They are a superstitious lot, these aussies.
I was over there a few years ago, in Alice Springs and I was in a bar .

The barman refused to serve me, because I was a bit, er, 'unsteady'
'Sorry mate, we dont serve boguns'

but I knew there was an eclipse coming, so I pointed to the sky, and shouted
'O great sun God, listen to thine servant, head of the Liverpool Bumdingo tribe, and go dark'

when the sky went dark, the aussies started wailing and throwing dirt into their hair, then they got down on their hands and knees , grovelling to me,
'O great chief of the BumDingos, please make the sun shine again. dont leave us in perpetual darkness'
just then , the eclipse ended, so I said

'pint of fozzies and a packet of crisps please mate'

what made it really funny though, was that it was 12 oclock at night

They don't sell Fosters in Australia. It's too weak for the domestic market.

No doubt Aussielong will figure his evening's cocktail of drugs and booze has finally kicked in and he's had another episode

I bet you've kissed a few cane toads.

Yes they do, its just not very popular.

The brewery (actually named Fosters) dont promote it much as they make more money from Crown, VB etc

Incidentally the Fosters in Australia is 4.9%, the same as Crown.

Are you sure you're actually from Australia?
