Ok, I preferred my helicopter story as my six degree story but I have also met Axl, Dizzy,Finck, Fortus, Tommy and Ron.  When I met Axl, Beta, Fernando, Vanessa and Bubbles were also standing there.  I saw Del James too but didn't bother to go over and speak to him.

I think I might have also seen Pitman but I wasn't too sure what the guy looked like so I didn't go up to him.

When I went to Svalbard - Longyearbyen (it's an archipeligo that's North of Norway in the Artic circle).  Anyhow, the guy we stayed with there flew the rescue helicopter (took us out in it too).  I got talking with him about GNR (as you do when you are on the piss) and he told me a story where he was supposed to fly the band to some concert venue (I can't recall where).  Anyhow, he was the co-pilot at the time, and the pilot refused to take the band when they arrived  because they were too wasted so they had to make other arrangements.  Apparently they were fucken angry so was the manager (presumably Goldstein).

I'm biased, we used to have two labs - they are awesome dogs!  Need to be trained a little (obviously they are very intelligent and easy to do) because they can be naughty.  But obvoiusly great family dogs and good with kids.  Yeah they shed a lot of hair particualrly in summer, just make sure your wife owns a good strong vacuum

I tend to lean towards drinking boutique beers or imported ones.  I like beer with lots of flavour, not like many of the cheap Aussie beers - which taste just like water and chemicals.  I can drink stuff like VB, Melbourne Bitter, Carlton Draught, Crown Lager but they don't have a lot of flavour IMO.  I'm also not a big fan of unleaded beer - I prefer full strength.

So who here out of the Aussies drinks Emu Export?     I drank that in the 80's (like most kids underage) BUT now it's just looked upon as "wife beater beer" I still laugh every time I see that in the shops.  I can't believe people still buy that shit!!!

Some of the local brewers here make some fucking greating tasting beers with some great tinges of flavour like, honey, chocolate, chilli etc etc.  Fortunately there seems to be a big trend towards more quality beers with even the major brewers now making more "boutique" style beers.

More mainstream Aussie beers I like are most of the Coopers stuff, Hahn Premium, Cascade, James Squire, Little Creatures, Toohey's Old. There are also some good summer style beers now that have lime infused in them like Barefoot Radler and other similar brands - they're fucken easy to drink.

Imported beers I like - well there's heaps.  I love most of the Belgium beers ones like Leffe etc.  They are really creamy and fucking high in alcohol too 7-10% at times!!  I like dark beers too, stouts etc.  So I drink Guiness etc.  Some of the stouts are great with a shot or two of Kahlua in too

When I am motivated I even brew my own beer.
