drinking over here is usually confined to hot summer day when I've been exerting myself on the golf course or sailing but when I'm in England or Scotland I can guzzle away to my heart's content without getting the feeling I'm about to toss my cookies. I can actually get a buzz on drinking beer over there whereas over in North America, two is my limit before I start to regurgitate. That's one reason why I normally drink Scotch or hard liquor. It doesn't make me feel ill. I've had "real" Foster's when I've been down under and it's not too bad but the Aussies have another brand, which unfortunately I can't remember, that I liked better.
Anyway Neil, with your present aversion to cheeky Aussies I was a little taken aback by your choice of Foster's. And here I was under the impression that you were a man of good taste........ at least as far as beer goes. :^0 How long do you intend to continue supporting the Aussie economy??? Not that I'm implying you are a souse or anything like that.

how do you know what Neil tastes like? :0 NEVERMIND! What two concenting adults do in the back of a porn shop is of no concern of mine! B-)
[i]although you do seem to know a lot about strange things, like what horse piss would taste like? I will just have to take your work for THAT one too! :D
by sleepin'dawg
Either that or you are in dire need of a dictionary; you might be able to learn English.:^0
For openers I said I [b]thought[/b] he was a man of good taste. I did not say he tasted good or are you saying you have some strange urge to taste poor old Neil. Look out Neil!!! Be warned, Jd is on the loose and he hasn't been getting any lately. Beside I added the qualifier "of beer at least."
I called it horse piss because the colour is right and that's what it looks like. I never said I had any standard of comparison. I was just calling it as I saw it. Now here's a link for you and no it is not the idiot song. Try it!!! You'll laugh and if you want to use it, do so with my blessings.

Before you look at it, grab a cold one, sit down and polish your glasses or put your contacts in.
Have a good one Jd.
[b]Dawg[/b] ]:) B-)
next to the office. It's a tourist pub and the beer's shite but it's only 1m 35sec from my desk. We have very drying aircon in the computer room where I've being doing my tape-b:tch impersonation reloading our library all day and I needed something cold and wet so I could manage to speak again. 5% alcohol was incidental but welcome. :D
The first beer took a little over 5 seconds so taste was irrelevant.
Neil :p
Fosters [b]is[/b] made under license. The alternative draught lager is Stella Artois which is also made under license and I find it so different from the original Belgian as to be almost undrinkable. I don't usually drink London bitters as I favour the Midland and Northern brews like Marstons.

Do mind that Heineken is 3rd, Anheuser-Busch is 1th and Interbrew/InBev (Belgian) is 2nd as in volumes of beer producing/selling.
And as for bl**dy dutch: we ain't that bl**dy, never did fight a war ...
always told some one to do it for us :) :D :^0 and more, they did do it :^0 :^0 ;)
Well not all of us stood by and watched. Some did fight on the good site. And still do as I recall correctly as they are going to an other mission in Afganistan. :)

and have it poured through a funnel.
:D
I like my beers from Burton-on-Trent.
I was in amsterdam when the great man died. Drowned my sorrows quite thoroughly with ice cold heineken long necks.
Lovely stuff.
Fosters is undrinkable muck in comparison.
Tot Ziens
PS. That was my limit on dutch, aside from "twee varsche astublief".
Fighting seemed a are espisode for the dutch, though I did see one fella being chased up and down Dam square after assuming he'd found the one local he could insult in english and not be understood.
by rob mekel
Was a nice guy, got kidnapped once. Did get out of it in one piece. Did hunt his kidnappers down to every corner of the earth. :) got them. But legal system did set them free after 8 years or so. :(
Not bad, your dutch. The correct line for the beer would have been: twee vaasjes alstublief.
But it only works in Amsterdam and surroundings.
Vaasjes: a glass less then a pint but more then half a pint.
Ever tryed "Duvel" or "Triple" or "Morte Subiet" or ... well there are a dozen or so more little breweries that brew very tastful (8% + alcohol) beers.
Rob
Me and a buddy bought a bottle of every beer we could one night and a tasting session. Couldn't get on with most of the dark beers. Lentebok was nice and some of the wheat beers. We had something like 18 different ones, must confess I pretty much stuck to Freddy after that.
Dutch use to kill me, phonetically challenging.
One guy used to howl withe laughter every time I mentioned one of my attempts at pronounciation.
Stroopkoeken which I said in english stroepkooken, had him rolling about the floor that did.
Did 18 months in the netherlands working at Hoopdorf for AUCS. Good times, except from having to ward off people putting mayonaise on your chips or offering you a chocolate sandwich.

