Too much champagne (A classic oxymoron). Celsius.

Thats about what we are expecting in Sydney today too

Don't you hate these cold winters...LOL

You don't know when you have it good.

oh, i think we do actually

Indeed we do. If I ever feel cold, I just look at the temperatures on the UK weather forecast and get that snug'n'smug feeling
'Ning - a pint, please.

but they do have a superior range of beer to choose from.

I'd say it's self service at this time of day....

Looks like. Good job they have some UK guest beers .... I think I'll pass on the Wadsworth's XXXXXX at this hour, and go for some Adnams. What's yours?

I'd pass on the Adnams as well if you don't mind. Get swamped with it where I live. That and bleeding Greene King Thankfully there's a really good free house down the road

Anyway, you've got some nice beers over there yourself, which reminds me I've still got a couple of bottles of Coopers downstairs But not to be drunk at half four in the morning when I'm on my way to work.

Admans never used to taste the same once it got outside horse-drawn range. You can get it in tins now (even in Antipodes), but it just don't taste right.

Yes - Coopers is good, and there are a few decent small breweries around, but they output different stuff every week - OK if you like excitement, I suppose.

C'arn the Wallabies!

Well said Looney. Pity i will be playing at the same time and will miss the whole thing

Bloody 'ell Pastey i was wondering what you were doing here at this time of day. Sorry i missed you but we had a long lunch No Coopers though...don't forget to try and find the Dark Ale

From my side of the island, I can recommend "Guildofrd Porter" - a local resurrection of the porter style, with the pun intended -, if it can be found back in Blighty.

*trundles in on her way to wo*k*

something alcoholic and strong which will render me able to look awake but not actually be awake please.

My pleasure. Try this: c\__/ .. but don't ask what's in it 'til afterwards. I'll explain how nearly black plus red adds up to green. Trust me, I've just had one and hjj;erg dsuyfapoh !!!

FC - couldn't be better - just stay here and witness what happens next. I've got kitty's bowl and some cream, and I'm just going to pop down into the cellar. If I'm not back in 10 minutes, tell MK I died trying.

Dearest FC, please tell MK, when next you see him, what I just did.
Right now I'll have a large scotch to go with your white russian, and we'll sit here 'til your work beckons

*Kitty has followed Kes up the stairs, disgruntled that Kes dared enter Kitty's realm without the correct appeasements... he looms behind Kes, baring his teeth, his warm breath fanning Kes' neck*
