If you don't hear from any Aussie's for the next couple of days, you know that they had an Australia Day to remember!:up:

Okay its officially Australia day. Its 12:28am on monday morning and I'm knocking back a Holgate ale. Definitely starting the day right! Of course this is after kicking some serious commie ass in world in conflict but thats a story for another time.

If you live in Victoria and enjoy your beer or even if you're just visiting, take the trip down to Woodend and check the brew out. Nice friendly staff and decent food to boot. http://www.holgatebrewhouse.com/

My Dad lives there in Woodend. In winter it is about as close as it gets to the winter over here in England. Bloody cold that it. :lol: Anyway it is a nice place although it's quiet country town atmosphere has changed considerably over the years. Yuppies have moved in. :damn: Yet it's only a 1 hour train ride direct into Spencer Street station to watch by beloved Geelong Cats play at Docklands Stadium (Telstra Dome).

As for the beers made by the Holgate microbrewery I cannot give a fully informed comment as I have been a teetotaller for many years now. However previously being a lover of fine brews, certainly the colour and aromas of the beers that Holgate produce are top noth and my father has a very favourable opinion of them. :up:

Oh yeah, happy Australian Day to the guys and girls back home. :()1:

Looks like TarJak is making quite a day of it :lol:

Thought he hadn't been on TS for a while :hmm:

Ye cheeky geordie git!:rotfl:BTW I'm on now!

Well I'm not/wasn't :lol:

I could see that! Hunter was lurking as usual so I had a chat with him and then left you a rude note. ;)

My Brother in law stopped being a pom and became an Aussie for Australia day!:up: NO more teasing him about home!

Good to see another conversion.:lol: Assimilate him!

Most of the way there, but he's still calling soccer football!:roll:

8ollox to that! It's f...in' soccer or nuffink init!

But it's just another game played by men with funny shaped balls :hmm:

Now football.....that's a different matter :lol:

A game that is played by a bunch of cry babies and egotisits!:yep:

Overpaid cry babies and egotists at that...

Ever noticed the the highest paid Soccer players only have one name - Ronaldo etc...?

You'd think with all that cash the first thing would be to buy a second name ;):rotfl::rotfl:

People keep blabbering on about how much movie stars earn - lets be honest, soccer players are higher paid than actors, and their acting skills are abominable.!!

Won't someone think of the poor hollywood actors!!:haha:

When they find the cancer causing gene, I'll give them a raise!