It was only a couple (well, three) of well-earned pints to rehydrate my system after an afternoon being blitzed by the office aircon.
But, nonetheless, enjoyable for all that!
Neil :D
by sleepin'dawg
Never heard of it. What is it??? Explain, please.
[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)
I had it nailed for a Tequila immediately and then "Google is your friend" confiirmed it and, at the same time, logged some more information for the FCBIIA about my search patterns.
You must have picked up on Mae's liking for Tequila before now?
:p

by jdclyde
During tha VanHager daze, they started up "Cabo Wabo", a bar in Mexico and branded a local tequlia.
It is now Sammys.
http://www.beerliquors.com/buy/liquors/cabowabo.htm
I have never tried it, but now that I have seen I can get it on-line, I will be doing something about that! (although looking at the prices, this will have to be a birtday present for myself!)
This is the stuff that Sammy got Ted Nuggent going on, after a lifetime of no drugs or booze, when they toured together a few years ago. Yeah, sammy was ripped by the time they both came back out for the encore......
by rob mekel
beers like Duvel (Devil) or Morte Subiet (Death on the Instant) both belgian beers. Very very tasty. :p :x

I don't mess with any fermented cactus juice which has a worm in it. If anyone chooses to get themselves bent out of shape on Tequilla all I can say is God bless them becuase the next morning they will swear that the devil hinself has got ahold of them.
[b]Dawg[/b] ]:)
by maecuff
1. Mezcal has the worm, NOT tequila. I would never drink anything with a worm in it.
2. I've been drinking tequila for YEARS and have rarely felt like the devil got ahold of me. His cousin? Maybe. But not the devil.
by jdclyde
I personally feel great. Can't speak for Mae, as I don't know the quantity that is consumed.
I often feel better after a tequilla than after a normal nights sleep! :D
Now, tap beer! That is a horse of another colo(u)r! A few glasses of nasty tap beer and I will feel horrible the whole next day!

Not content with virtual sex or virtual gambing or ..
Don't forget your Guy Falk mask for the walk home, and the curfew!
(just saw v for vendetta)
From the ads with the guy in mask thought it would be stupid but it was good, and a heavy thinking movie despite the gratuitous violence. Great for those who don't kowtow to authority.
Some idiot in the audience said loudly at one point 'This is BS!'. Probably some ultraconservative who didn't like the newsclips about the US war in middle east dragging on (movie set about 2015). I thought that was funny, must have hit home.
by jdclyde
Or someone that doesn't think movies intended for entertainment should be used to push political or social agendas?
So much for being entertained.
So, how was the pedaphile scene? Sounds like a real great show......
by dr dij
that as likely political bent of someone who'd be upset by a trivial reference to the US bogged down in a war they were losing. Since I didn't view the movie as too distorted, simply possible futures, etc without comment, the person was a bit stupid to react the way they did.
(10 years in the future of course so is sci-fi, not social commentary, after all, it was 1000+ days ago that the 'mission was accomplished' in Iraq, right?)
Actually the pedophile scene WAS good. The person involved got their just dues.. Natalie Portman, however, got victimized several times in the movie. (Or is that ruining the movie for you?
:)

"lock up your daughter
lock up your wife
lock up your #### ####
and run for your life!"
Had to edit to keep you from getting ideas mae! :0
by maecuff
Are they bad ideas? Bad as in naughty or bad as in evil? Either way, why would you think I'd have bad ideas? Or are they good ideas? In which case, why would you want to keep good ideas from me? Do you think I'm not capable of handling the good ideas? Or the bad ones? Or do you think I already have enough of my own?
Oh, well..regardless..what the hell did you edit?

