In my current effort to improve strained relations with Brother Greg, I thought I might offer a friendly little limerick.
It goes like this.

There's an Aussie lad named Brother Greg.
Who spent one day tapping a keg.
He turned to friend Yin,
with a delivilish grin,
"You made me so mad I'd break your leg!"

Yin and I have (hopefully) made up. He emailed me (more like wrote me a novel, to which I replied in kind ), and I think we're all mates now.
Just take the "+" out of the smilies. I'll give examples (remove spaces)

Opps. My fault, that.
But it's good to see you guys all getting alone. I wonder where Omnidude is?

BG,
Now that it's official that we have a real group hug, I want some AUSSIE BEAH!

Oh, man, you're worse than the Kiwis. It is pronounced Beeeeer, not BEAH.
Oh, Shining1, I can see how he'd prefer Aussie beers. After tasting American beers personally, sewer water would probably taste better, AND have a higher alcohol content.

So this debate has come to a friendly end at last, sigh. Inspiration by uncleroggy:
He called himself yin26
And he said that AC needs a fix
Brother Greg wondered why
Told him what he should try
In return he learned all of yin's tricks

Doctor D:
OUTSTANDING!

My only fear about NZ beer is that I could probably drink enough to terraform down your fine country. Where would it leave you if I did that?
uncleroggy out

Thank you very much uncleroggy.
Since the forum broke down yesterday I re-posted this one to "Tribute to Yin" (with altered last verse).

BG: Yanky Beer (shudder). Yes, I can see where he's coming from. And I'll admit, Tooheys does bring back some fond memories - 'Aussie' night in 94 - watching THE best game of rugby league I have ever see in my life - first match of State of Origin for that year, and drinking the sponsor's product for a bit of laugh. Went down quite well, actually.
Ah, happy times.
It's odd, though - a country that sells XXXX (the most honest beer title of all ) and VB alongside Tooheys and your collection of excellent wines. A divided society?
Hmm. Or maybe there is something in the idea that us Kiwis are more discerning (read: 'upyerselves') than Australians.

Uncleroggy: Nah, we're used to engineers in this country - you sound like you'd fit in no problems . And if all else fails we can just stick you on an offshore island for the duration of your stay...
