    Just got up - it's Australia Day. Forecast is 41 deg C. Got a carton of Miller's draft in the fridge - I know not patriotic but never tried it before. Tendulkar is at the crease, Federer is to play Nadal. Some T-bones ready for the barbecue. Life is tough.

      Mostly it's the other way around. Wimbeldon, French Open etc, etc.

        I quite agree. Miller Natural Lite is acceptable on a very hot day, if all you really wanted was a glass of water, but the regular product is to be avoided at all costs! I'm currently sucking on a six-pack of Fat Tire from the New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, CO, USA, a company I recommend. The brewery is entirely self-sufficient, producing power from renewable sources, including using the beer sludge to make methane for heating, rather than wasting it on that other sludge, Vegemite. After one year of service, every employee is awarded a bicycle, and encouraged to pedal to work, instead of driving a dinosaur dung-powered behemoth. As a bonus, the beer is excellent, though I can find only one of their rather broad product line in Bullhead City.

        Will Rogers never met me.

          Miller beer is the cat's piss. Drink Foster. If no alcoholic beverages are available at the local bottle-o, get some Bundaberg ginger ale!

            Only the first part was serious. For the rest, I know. But looking at the snow and ice out my window my grumpy old man nature could not resist finding something negative to say to a guy on a summer day off. I wish the match was the final (weekend) so I could justify staying up to watch, but oh welll. I know I'm on the good side timezone wise most of the time, I was kiding.

                  So that's what Bob is holding. A Miller draft in one hand and peanut butter in the other. I would have never guessed you crazy Australians like Miller draft and peanut butter. You can certainly have all of mine.

                      I can confirm that Fat Tire is acceptable, regardless of it's quaint colonial spelling.

                        Painters, musicians, and bunch of other artists perform well under the influence of alcohol, programmers do not. Ergo, programming is not art. :rolleyes:

                          I totally disagree with that statement. I've done some awesome programming after a couple of reds. Awesome stuff. I just wish I knew who it was who keeps messing it up after I hit the sack. Each morning after a bout my masterpieces are ruined by this inconsiderate slob.

                            How can you have even been considering Miller when you could be drinking Little Creatures or Coopers? Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. - Albert Einstein

                              Yes agreed on both counts. I drink plenty of each but the Millers was a good deal and I am curious. I have a mate who has never ever drank anything but Emu Export in 50 years and honestly I am not trying to follow his example.

                                  I would rather have no beer at all than have to drink Miller.
