I think if he gets the right ear pieces he should be ok?

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I'm not sure, I remember he released a statement a few weeks after the diagnosis that he didn't need to quit if he followed doctors orders so it could be as simple as some ear plugs of some sort.

 

[redfly]

I remember he was all excited about some new in ear something lol

 

[Slammed]

Yeah I seem to remember something like that, I also seem to remember him saying there was no reason to AC/DC to replace him permanently.

Are you up early or up extra late? Isn't it some stupid hour of the morning over there now?

 

[Neptune]

Neptune! what up
What year is that?

1984!

Hahaha, I don't know if I'm up late or early. My hours are so screwed up!

 

[redfly]

1984!

Wow!

 

[Slammed]

Hahaha, I don't know if I'm up late or early. My hours are so screwed up!

During the week I tell the time by whether I'm picking the kids up from school or dropping them off. During the weekend I tell time by the number of coffees I've had

 

[redfly]

Hahaha. Mmm coffee....Fosters makes a coffee?

 

[Slammed]

With the rise in micro brewerys and flavoured beer yeah they probably do
But no we aussies don't drink that shit, we export it to the world so we don't have to drink it.
Fosters has for about forty years been "Australia's number 1 beer" but I don't think it's every actually been the number 1 consumed beer in this country.

 

[redfly]

But the commercial says "Fosters. Australian For Beer"!!! Have I been lied to all these years?!

 

[Slammed]

Funny thing is that ad has never been used in Australia. In fact we don't even have Fosters ads here, the only time we see something with Fosters on it is at things like the F1GP or the Sueprbikes where Fosters has international contracts. All our internal sports are sponsored by other beers.

I think the only Aussies who actually drink Fosters as those who are overseas because they can't get the decent stuff

 

[Neptune]

Up the Aussies,not for nothing but I used to partake in those oil cans with pride back in the day!

aww shit! Back in the day Neptune nailing Fosters! Those cans are awesome!

 

[Slammed]

Imagine if you'd thought we all road kangaroos to school, hypnotised water buffalo and walked around saying "that's not a knife!"

 

[Slammed]

Don't know if America used to have steel beer cans but back in the 80's (and before), Fosters especially came in steel cans. We used to recycle aluminium cans but to get more in the bag we squashed them. Those steel cans were a real bastard to crush and they'd shoot out from under your foot like a rocket!

 

[Neptune]

 

[Slammed]

I don't think we've seen cans like that here for 30+ years. I'm sure aluminium replaced steel in the early 80's then there was a major advertising campaign in the late 80's that went something like "beer tastes better in glass" and people almost stopped buying cans and went back to the "stubbie" so much so stubbiie became a sought after trademark, but I don't think either company got the rights to it.

Both those names are still popular exports from two rival companies both now owned by the Japanese (I think). Tooheys is more widely drunk here than Fosters but both CUB (Fosters) and Nathan Lion (Tooheys) have multiple products that sell in much large numbers locally than what is exported.

Dude you really know your stuff!
