That's a bit like going to buy something at a sale where there's 25% off when you never intended to buy anything anyway.

But Andy, my wife does that all the time!! She then tells me how much she has saved rather than how much she has spent.

I suggest for those who don't smoke and drink that you start now, you will then feel better off when you come here.

Sounds great son but whys me beer so expensive $6.8 a pint in a pub around 2.65GBP , have I got the wrong bad habits?

:D :cool: :beer:

Yep - I certainly have never understood this piece of 'female logic'. Whereas me trying to explain why I need some new electronic 'toy' has her similarly shaking her head in disbelief.:confused:

Oh well - maybe there is something true in the quote (and book) 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'.:D

The cheapest pint in the OB Pub is Carlton Mid $5.5 a pint and that is dish water , but I do drink export because its only a tad dearer than the local crap.
The landlady does a special some nights at $5.00 a pint and happy hour its $4. all pints , Midis normal price.

Why would you want to order a pint of dish water? Is it any good? Dish water here doesn't taste that good.

BTW: wot's a midi? is that like a schooner? Need to know these things before I come over.

Must rush but a midi is under half a pint costs around $3,0 gone in two slips.
The dish water here tastes crap too but its sold as beer beware of any thats not full strength , I tried XXXX Gold because its was on special after taking the first and second one back because it tasted like soap I gave up on .

:D :cool: :beer:
