Yes, we had an Aussie worked for us that would literally drink until either you ran out of beer or he fell over on his head and by the same token we had Australians that never, at least on the job, touched a drop. In fact a close friend is out to the pub every evening for a natter with his mates and drinks one "stubbie" every evening. Says he'd look cheap if he asked for a glass of water :-) Tell him to ask for dry ginger ales. In Queensland, they want to know what "that strong stuff you are drinking" Err, which "stubby". The down south stubby or the darwin stubby. Actually it is a "Thai" stubby :-) -- cheers, John B. |

After all that is what Crocodile Dundee was... Aren't all Australians like that :-? -- cheers, John B. |
