My wife was out there for work earlier this year, said they had white rabbit and a few other decent drops at the time

Yea, they do. Knappstein, white rabbit, the matilda range, coopers and others i cant remember as i've left and gone back to unit. A decent range that would put many brissy pubs well and truly to shame. I'm fairly certain i was the only one drinking them, but at least they were there. I saw plenty of xxxx gold poured.....

Who else here is tasting beers they've entered in the castle hill comp and thinking "hmm, might've wasted $5 on an entry there"?
 
Well, that was a rather exciting drive back from the inlaws, for all the wrong reasons....

Just as we came into the 60km/h zone at Blaxland the person in the next lane merged literally INTO the guy on the sports bike right in front of me. He hit the anchors, flipped the bike over the front wheel, somehow appeared to come out of it unharmed, bike is looking a bit beyond worse for wear though. Glad the Barina pulls up quick as he would have ended up under it if it didn't.

Have to say though, in terms of time and places to crash a bike, he did well. Between my missus (an RN with a specialisation in cardiac nursing) being in the car with me directly behind him and the fact an Ambo was going the other way 2 mins after it happened he couldn't have choosen a better spot to stack it.
 
I'm still in shock that he stood up within 10secs of hitting the deck.....
 
Yeah, felt much better knowing he was in the hands of the Ambos before we left.
 
ahh iTunes - I wanna punch my laptop so hard.

edit, Windows Media Player 11 isn't any better...
 
Actually no, i don't have it... just an example. Hanging out for BF3 actually... used to play BF2 on PC a fair bit. Only recently got a replacement PS3 after a 12 month layoff so finishing off MGS4 and GTAIV Episodes.
 
Got home yesterday and thought, "Might do a brew tomorrow night".
Mash tun's all clean, waters in the urn (ah, bugger, forgot the 1/2 campden tablet), timer's turned on. APA is on the cards.
And with today's temp in Sydney it should be a pleasant night sitting out the back with some tunes and hop aromas.

It wasn't pleasant, it was windy and cold.
Beer got brewed, which is the main thing.
Tonight's cleanup night.
 
Just got a new 2TB drive along with new MB, CPU, RAM and GFX. I need to repartition my old 2TB drive to install the OS so I decided to format the new one first (it's a slower 5400 so I don't want to make it a boot drive). Well ~2 hours in my graphics drivers on the current PC have crashed (AGAIN!) but it's still running, just not displaying anything. Problem is, I have no idea how much longer it's going to take. A quick google suggests up to 7 hours total! Looks like I'm in for a long night and only the wife's shitbox to keep me company. :S
