trularin, firstly you must understand that the further south from the Queensland border you go the less believable are the residents. They are a mislead mob prone to making gross rash statements. You might note that Mr. LoBelly hails from Victoria and that's wayyyyyy down south.
BMK used the words "south" and "bib and brace overalls" and those terms clearly describe the Victorian folk.
You'll note the over-engineered bull bar on the front of the blue ute. It is a Victorian registered ute. The reason for the heavy bar is that in the city any motorist turning right from a dual lane road must do so only from the left lane. So the bar helps in "moving aside" those motorists in the lane next to you.
It is also handy for protecting the ute from all those passengers who disembark from their trams right into the path of on-comming traffic.
Now, to give you the good
oil on Bundy Rum and XXXX. Mr. LoBelly is correct in saying the Bundy is derived from the locally grown sugar cane. However it is a smooth full bodied rum that is, not only appreciated by Rum connoisseurs but also has proven medical properties. During the war diggers on the Kokoda trail used it as a repellant against malaria carrying mosquitos. It was also excellent to pour over their feet as a treatment for althletes foot. Surgeons used it in the operating theatre, not only as a anesthetic but also as an excellent anticeptic.
Of more modern times it is, as Mr. LoBelly said, sometimes mixed with coke but only to dilute the effects of the stuff. If it is taken straight with maybe the odd block of ice, then Victorian ladies tend to appear more attractive after no more than 2 glasses. Taken with coke the effects take a little longer to eventuate which gives the NSW ladies half a chance. Should it not be for Bundy Rum the "ladies" of Victoria and NSW would remain spinsters.
Now to XXXX, the nectar of the gods. Again Mr. LoBody has stretched the truth. Indeed it was moved from Victoria after 12 months but only because of the before mentioned condition of their rivers. An essential ingredient of a good beer is clean water. How do you draw water from mud?.
What the Victorians have done to supplement their shortage of water for brewing is to round up all the stray cats. They then train these cats to sit on those little bottles on the production line. What spills is then put into aluminium cans.
So there it is Trularin, believe who you want but before you believe any story told by an Australian I suggest you check from what State that person originates.
