Twofingersalute,

So you see friendly piss-taking as a "rascist vindictive slur", that's how you take it, that's not everyone's opinion. I know expats who have been here for 30 years, and they certainly don't share your opinion. I think it depends on your attitude to Australia and Australians, if you land with a chip on your shoulder and a superiority complex, you're doomed from the start. I like to think that I'm open, friendly, and don't judge people - and thatt's what I've experienced in return.

Paul.

This may cheer you up it had me in tears , I have lost all hope a loser with a bigger beer bill .


IT'S enough to make a grown man cry into his beer - the price of the amber fluid will rise next month yet again.

Cartons of beer are set to increase by $1 while Crown Lager drinkers will be slugged an extra $1.50 a carton.
Bottles of beer will rise on average by 10c.

The increase will see the price of VB jump to more than $30 a carton.

Brewing companies yesterday said the increases were due to the consumer price index and beer excise and it was up to the individual bottle shop as to whether they passed on that increase.

News of the hike left a bitter taste in the mouth of beer drinkers yesterday.

David Anderson and Brett Medlin walked into the Royal Oak Hotel in Parramatta for a lunch break beer.

The builders said they were angered but not surprised by the price increase.

"It is always the smokers and drinkers who cop it. It's always the working class," Mr Anderson said.

Mr Anderson, who buys at least one carton of beer a week, said the price increase couldn't be justified.

"You get big executives getting paid millions a year and here they are slugging the little man a lousy dollar," the 49-year-old said.

Mr Medlin said drinkers had no choice but to pay.

"It's one of life's little pleasures and it used to be cheap pleasure but not now," he said.

Independently-owned liquor shops yesterday said they expected to feel the consumer backlash.

"We are struggling as it is and this increase doesn't help," one shop owner said.

"Buyers are going to be angry when they find out the price has gone up."

How many in a crate? because in my working out (and I could be wrong) that works out at about £11. If you get twelve in a crate then thats cheap.
As for pints costing from £2.20 (over $6) and thats the cheap crap that comes out the other end before you finish your pint.
Lets put bottles in the equation, one bottle of your finest yank swill will put you back anything from £2.50 (yet again over $6) and in some pubs the quality of draught is so poor you would rather cola.
When you consider that the same yank swill will set you back in some corner shops 80p depending on area then I for one would rather sit on the back porch of a night time with the barbie on the go and a couple of mates around, but then that can still cost you £30-£40 and you can never get the weather.

Heres a bit of advice may help you , do not cross the police here they are not nice people.Pay your traffic finds on time and never ever give Mr Plod a load of mouth.




Police used a cattle prod to question suspect: POLICE officers investigating an armed burglary 12 years ago used an electric cattle prod on one suspect and terrorised and assaulted others, the WA police royal commission was told today.

The suspects were being questioned over a theft at a Perth home on August 7, 1990, in which a woman and her daughter were threatened with a machete while three men stole gold bars and diamond jewellery from a safe.


Sounds like the scumbags derved it (if they were guilty of course!)
