Yes. Gear goes on the lower level of the bus.

Is this Epstein situation getting stickier for DJT? The media I'm seeing is suggesting it is. Do Americans really care about that stuff? MTG seems like a dead set nutter to me but it isn't a good look for Don to have a team mate going against him.

I've used trains when I took my kids and a friend each to Europe for skiing a few years ago. Six of us plus baggage so a car wasn't really suitable. It was fine. A pleasure even. Paris to Bourg Saint Maurice needed a couple of changes. Bus up the hill to Tignes. Bus down the hill a week later...

Whilst I can appreciate different beer styles and their differences to the run of the mill lagers that most of the population drink I happily admit I can't tell the difference between a relatively cheap sparkling white wine and a very good one. I'm a little better on red wine as I have had more...

Fair enough. Perhaps @Tony Crocker could install a sarcasm font?

Ah. No. It is perhaps one of the worst beers that I have every tasted. That is why it is not sold in any volume whatsoever in Australia. The list below is indicative of the beer market in Oz despite it being from 2023. https://pubtic.com.au/australias-top-selling-beers-of-2023/ The Great...

To you. To a large portion of the population. If the only two options I had were Coors and Budwiser I would not drink beer. There is a reason why thousands of craft breweries sell millions of cans of beer that are not the 'cold and wet' type like the two you mentioned. The reason is a small...

Which is easy to do. You’ll get a modest self contained apartment on snow in a French resort for under 150USD per night at that time of year. Same goes for Italy. I’m going to challenge myself to average 150aud (about 100usd) per night when I go in March next year. I spend the savings on group...

That lager is breaking the stereotype @jamesdeluxe has labeled us with. 🙂

A quokka.

Went to Rottnest Island yesterday. Went for a bike ride. It’s very scenic and the beaches and water are beautiful. They’ve also got these little fellows. Too cute.

Not always. A Cherry Ripe and a good stout is a match made in heaven. Do you have Cherry Ripe in the USA?

In Busselton WA having a local brew. @Tony Crocker did you get to Margaret River and sample some of their renowned Cabernet when you were here?

If that is disappointing I’ll be impressed if I go in a disappointing year. It looks lovely to me. I had planned to visit this year but those plans were stymied by my dad having some medical issues. Won’t get there next year either as we’re going to Slovenia/Dolomites in late September for...

Oh no. That was a go to for me for quite a few visits between 2010 and 2020.

My mates that drink the commercial ‘cold and wet’ beer that is tasteless to me think I’m a weirdo.

You're a curmudgeon. I personally love IPAs and I find the adjectives helpful because the description means I can make a choice that suits my taste. The dumb names and silly graphics are dumb and silly but more amusing than anything. I drink a large array of beer styles but they are usually...

That looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

That’s a great story. Thanks for sharing.

That’s sad. Craft beer is one of life’s great pleasures. The grey lady is the NY Times?
