That fence is only 65km/40 miles north of me and rabbits are fine this side of it, but on the other side you get fined, plus that fine has recently been increased from $15,000 to $40,000.

Cheers.


That's wild. Australia fascinates me. I'd love to visit it and New Zealand.

Both places are something different, but don't forget to bring your sense of humour with you as ya'll need it in both countries. ;-)

I've known a few from both places, either online, or in person, and they've all been very easy-going people.

That we are Gordon, but we are also a bunch of jokers as well and those that don't bring a sense of humour with them tend to want to label us as racists and/or bigots instead because they just totally miss that humour sadly (what's life if you can't have fun?).

Time for another beer chaps.

Cheers.

I can't say I always get the joke, but I definitely try to take most reality with a dose of humor.

You're making me thirsty.

Oh well I just found out the next thing to happen today.

My youngest daughter just turned up again and informed me that she was staying for a few days.

Definitely time for another beer.

Cheers.

I used to know someone from Brisbane who talked about ginger beer all the time. Seemed like she drank it the way we would ginger ale over here, but I think it's a brew like real beer. Now that I think about it, I'm craving a Meade.

Ah the old ginger beer, yes it gets brewed in my brewroom just like my beer (5.2% and the girls love it). :-)

Never heard of ginger beer with a punch until you said something about a week ago. :O

I've never attempted home-brewing any type of beer, but there's been quite a few microbrew pubs open around me the last several years. I just don't tend to get out anymore, working overnight. On the other hand, I can go in with a growler and get it filled up with whatever for some take-home brew. ;-)

We have a lot here now too, even in my town which is small has a bunch. Some of them are pretty darn good too. The ones I seem to like most (not local) is Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA and Ninkasi triple IPA out of OR works for me. :) the last one is about 10%.

A long time ago, there was a microbrew from Portland, Oregon I loved, called Haystack Black. It was only available for a few months and then stopped being distributed here. Dark Porters are really my favorite type of beer. There's one called Old Engine Oil which I love, and a unique local one called a Nitro-Porter, that has the stout quality from nitrogen injected into it.

I think Ninkasi is from Portland OR., Little high in price though but Sierra Navada are about the same tasting but cheper. both sell here pretty good.

There's a beer store here that does tastings the way wine places do. Not only am I thirsty now, I'm hungry for some pizza. This night has gone by quick.
