Hey ppls,
If anyone knows where I can get my hands on some longneck bottles in Canberra, let me know...apparently no-one in Canberra drinks longnecks...trust me, many trips to the recylcing depots has been unfruitful...hmmm maybe I should have been looking for bottles, not fruit!

if you want free tallies, put a wanted ad in the local supermarket.
IT NEVER FAILS......
there are so many 'retired pensioner/brewers' who literally have sheds full of the bloody things, who will give them away for free just to stop the Old Girl nagging them to death....
my last haul i got 5 doz, in milk crates.
i've got so many now just from garage sales and strategically placed wanted ads that i'm going to dump some.
you'll tripping over them within a week. Guaranteed.
yard.
