White stuff in Brisbane

Post by Tony »

Dogger and Thehipone were bantering about white stuff in Brisbane.

Well, we got plenty last night: http://www.couriermail.news.com.au/comm ... 52,00.html

Oh, and there is a beer connection:
Shaun O'Connor of Milton used the storm to carve a footpath snow angel and fill his esky.

"We thought we'd come and put the beer on ice. It's never tasted better," he said."

Nice,

Not really snow but.....

Saw a hail storm once, hail as big as eggs. No shit, never seen it that big before ever.

The car looked like someone had taken a hammer and gone nuts.

Yep, hate that hail

Here it is normally followed up with a tornado or, as you guys got, lightning bolts and rain.

There is another beer connection: the article mentions that the storm "damaged the Fourex brewery at Milton".
And who can any longer question the existance of God?

Forgot about that one, but I actually need them to stay open - they make stubbies for my brew.

Just need to find someone else to drink the original contents first. :)

PeterD, I myself have been a Fourex basher, but we must not criticise them too harshly if you are a Queenslander, as their GOLD has most probably been our first taste of beer most likely during a state of origen match (it was all my mates dad ever drunk and I grew to like the stuff on a hot Summers day, as my dad drinks rum, not beer the fool) I think XXXX has its place, just not in my fridge.

It's got it's place in the beer food chain. It's the foundation which holds all the good beers up to eye level 8)

You've obviously never been to an Australian ski resort. They try and pass off bare earth as a "light cover of softening snow".
That said, spring sking at Kosciusko over the Melbourne Cup weekend (first weekend in November for those unlucky enough to live outside Victoria) is almost better than ... well, sex *and* beer. Almost.

You would have to be a bloody mexican to think snow was as good as drinking and rooting!
