Will do... and mrs starkers said she'll do the catering for the 'reception'.  Oh, and she wants to know how everybody has their curried cabbage. Now that could be a lethal concoction... Tooheys Red and curried cabbage together.

I put VB in some gravy once with sausages, it wasn't bad at all!

Beer in stews is awesome especially Flemish Carbonnade and over BBQ meat too or in marinades.

Ausvet, they sell beer-batter chips in Coles now

Cool, my uncle always made his batter for fish that way and it is awesome.

Harry Ramsden fish shops make it too and available in their freezer range too.

Sweet, I guess we can say we LOVE BEER

I gave up drinking 7 years ago... but this Xmas I'm going to have a few shandies with a bit of XXXX in 'em.  Too damned hot for Tetleys... so shandy it is.  But yeah, I always loved my beer... a little too much sometimes, and I'd go through a carton of 30 x 375 ml cans a night to myself... and still be able to walk a straight line.  However, the cost became prohibitive and I had to quit so that we could afford things like PC's and etc.

I'm guilty of that too starkers, I've layed off a lot.. haven't been drunk in ages, whoa.. seriously

Shandies hehe, 4x and lemonade LOL

Victoria used to have a soft drink called 6 o'clock lager - a beer shandy flavour but able to be sold to kids. Back then pubs closed at 6 pm, way back in the 60s.

Yup...shandies!!  It's a case of not wanting to get back into it again... I'll have a few shandies over the holidays and then I'll stop 'til next Xmas.  I suppose this year is a bit different in that we have my daughter and her partner staying with us, and they like to have a few beers so I'm doing it to be sociable as well as quench my thirst... we've been having some pretty hot days lately and they'll go down a treat, as compared to cups of tea.

Fair enough starkers, booze is no good for you anyway, I got sick of having to ask folks what I did the night before all the time, I was always a day behind in my own life

Ahh kinda strayed OT for a while there, but here is the absolute love of my life.. always and forever.. Al

Never had that problem... I could always remember the next morning if I made a proper pratt of myself the night before , such was my propensity to consume copious amounts of alcohol and not get falling down drunk.  There was a time when I could knock off a 40 oz bottle of Jack Daniels and go looking for more.... nowadays, though, I'd get intoxicated just smelling the cork.

hehe I know what that's like

Hey starkers, for us in AU, it's Xmas in just a little over 3 hours, I haven't even put a tree up

Are you going to stay up and listen for reindeer on your roof?

I've left some bait out for them, and got that bear trap in the chimney

Just on 4 hours for us here in Queensland... and tonight the son-in-law and I have to assemble a trampoline so it's ready for the grandkids in the morning... me thinks there might be a few cuss words flying around here tonight, as we struggle to get the springs fitted properly.

Nah!  If you've heard one hoof on the roof you've heard 'em all... tho if Mary Christmas is accompanying Santa this year, I'll go out and offer her milk and cookies.

This her?

I believe it was more along the lines (or curves...ahem!) of Sondra Fortunato:

EGADS, she must have tiny feet, always being in the shade, never having a chance to grow

Is he ur husband?

Oh man, I WISH!!

That's Al Pacino dude! Tony Montana, Carlito, TEH sexiest man in the world!!!

.....I think its me.....

Yup, she's the one I got the milk and cookies set aside for.... 

And she's the one I got a few bottles of champagne and a string bikini set aside for.

Let's just say that I'm glad you only think it... you'd be impossible if you had evidence to support it.

I had just started to think it since last saturday night Mrs Starkers said me that I am the sexiest.....

Saturday Funnies

 Sure it is, we know you eat them starkers 

Ah, so that's where she got the extra money....

You realise, of course, it doesn't coun't if you paid for it.  

HA!

 *Mrs Doubtfire voice here folks* You wicked wicked man!

Mrs starkers gonna whack you with a wet fish!

Wet fish?.. is there any other kind
