EH!!??????? I ***ING LOVE AUSSIE and your wife is UPSET???????????????????????????????

Your wife has never met me, and clearly doesn't know me...if I was having a compare or dig, it was an 'in joke' reference to the way we spend hrs comparing things on this forum...eg chocolate

Thanks all for trying to put the record straight.

I'm even a litle peeved that he may have gotten exactly the ute I was wanting to buy ... there had better be another like it at the same price!

The poster's girlfriend clearly doesn't understand the "kid in a sweetshop" feeling of going into a coldstore on a sweltering day to choose an aussie beer to take home to mates. It's a drinking method I much prefer to sipping warmish beer in a pub with the rain outside. [QUOTE]

listen to CH. Buying a slab of my mate's fav beer was a pleasure. You got it first time. Yup - the Triton is a lot cheaper and mine is great. Wanted a Hilux but there are more...

That could sound mighty strange and painful to some. I am with Amazulu and take my thongs off before driving. How is the ute?

Now hold on but I'm almost feeling sorry for this pillock . A touch of look before you leap before posting against people like badge.

BTW, I wasn't trying to live the cliche, but the first things I did were buy a 4X4, a pair of rossis and decide whether a block of Emu Ex was better than a slab of VB.

Cheers now

Well done Badge, let it out. I was hoping you'd come along to stick up for yourself (we were doing our best for you, but it's always better from the horse's mouth, so to speak).

But you've got one thing wrong though - Tooheys New, mate. Not VB. Of course, I don't drink the stuff, as we know, but I swear allegiance to all things Toohey due to my association with Mr Bundy.

Mr Bundy's choice of beer in the UK. Good taste, WBB.
