Before the start of play today, the TV station played a tape of the celebrations in the dressing room after the last test when we regained The Ashes.
Most of the lads were drinking Corona with a wedge of lemon.
What will happen if they get a 5-0 clean sweep. They'll hook into a few Bacardi Breezers and finish of the night with a Midori and Lemonade.

I neve understood that no carbs crap. Why would beer have carbs?? sure suger is a carb but there should be no suger in a fully fermented beer. People say it is the carbs in beer which make you fat but a carb only has 16kj per gram whee as alchol has 26kj per gram

How so?? yeast is more like a bacteria than a carbohydrate and is introduced in a sall sachet for a home brew so its addition to a batch is in fact very small

Hi Truckster,
My wife and 17 yo are in Melb from
Perth for the test, and bought 4 days worth of tickets way back in ?June when they went on sale. Couldn't buy Day 5 tickets. Story from them is that ACB will refund automatically all tickets bought online and anyways peoples have a month or three months or some decent period, to return their tickets for a refund.
What's the real disgrace is how each of the first three days were supposed to be a sellout, yet there were sections of the stands with no one in them and sprinkings of empty seats all around the ground. This denied others from getting in that were real cricket fans, not shandy drinkers.... or profiteers.
I reckon there should be a policy that on days that are declared a sellout, that any seats not taken up by the lunch break be offered for sale at half price, and any others still not taken up at the tea break be given away.

Sponsored by Fosters Group, VB brand, * Corona. *Imported Brand. It's a sponsor thing.

Disgraceful, using a sponsors product to celebrate WINNING THE ASHES. How many sports people do you see drinking the 'sponsors champange' upon victory? Disgraceful??

I know the Forumula 1 events are sponsored by Moet & Chandon .. which is why they get to spray so much of it around on the winners' dais. And if you've ever tasted that stuff, I think spraying it around is a good option. Or sticking it in your car battery.
Happy New Year : )

Ferkin oath mate! Emu Export and Winnie Reds only those shirt lifting nancy boys. (I actually remember promising to give up drinking when I could no longer buy a carton of Export cans and a pack Reds for under $20 at the Shents drive-thru.....true!)
If they really want get proper flash, perhaps a 'Gin's Kiss' cocktail would be more appropriate ie: drink a third of the Export then top the can back up with Stones Green Ginger Wine, shake and serve with a Winfield Red lit using a lighter.

Dont mind a few Coronas myself, sometimes Emu Export, occasionally another brand (not a big beer drinker though)
I know one thing for sure though, VB is the foulest CATS P*SS I have tasted anywhere around the world that I have travelled to. Cant recall any other beers that I have disliked, some are tasty, some not so tasty, but VB is disgusting. The only time I can force it down my throat is to be polite to someone that you want/need to be polite to.

You can never judge the calibre of the man by the drink that he clutches. My cousin married a kiwi bloke. Hell of a nice bloke but unfamiliar with the Australian outback.
The brothers and I took him up to QLD and then drove out to
Longreach for the cattle sales. We spent the night at the
Augathella hotel. After a long dusty day we were standing at the main bar surrounded by even dustier locals when we ordered the drinks to quench the parched throats. "Beer, heavy, heavy, Shandy please!" I swear you could have heard a mouse break wind. Some wag at the end of the bar yells out "A F*#@*n shandy what are ya a F*#@*n....."
As he does so turns to us and sees that the orderee is a 6'5" rugby playing Moari who's built like the brick perverbial. Without faultering the wag continues...
"....top bloke and I think I'll have one my self!" Suffice to say it was shandy's all round and a top night had by all.
Moral of the story, I think; Who cares what they drink as long as they crucify the poms!

Not supporting Corona however most Australian beers are an insult to drinkers. Boags is OK, but stuff like Fourex, VB and Fosters are headsplitters with a watery thin taste.
But who cares as long as the poms get a decent flogging. No-one celebrates like the Poms if they win and they get gongs from Miss Piggy for doing the colonials!
Just love it when a pro-Pom commentator has to eat his words when Warnie scatters the bails!
