The Weekend Aussie BBQ , Vino, Fishing and Driving Thread...

I have a Chinese/American/Aussie ex doctor vegan friend who gave me these before she headed back to her second home in Huonville Tassie.
She tells me they're really yumbo:

They became trendy about 2 years ago - official 'office' bikkies (they're actually quite nice; a bit of cinnamon in them I think).

 

I'll post 'em to you.

 

Looking at the ingredients I recon they would taste like builders sand..Looks like one biscuit would absorb a long neck as well..

 

Bloody hell - talk about knocking something before you've tried it!

 

Spending Easter in Syros, half the Island is Catholic, the other Orthodox, so it’s a big deal this year as Easter will land on the same day for both the East and the West.Big crowd watching the Epitaphios procession (commemoration of the burial of Christ) Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

Looks like it's a big deal

 

It's Greece,they've nothing better to celebrate

 

When you bring your yacht back in the harbour here, do shift the spa to it and we can come by.

 

See that’s what happens when you stop reading when the Old Testament finishes. Good Friday is a day of mourning and reflection not celebration!!!

Party time is Easter Sunday, 40 day fast is broken and it’s lamb on the spit all round

By the way, I’m agnostic but I enjoy participating in the Easter Orthodox traditions that have remained unchanged for 2000 odd years now

 

Pffft you got nuthin' on our aborigines.....they've got 250,000 years of culcha.

 

Go invent the wheel

 

Fixed

 

Still gives me a kick

Yep Australian, Porsche driver, and interestingly was due in Court in Noosa on 15 April - don't know what for, but the 'list' was for arrest, remand, AND hearings for 'special licenses' for suspended drivers
Curiously too, it was also bloke called Towle (10 years or so older) who took out 6 people in Victoria some years ago.

 

In other news: The Bears are back! I can look forward to more years of self-flagellation thinking they could be competitive..

 

Keep dreaming
A good friend of mine is a big supporter.. that’s all we hear about in the 90s..

 

I dropped into BSM the other day to speak with German
He is firing on all 12 & as busy as a borrowed tractor !
