Hi Guys,
Good show again ! You guys should really check the route of getting some beer company sponsoring you. Seems like you mentioned another Belgian Beer this time.
The Triple Karmeliet is a bit stronger than the Hoegaarden. I believe Triple Karmeliet is already 8% ABV.
The Kasteelbier (Castle Beer if you translate it into English) is even stronger than that (10% or even 11% for the dark one). I really like that beer, it’s rather sweet tasting. (more info on Kasteelbier at http://www.vanhonsebrouck.be/ sadly only in Dutch / French and Flash Based)
I’ll try to get you guys another beer suggestion next time :-)
Regards,
Stefaan

Dave – you must visit the Belgian Beer Cafe when you come to Sydney. The do a beer passport so you can get a stamp every time you try one of their 50 or so beers!

I dunno guys, up here in Canada we don’t go around sticking our fingers up animal’s backsides when we want to get their attention. Maybe that’s how you do it down there in Aus, but…
Up here in Canada if we want a couple of dogs to stop fighting, we just chuck a bucket of water over them and wait until they freeze solid… then it’s much easier to separate them, isn’t it?
Yeah… carry on. I know you will.

Oh, by the way, the YouTube link I put in the last show was for the Aussie version of “I’ve Been Everywhere”… not what Dave said.
You’ll laugh at a cursing mechanical parrot, but you give them a good parody song written by a couple Canadian blokes and you get nothin! Nothin!
Sheesh.

hi good show, but I will unsubscribe because I’m to young to listen to so much profanity. So long, Frank

@Frank well mate sorry to see you go. But then this is not a young person’s show. I make no apologies for that. But come back once you think your old enough. (Hope your Dad did not catch you ;))
The rest of you – awesome stuff and a great show I agree – laughed my head off – seriously!
If anyone can land us a beer sponsor then great. Otherwise I am not sure they would take us seriously! But seriously, we would LOVE a beer sponsor- they just need to realize how good it would be for them.
Thanks also for all the great tweeting and promotion from you folk! That’s what we need, we don’t have an advertising budget! That’s you lot so keep it up :)
