I would send them a lot more than that!

What with ANZAC Day fast approaching there will be a lot of bad memories regarding the Japs (And don't tell me to be politically correct Pomo ).
Without the sacrifices of our Magnificant Wartime Heroes (And the Yanks of course) ---- REAL HEROES --- we would all be drinking sake (If those b#&tards allowed it?).

LEST WE FORGET

Sorry kook. Times change I guess?
If those Japs couldn't win then they might as well win now by buying us out lock, stock, & barrel? :angry:

Still Off Topic.

Those men & women died for all of us & democracy & for the right of free speech so I guess that gives you the right to ridicule them\my post gibbocore?
Just because the years are passing by does not mean that their sacrifice has been forgotten.
You are an Australian aren't you???? Enjoy your beers on ANZAC DAY.
No more responses from me.


LEST WE FORGET

Dont worry TP, most of us will be remembering the 40,000 Australians who died defending Australia in WW2.

Along with the 200,000 who died for the untenable imperialist ambitions of European monarchs in WW1.

From the person who took my thread on the proposed buy out to LN and dragged it so far off topic even i had to stop and think what is was about?

Pot. kettle. black.

From what I remember haven't they been looking at LN for some time now? I know one of the two Japanese big breweries were looking at buying them out after the Coopers fiasco.

Kirin Holdings already have 41% of issued stock, they are looking to secure the rest.

Thanks to World War 2 I don't have any older male relatives, even Dad died young from leukemia after being in Atom Bomb testing in the USA. However he did meet Mam whilst they were both in the air force so I wouldn't be here would I.

Lion Nathan are actually a fairly small setup by international standards, it just seems big to us from our point of view. What's the bet that in a few years Intermegasuperbrew conglomerate will buy Kirin, or that Kirin may even sell Lion Nathan to Interemeg. A similar smaller scale thing happened when San Miguel bought Boags then sold it to Lion.

Look what happened in the UK where nearly all the old big six breweries who controlled most production since the 1960s have been swallowed up by Inbev and Heineken who are ruthlessly closing down centuries old breweries. I reckon the takeover tsunami has only just started, Heineken to buy Fosters anyone ?
