Here's a sample Foster's commercial as seen here in the U.S....Enjoy. I didn't know it wasn't true still I started hanging out here...

Actually settled by Vikings, who obviously didn't care much for the place.

Actually, there were these people here who walked a long way over a land bridge from what we call Siberia, (probably from asia first) and they set up shop first....we just "discovered" it later....you guys stole your land and displaced some indigenous people too if I have heard right.

No... that is just another Jewish lie like the Holocaust. Captain Cook was there first. The aboriginal people swam over from Papua New Guinea when they heard there was a party going on.

In reply to the OP, if you have to endure summers as bad as ours then it is no surprise that you become good at cycling indoors

What is this thread about anyway?
Our commercially grown tomatoes are anaemic looking tasteless lumps of pap bred to withstand the rigours of long-distance transport. A home grown tomato, picked off the vine still warm from the sun, with a sprinkling of salt ....... ambrosia.
