The Random Question of the Day Thread...

Just wondering if Im the only one to have gotten a few emails about some onyx friday sales on today??

like '$1000 off Sony 75" 4K TV + New Price Blitz Deals' - nice markup they must have !

what bargains did you pick up?

Our Husky and Deutscher H26 both have steel decks...

The Deutscher has been fully replaced over the years (ours is about 27 years old), mostly due to the grass acids and the odd stones completely destroying it.

Last time I priced a new deck it was cheaper to make a new one from better quality steel

I have a 48 year old Deutcher and it still has its original deck.  I also love the fact that I can ring the factory in Ballarat and still get parts for it!

If you took a Tuk Tuk,

Is that the Super Crisp, or Original? If it's the original it may be OK. But the Supercrisp is overpriced midstrength swill.

There's your problem. No beer that is drunk out of cans is any good. Glass stubbies all the way

I don't mind Fat Yak. But made the mistake of buying tins to take camping. They were awful. Worse than the creek water....

If it's not at a bar, it's all beer out of cans all the time for me.
I hate taking glass camping, a bottle or 2 of wine is the only exception.
But I've seen waaaaaaaaaay too much broken glass at camp sites to let myself be part of that problem.

If you drink cans at home, they're not such a shock when you go camping.

I will have to take your word for it Pete. Not sure I could make myself actually buy them for home

Yeah I don't need to impress anyone in my shed, so I save the beer snobbery for public places.
Then I only have craft beer from the most obscure breweries, like the rest of the cool kids these days....

Ha ha, every man and his dog has a different taste in beer... I used to drink Carlton Dry for yrs....recently changed to Great Northern Mid...same as I drink when at the club. Also lately been buying a few cartons of Coopers dry and also Asahi dry.  Whatever is on special each week.

Seems everyone is drinking Great Northern, so thought I'd give it a try,
BUT,
the Original [full strength] is not available in Vic, only the sub standard sh!t.

Its called Great Northern for a reason.... of course the southerners get the watered down version.

Its not rocket science ya know.

Same as XXXX, was the biggest selling beer in Australia......the mid strength......at least the Queenslanders had some decency and kept the full strength  slop to themselves..

Many years ago, I used to drink XXXX, but I still can't stomach the XXXX Gold.

every beer I drink, ends up  a craft beer.
