I got on the beers a bit last night and have been home all day trying to learn songs on guitar at the request of some mates who wanna start a band, one of which is the most Aussie of Aussie bands, the vanguard of Yob Rock and, strangely enough, a massive influence on the Seattle grunge scene in the early 90's, they're all top blokes and they're still kicking on in their 50's enjoying a huge resurgence in popularity, having made some of their best and funnest tunes yet.

It should be noted that Cosmic Psychos saw someone wearing one of their shirts at a Nazi rally and told them to gently caress off, destroy the shirt and never come to a gig again. They're ok.

Aardvark! posted:this lead me down a path in which i learned that some australians call them "bush chooks"  Emus are fantastic, they'll eat anything you hand it and can grow to 6'2 in height. I once had a couple of dates with a shiela who had one as a pet, it was like a giant puppy. very excitable and mischievous and required a tracker hung around its neck like a fashion accessory as he was liable to jump the gate and go exploring other yards. Also made a lot of weird sounds. Emus have a relative we don't talk about as much because they're bastards, the Cassowary. These vicious jerks are a cross between a chicken and a velociraptor. quote:"The inner or second of the three toes is fitted with a long, straight, murderous nail which can sever an arm or eviscerate an abdomen with ease. There are many records of natives being killed by this bird."  Other poo poo birds of Australia include: The Brush Turkey which have taken to invading suburban backyards, cleaning up the lawns and paths to create a giant nesting mound.  The Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo which "are considered the most intelligent of parrots by pet enthusiasts. They have the learning capacity of a 1 to 2-year-old human child and they are capable of being taught to speak words and phrases." and has a set of bolt cutters for a beak, which they use to tear apart buildings, park benches and cars. They hang out in small to large gangs of cute feathered vandals and their screech can give you tinnitus.  The Australian Magpie is a bi-polar wanker who can be trained to be friendly to humans even as a wild animal but will try kill EVERYONE during nesting season. Seriously, they will gently caress you up.  The Australian White Ibis, colloquially known as the "Bin Chicken" or "Dumpchook" have lately become a nuisance in Sydney as habitat destruction has driven them into suburban areas where they paint sidewalks with enormous amounts of poo poo, spread the contents of council bins everywhere and generally loving smell terrible. Seriously, they smell BAD.  gently caress birds. Maximum Sexy Pigeon fucked around with this message at 08:47 on May 26, 2021 |

I lived in a place that had easily 6 scrub turkeys in the back yard constantly fighting The people there named a particularly cocky one "Roger" and now me and my partner call all scrub turkey "Roger" or "Rogette" or "Rogina" It had a baby recently and it's rather adorable Classic hasn't grown into its body look, and extremely cocky Roger has this classic move where it will be scratching the compost pile, see you see him, stop dead still ... *Beat* Maintain eye contact and keep scratching the grass I doo have to chase him away because he fucks up my vegetable garden at times  Roger is only a small portion of the birds and wildlife in my backyard    There is even a hawk that eyes up my quails at times, haven't got a photo of him yet EDIT: 5 minutes ago Little possum  And for further reference, I live a 5-10 minute drive from the city center Jestery fucked around with this message at 10:37 on May 26, 2021 |

Dump of everything Australia I have on my phone Wildlife:         Cool bug I found chilling out on the wheelie bin  This cheeky oval office was just hanging out by the front door one day. Opened the door at this was staring me straight in the face. If I hadn't been paying attention I would have walked face first into him. Just another day in Australia.  Possum skull.  Food:  A classic Australian lunch  On election days, sausages on bread are sold at almost every polling location across the country. If you hear an Australian talk about 'democracy snags', this is what they are talking about. Note the onion on top of the sausage. They're not allowed to do that any more because they might fall off and create a slipping hazard. Really.  A kebab and a dart is the perfect way to wrap up a big night on the piss.  Big rear end burger I got up in Palmwoods on the Sunny Coast Locations: Brisbane, QLD:  Sunshine Coast hinterland, QLD   Ettalong, NSW  Sydney's alright too I suppose.    We also have cracking sunsets on occasion.  Brisbane    Tangalooma, Moreton Island, QLD Other random poo poo:  Nangs   Plumbers are among the highest paid professions in the country,as evidenced by the bling van   It is custom in Australia to burn a couch on birthdays, at weddings, when moving into a new house or basically any other social function you can think of.   Commemorating that one time I dropped me ciggie butt and it landed upright.

