It's a gift pack of 4 Grolsch swingtops and two v. nice classes for $16.50.

As the swingtops are useually around $7.50 each this is pretty good value I reckon.

This is on in the Sydney stores until the end of November.

Don't know about the other states of course.

Modelling classes?
Painting Classes?

I remember the days when a trrue Aussie would throw imported booze down the sink. Now we are bombarded with all sorts of stuff....but those Coronas are nice. My son got me onto them. But what has happened to the good ol' aussie boozer who'd drink nothing but VB? Is he still here ?

Died of alchohol poisoning I think.

True story, I wouldn't lie to you.

A couple of months ago, we had a few blokes working for us, as regular viewersa would know, this is unusual, I only employee people on a seasonal basis. Anyhoo, after a coluple of weeks the job was finished, we sat around a table whilst I made out the payments for the work. We handed each of them a Crownie to drink, as is the custom. two out of three couldn't get the tops to screw off, no matter how hard they tried, one of them asked if they were left handed thread.

I think these pass as VB swilling individuals.

Engineers perhaps?

If there is one thing engineers can do, it's get into beer.

None of the big stable's produce a beer that is worth dinking.

Stables, eh? Have you tried the pubs?

There is a restaurant up this way that charges $12 each for them but they will let you take the empties home to store your wood oil in.

Yes, his name is Len and he's my wife's brother.

Actually, we're drinking VB at the moment. Won a case in the meat raffles last week. I prefer Old if I'm drinking supermarket beer but VB is OK.

So is anybody else homebrewing

So that's what you do with them.

I was wondering what use to put the empties to. They seem too good to go in the recycling bin yet I don't want them to end up gathering dust in the shed either.

Any other suggestions for the empties?

And no, I'm not into home brewing.

you could throw them at the indian myna birds....

Don't have them thankfully.

I 'spose I could chuck them at the Brushtail possum though.
