    My wife is a cider nut (prefers dry styles). She'll drink genuine magners, won't touch their BUL stuff though.

    I love my Note 3. Huge screen, battery lasts all day with heavy use, plus a stylus for when my fat fingers can't hit the right spot.

    Yeap. I'm part of the Orange crowd now..... Although I haven't brewed ay home in ages, partly because my HLT is at work being used as a caustic soda boiler and partly because I am able to take home beer from work. Bribie, Old Bar hey? might have to stop by next time I go see the parents up...

    Saved the school groundskeeper life yesterday (he had a cardiac arrest, I was second on scene and did CPR till the ambos showed), the P+C left a case of beer on my back porch as a thankyou, and it's Heineken.......

    Tattoos - Who's Got 'em

    Really depends on how it goes healing wise, my current expectation is at least another 2-3 weeks of the vinegar/clingwrap..........In a few more days I'll be adding in scrubbing with a rough loofa in the shower to help clear out all the gunk that accrues in the lines.

    Tattoos - Who's Got 'em

    Just gave it the first vinegar bath.........Sat there going "ehhh, this ain't too bad, why didn't I do this last time". Then I heard the sizzle under the paper towel and the burn kicked in....Glad I had a beer in my left hand to help with that one.

    Tattoos - Who's Got 'em

    Finally got a start on my opposite sleeve last night. Spent roughly 2hours making stencils based on my left arm and positioning them just right. Throw in 2.5hours in the chair being scalpelled and I was damn tired by the end of it...... Will post the pics as links as there is a pretty decent...

    I think Kmart are onto a winner.....The bulk of their items are in dollar units. If you imagine how much less change they are required to stock as part of this, nationwide they are probably saving a few hundred thousand in coin delivery fees.... I used to do the same when I was running a pub...
