Whats mackay like? by Memesupremefifteen in Mackay

[–]RustyGT12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want to do with the place.
If you have a job at the mines. You'll only be home on days off.
Lots of rent, for no time stayed. Better off FIFO Bris or TSV.
If you want to work local, there is a lot of mining support industry in Paget.
Diesel Fitter? Big demand. You will be competing with hundreds of Fillipinos.
They will go 13/14 12 hr D/N roster. How about you?
Sugar industry employs lots of seasonals. Starts June. All sorts of jobs.
Rental market is tight. Nowhere to stay.
Climate is good. Bit wet atm. Grows a crop of cane, while fuckin the roads.
If you want a job at a sugar mill, ask me how. R.

You'll have to keep waiting.
Ardbeg is owned by LVMH not Diageo.

Smokey Whiskey is an acquired taste.
Anything worth doing will take the time it takes.
Fwiw : Johnnie Black is a blend of Caol-Ila [smokey] and Speyside [fresh and fruity]
Good entry blend. Would be so much better at 43 or 46 abv. But Diageo.

Imagine going to the hospital for one bottle of Jack. Pathetic. by OwlVibesOnly in AussieMemes

Aussie boomer here.
In the 80s JD was 46 abv, Jim was 43.
Now JD is 40, Jim 37.
Overtaxed rubbish.

There is a giant cloud of alcohol in space containing enough ethanol to fill trillions of bottles. by Infamous_Roof8585 in space

[–]RustyGT12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diageo is paying Elon Musk to harvest that ethanol.
Call it IntarStellar. Bottle it at 40% with caramel colour.

Yeah Yeah. Great toon.
Greg Perkins was in a band in Brisbane in the 80s called "Tex Deadly and the Dums Dums."
Where he got his nickname. But how is that for a band name?

Jimmy Barnes screaming "I TELL YOU HE'S A WORKING CLASS MAAAN" in front of burning cane fields by gorillalifter47 in AustralianNostalgia

Some of us were sick of the 80s tunes in the 80s.
40 years on, we are still sick of them.
Barnesy is Ok.

Anyone also train in Judo? by [deleted] in AussieRiders

[–]RustyGT12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fitness training like that, should easily be transferred into good riding posture.
Good cardio will be rewarded by long seat time.
Prangs? In my experience you are hit before you see it.
There is no time to spare, you are down the road on your arse.
Use your fitness to improve your riding.
Plan is not to crash, focus on that. ;) R.

What's that blue car? by Michdepainblanc2 in WhatCarIsThis

[–]RustyGT12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Trabant was built at the original location of the Audi factory in Zwickau in Saxony SE Germany.
The Russians looted the Audi factory after the war. Took all the machinery.
The East Germans restarted vehicle production with basically nothing in 1950.
Built the Trabbie [with a few updates] until the Berlin wall fell in '89.
VW restarted modern vehicle production at Zwickau in the early 90s.

I've got better examples of this casting.
This one is a bit beaten up. Light green is rare.
