    Aussies drink a lot of beer but none of it is fosters. I do not know anybody that drinks fosters, and if they did they would not admit it.
    Little Creatures (very nice) if i can get it, Carlton Draught otherwise - Tooheys New in a pinch.

          Fosters is nice beer, but VB and Carlton Draught are the two most popular Aussie beers (from my experience anyway)

          I'm Australian.

            I'm an Aussie, but I feel like a bit of a traitor, but when I drink beer, it's usually Becks, Heineken, or Stella. (I don't drink very much at the prices of those).
            Rudi what are you doing in RSA, I thought all the South AFricans had moved over here now.

                I was Aussie for a day once. Drove my co-workers crazy saying, "G-day mate" to them all day. They got their revenge on me for the next week playing practical jokes on me. "How's the weather down under?" they'd say when they got me. I never did that again. LOL

                  Not me, mate. My name ain't Bruce.

                  Although my favourite joke is the one about aussie beer being like making love in a canoe.

                    I'm a fair dinkum dead set Australian, a banana bender.

                    Hoop snakes will get you, drop bears will kill you, no dingoes ate any of my kids and no Aussies drink Fosters. They are not called "shrimp" they are called prawns. No we dont have roos all over the streets.

                          Banana bender? That's a Google image search that I'm certainly not gonna attempt at work.

                                Yeah...me too. LOL. I wonder how many Aussie's try an American accent to irritate their co-workers. Remember, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."
