And so, now it begins. First bounce of AFL season 2023 is tonight. I'm high on the hill, Looking over the bridge, To the M.C.G... (If its unfamiliar to you, and you’ve ever wondered what the “the clock on the silo” was, then here it is in all its statuesque Melburnian majesty in 1987).

Some of Farage’s talking points are good, but many are based on false perceptions or misinterpretations, or just factually wrong. He says that the UK turned its back on Australia as a result of the Suez Crisis of 1956 and the UK’s ‘East of Suez’ foreign policy since 1961. But that was just the...

Interesting take by P. J. Keating...

I never was a huge Elvis fan. Not my thing. Not that I think his work was bad. He had a great voice in his prime and some of his songs are very memorable to me after all these years. Just that the ostentatious costumes, and the type cast movie roles, and the gaudy Vegas shows made him appear a...

Sounds a bit like Temple Brewing in East Brunswick? https://templebrewing.com.au/

^ Found a channel that has pirated segments from series 2 of Clarkson’s Farm, including this one about his first tasting of his lager. (the copyright bots on YouTube might shut this channel down pretty soon).

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame brought out his own beer a little while ago - Hawkstone Lager, made from barley grown on his own Diddly Squat farm. Seems to have taken the UK market by storm. Anybody tried it? Is it a ‘proper pint’? Is it really any better that other offerings at the price? Or...

^ Yes, drink it fast, but as the Ancient Greeks learned that can cause issues at home. And cheers to you too, @TwoCrows

I found the recipe analysis and historical content in this quite interesting. A lighthearted, even chintzy, presentation of a complex subject - funny too in parts. And very informative (despite the embedded ad).

And what is good, Phaedrus, and what is not good - need we ask anyone to tell us these things? - Robert Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance Welcome to the mysterious pursuit of quality in beer (and if pursued honestly, in life). Enjoy the ride.

Yeah but.

A beautiful rendition of the immortal Vincent played and sung so well by the beautiful MonaLisa Twins. And the story of how the song came into being, told by its composer Don McLean.

One of the anthems of Aussie summer, referencing cricket in its vernacular title. Reminds me of long beachy days, Holdens with slidey bench seats, girls in **** tubes, and sweaty nights sinking beers from ring-pull steel cans. A great bass line too - Howzat by Sherbet. Onya Daz.

You can't get a much simpler ginger beer recipe than this one from the Australian Women's Weekly magazine back in 1951. (Australian Women's Weekly, Sat 3 Mar 1951, p.50) I presume a few wild yeast cells living on the skin of the sultanas innoculates the brew for carbonation. But perhaps not...

What is this Land of Kegs of which you speak? And by what dark sorcery doth it blind one so? May its pilgrims and the subjects of the King of Kegs live together peacefully here in the Shire.

Huh?

Why would Bum know where Nick JD is? He didn't seem too friendly in this thead (link below). Bum it seems was the first to throw Nick JD under the bus. And anyway right now in 2023 Bum hasn't been seen on this forum since 2013...