Code Jockey posted:What's cost of living like in Sydney / Melbourne / Brisbane? loving shithouse/Decent/Okay Basically, depends what you want, if you like a warmer climate, a decent music scene, lots of wildlife, humidity, thunderstorms and hills, move to Brisbane. If you like colder weather, a decent music scene, lots of rain, trams, very few hills, pretentious coffees, move to Melbourne. If you like cold winters and bullshit summers, unaffordable housing, unreliable transport, a constantly knee-capped music scene, shithouse roads, awful traffic, tourist traps, corruption, misery, cockroaches and poorly constructed houses that leak, join us in Sydney and dream of moving to either Melbourne or Brisbane. Bonus alternatives: Adelaide: Small but charming, desolately dry, only a little backwards, great fishing, cheap as. Perth: Basically doing its own thing, seems ok but keeps to itself, quietly successful, too far away from anything, great beaches, poo poo beer prices. Darwin: 35 degrees every day, a storm at 5pm on the dot, never wear long pants again. Canberra: Roundabouts and Parliament House. Suppose that's it. has some pretty decent laws though, I think. Hobart: Freezing, small, trying to pull itself into the 21st century from the city centre outwards, fantastic place to chill and explore (If you're white)

City comparisons aside, you can judge cities by their famous beers, but only if you stick to commercial ones. Sydney: Toohey's New: Basic Lager - Pretty poo poo. Toohey's Old: Dark Ale - Barely ok. Toohey's Extra Dry: Dry Lager - Still poo poo Resche's: Pilsner - Not entirely undrinkable. Brisbane Castlemaine XXXX Gold: Mid-Strength Lager - Piss. Castlemaine XXXX Bitter: Pale Lager - Decent (I can't find it in NSW wales anymore and it's a guilty pleasure whenever I visit QLD because everyone assures me it is poo poo and I just don't understand why) Darwin NT Draught: Lager - Awful Perth Emu Bitter: Lager - Disgusting Emu Export: EU Lager - Revolting Swan Lager: Lager - Probably terrible Adelaide Cooper's "Green": Pale Ale - Great Cooper's "Red": Sparkling Ale - Pretty good West End Draught: Lager - Swill Hobart Cascade Draught: Lager - Very drinkable Cascade Premium: Lager - Very drinkable Melbourne Victoria Bitter: Lager - Attrocious (Most popular beer in Australia) Carlton Draught: Lager - Woeful Melbourne Bitter: Lager - Shithouse, popular with hipsters (Australia's PBR) Foster's Lager: Lager - Crap. Australian's don't actually like this as much as the ads claim. That said, the surge of microbreweries in Australia in the last 15 years means you can find ANYTHING to taste. So you don't have to drink any of these.

Seppos only know of Cooper's if they homebrew. Beyond that it's Foster's and maybe VB, and I'd take VB over Foster's any day. Also a slab is a far better term than a case of beer, and skulling is a better term than pounding a drink. How popular is homebrewing since a slab costs the same as a mortgage payment?

Bill Posters posted:In particular I think this has exposed just how average Coopers is. It's still head and shoulders above the others though. Absolutely, but I was comparing them in the commercial realm, not the microbrew realm. There are far too many fantastic beers to list from there, but I have found myself sticking to Young Henry's "Newtowner" Pale Ale. I can drink 2 six-packs of them and not have a hangover (So long as I have eaten) but I also contribute that to not smoking ciggies anymore.
