Maca Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 My invasion day celebrations consisted of a barbie, a couple of games of cricket (I only spectated due to the next activity) and SHIT loads of beer with some cask wine thrown in for good measure, and because the cask is an Aussie invention. And I didn't even have a hangover the next morning..............because the hangover couldn't wait, by 10 that night I already had a shocking head ache. Quote

You had me a bit worried for a sec, was "the cask is an Aussie invention" just another of my made up statistics?

Shamelessly stolen from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_wine But the bloke was from South Australia so he is not a real Aussie, he is in the same category as kiwis, tassies and mexicans. Quote