Not aquaited with the song "TNT" by AC/DC?

See me ride out of that sunset
On your color TV screen

Women to the left of me
And women to the right

Cause I'm T.N.T I'm dynamite
T.N.T. and I'll win that fight
T.N.T. I'm a power load
T.N.T. watch me explode
I'm dirty, mean and mighty unclean
I'm a wanted man
Public enemy number one
Understand?
So lock up your daughter
Lock up your wife
[b]Lock up your back door[/b]
And run for your life
The man is back in town
So don't you mess around
Cause I'mT.N.T. I'm dynamite

T.N.T.. I'm a power load
T.N.T. watch me explode

T.N.T.
Watch me explode

He'd put muy backside on the barbey.
I think I've figured it out (Neils current predisposition). There's a major sporting competition happening right now (the commonweath games). But Neil's always welcome down under anyway. I'd always buy him a beer.
A bit of trivia. If australia had the population and economic strength of the US we would have taken every gold medal in the Sydney 2000 olympics. Source Roy Slaven and HG Nelson.
Australia are just "target of the moment". I'm working my way through the alphabet.
Belgium next month...
"If Australia had the population and economic strength of the US" you would have Aussies behind the bar of every pub in the world and you still wouldn't have any writers, artists, scientists, philosophers...
As for the CG, I watched Dean Macey's win and that's about it.
by mjwx
if there were 250 million of us beer production would need to increase 15 fold to cope.
That was a good laugh. Thanks neil.
You?ve forgotten
Austria
Azerbaijan
Bahamas
Bahrain
Bangladesh
Barbados, and
Belarus
Are between Australia and Belgum :).

I was singing TNT But JD beat me to it.
Nah nah nah nah nah
thunder
nah nah nah nah nah

Hey, JD started it.
Australia are my current pick because of that bloody silly advert.
Belgium are next because I really, really can't see the point in Belgium.
Austria is still just another bit of Germany and I'll get to them when it's Germany's turn.
Azerbaijan is another of them Islamic states. You have to be wary with them!
Bahamas - well, what have they ever done to annoy me? Hint: Invite me over there, guys.
Bahrain is over 90% desert. When the oil runs out, they're toast! They don't need me getting at them as well. As Islamic states go, they're quite laid back as well.
Bangladesh is a bit too low lying. With the rise in sea level expected (by all but the Yanks) in the next few years, they're all going to have to learn to swim. They have enough troubles of their own.
Barbados - see Bermuda.
Belarus. The place is radioactive! They're still shovelling up the crap twenty years after Chernobyl. I'll leave them be for now. (It's the anniversary next month).
Nope, Belgium it is. Beer's OK and they invented French Fries and, as well, they ...um...um...um.. nope, can't think of anything. OK! Famous Belgians. Well, there's ...um...um Eddy Merckx and, hey, Dr. Evil in Austin Powers.
That's Belgium done, maybe I should move on...
Who should be next?

to start the "what is your earwig" discussion again? :D
That one was fun, trying to come up with the catchiest annoying songs of all time! :^0

on chips as the English do. yuk!!
But can imagine that our mayonnaise habit with chips or potato crisps can be disgusting.
Was it very disturbing that we call the English chips -> friet (french fries [actually belgian fries or patatten (as the belgian say)]) and potato crisps -> chips.
As we where on vacation in Alaska, but same to our vacation to BC Canada and north-western USA, did have a bbq, got some meat, oh man, were those pieces of meat huge. And the coffee, eeggh, not drinkable. But as I have an addiction to coffee, well there is caffeine in it so. Do like the refills tho.
Rob
imports of Walkers Salt'N Vinegar crisps (chips) made a change from paprika ones. lot's of your countrymen got into them.
Had to stop when customs got curious about the rustling noise when I went through.
