Three years into his administration and he finally makes it to Australia.

Don't suppose you Aussies generously provided a slang-a-prompter to help him get through it? :D

So where was the raising of a tin of Foster's in a toast then? :hmmm:

Dont imply that Australians drink Fosters, they tend to find that deeply offensive :DL - as all the one i have met totally hate it :woot:

Not as bad as Carlsberg, its way nastier, but weirdly Carlsberg Export is quite nice.

Fosters is ok in my book. Then again, so is Schaefer Beer. :hmmm:

So did he butcher it like JFK did with his "Ich bin ein Berliner", where he proclaimed that he was a jelly donut?

Poor Obama, hey at least now we know Ann "the man" Coulter is wrong. Your black is not better, both are equally pathetic.:D

He did look like he was referring to notes with some of the slang. I can;t wait till he gets back to US and starts flinging "Ear Bashing" around the Oval Office.:D

I too am deeply offended by the suggestion that Fosters is even Australian. It's British South African now.:O: No-one down here drinks that waste water.

I got cursed out by an Oz fella I was playing a multiplayer with for telling him I'd buy him a Fosters.

He told me to stuff it somewheres, before he explained it isn't even popular over there. He didn't refer to it as waste water.... Water yes, he used a worse reference than waste.:DL

Nah too late he buggered off to Bali last night. I will take you up on the Newcie Brown though.:yep:

Foster's has one of the worst after tastes ever. Its crap beer. I think the only reason why anyone thinks Fosters is the Australian national beverage of choice is because of Paul Hogan.

nikimcbee 11-17-11 02:46 PM

But what about the ad with Reece in it?
