Bip 88 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 This made me chuckle....I sat down and put my feet up to watch a hired movie the other night, I know what you are thinking, dennis staying in well not really I was asked by my daughter if I would like to go over to theirs for my tea and so I did. After I had finished stuffing myself silly with free sausage, stake, lamb burgers and BBQ chicken we all settled down to watch a film, the main menu came up and one of the choices was language, basically you have to choose the language you want before you can play the film, anyroadup there was over thirty languages to chose from and one of them was Australian.....Now is it just me but don't the aussies speak broken English? should it have said Aboriginal? that I can understand....

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 They drink in half pints so as it doesn't get warm. Oz beer is served in ice cold glasses at about 36F. That size in NSW is called a Midi, if you wanted a pint, always ask for a Schooner! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bazza 71 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Cumon Ayup mite.You've forgotten already haven't you. A schooner is a bit less than a pint.A pint can be obtained in some of the pubs around Bondi mainly I think because of the many Pommie and Kiwi inhabitants there. Mick,have you been boning up on strine so you can pay us a visit and get straight into the conversation??? You'll also have to learn how to eat one of our meat pies without scalding yourself on the gravy while holding a schooner of ice cold beer in the other hand.

But before I go, Has anybody seen that ad on the box for car insurance me thinks It's called Sheilas Wheels, is it just me but in some parts of that ad is the Pink car the Sheilas are driving going backwards or is it just the tablets I'm on sending my brain the wrong messages?

Look don't lets fall out about ossie measures it's really not worth it, besides Midi & halfs are only for ex pat puffs. The only people who drink halfs here are women and children the men drink their beer by the pint or Furkin which is nine gallons...if my mate got me an half I wouldn't drink it, I would tell him to take it back and ask the bar person to put it in a pint pot and top it up PLEASE!!!!!!...never could understand those who by their beer by the half pint besides it costs more...p uuuuuffs the lot.. !rulez! Ayup! how do you know that the beer is served at 36c? do you carry a thermometer with you? and besides if you drank your beer quicker it wouldn't have the chance to get warm....silly...tight ex pat..

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Most pubs I went in Den, and that covers clubs too, had a sign saying "Our beer is served at 5C" One of the big digs over there is the warm Pommie beer! When you buy a beer down under Den, the law in every state states you have to have a clean glass each fillup. You are not allowed to use the same glass without it being washed! The clean glasses are kept in a large glass fronted freezer, when they get a glass out, it's frosts up! Then the cold 5C beer is poured into it! BTW, you can ask for a jug of beer of you want! Same as here, saves keep getting up and going for refills. BUT then who wants their beer to get warm as Pommie beer, Nahhh I'll drink mine in Midi's, don't last long anyway, cold to the last drop B) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Just a few points ayup. I would like to bring you up to speed as it is 2006 and not 1990..ayup. Firstly we too are given a clean glass everytime, if they don't you can insist they do but if you prefer your dirty glass they will refill it for you. I find it's one of those habits which is dieing out fast.....secondly our beer is seved cold, the big boys in the brewing industry think that we bitter drinkers like our bitter as cold as Lager some do but I don't, the way I like it is just below room temp....well that's just my taste...I find the colder the brew the less taste it has but then again that's probably the way the brewers would like us to drink it that way they don't have to make a brew with taste saving on good ingredients...cheep beer sold at a high price...and another thing we pay extra for the cold stuff......I call that rip off Britain...they would say more profit for the shareholder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I've had to take a drink back because the glass had lipstick on! What did they do?, pour the drink into a clean glass and give it me back! I of course asked for a fresh glass & Drink? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
