        The word 'OOOOOPS' comes to mind.  Sorry about that.  Yours

You wrote something like that on Fosters?  Just imagine what you'd do on 
a real beer - XXXX ;)

And finally Martin (hes victorian... possibly an Aussie. ) spake:

One two many Xs my friend. We all know how repressed you northerners 
are...

*hic*

Whats funny is the way marketing has changed over the years... what was 
bottled under 'XXX' was a lot stronger than what is now bottled under 
'XXXX', and the X's were meant to be an indication of alcoholic strength.

        No problem, sport.  Just say something nasty about
the Aussies and you'll have all the mail you can handle.

*raised eyebrow*...

*sigh*  An Aussie's work is never done, after all, we're the life of the
party ;)

Of the peanut gallery at least... Or is that too Sir Joh for you?

And here we have a prime example of Australians bashing Australians.  We 
can't help it, its in our blood.  Actually, this isn't country bashing, 
but rather state vs state (Queensland, Beautiful one day, perfect the 
next) 

And so, he has insulted my state with a reference to both peanuts (a 
decent sized industry in QLD) and to one of the former Premiers (even if 
he was a bit bent ;) ).  So, a suitable retort would be..

Ya budget's like the weather - dark, gloomy and more trouble on the horizon.

Which insults both their weather (wet) and their budget (disgraceful)

        (I'm taking my flu back to bed now.)

Personally, I'd prefer to take something else to bed... like human, 
female, .... ;)

I thought you liked demonic types... There's always Infurita you 
know... I only hope she ain't listening!!

Yeah, well, she's got a bit of a fixation on staffs you see - alright for 
a one night fling, but not for anything longer... <g,d,r>
