I had more than a passing interest in motor racing growing up. My neigbour was quite famous (among enthusiasts anyway). He would regularly win his class in races and IIRC won bathurst in the 60’s a few times, once in a mini cooper.

When I was 17 i bought a shit box and was flabbergasted when he rattled off the Bathurst racing pedigree of my 1965 Cortina.

When I was in my teens he drove rally cars for the Holden Dealer Team and famously drove in the London to Sydney rally.

Edit: No he drove a citroen to Sydney and drove a Holden in the 1979 Round Australia Rally.

I remember going to the Opera House for the finish on one race anyway.

I got to meet Colin Bond, Ross Dunkerton and that Scottish guy Andrew Cowan. Probably some others but cant remember.

How the f**k do you drive from London to Sydney?

So, anything exciting happening in the Non Footy Chat Thread?

How's bitcoin thingymebobs doing these days??

I brewed an alcoholic lemonade the other month...came out at 7%...pretty refreshing...could've done with a bit more carbonation. I've also brewed an alcoholic sarsaparilla that's quite a nice little taste to it...a lovely little 4.4% kick to boot. Of course, plenty of beer being brewed too.

I predicted that large banks and IT companies will forge ahead with blockchain technologies and steer clear of crypto currencies on a FOMO wave created by some geek in his mums basement.

From what I can see Westpac are ahead of the race here and IBM globally.

I recall an Australian alcoholic lemonade called Two Dogs.

I assume that it was named after the joke.

A young Indian brave goes to his Chief to ask for advice. "Chief?" he asked. "How do you choose the names you give us?" The old man responds, "You see your friend there? I named him Soaring Eagle after the first thing that I saw when he was born. That goes for everyone I name. But you of all the braves should know this, Two Dogs f**king.

I believe it was, which is why we called our lemonade, Abdul's Goat....

A couple ran into Abdul and tell him that they have heard about him around town...Abdul responds..."Yes, I have done much around town. You see that mobile phone tower there? I installed that. But do they call me Abdul the Great Mobile Phone Tower Installer? No! I also built the Town Hall, but do they call me Abdul the Town Hall Builder?? No they do not. Look, do you see that field? I ploughed that field each year for 10 years...but do they regard me as Abdul the Best Plougher of the Field? They have not once ever. However, I shag one goat....

Twenty-five full-time staff at Brisbane's XXXX brewery could be made redundant in what the workers' union has described as "a sad day for Queensland".

The brewery owner, Lion, said the proposed redundancies will be across a range of roles and equate to almost one-sixth of the brewery's workforce being lost.

"In order to remain competitive in the marketplace against a backdrop of a range of cost pressures,
a reduction in volume within our brewery network, and the continued decline in the mainstream
beer market, we are proposing to reduce the number of shifts at the Milton brewery, which may
result in 25 full-time roles being made redundant," a Lion spokesman said.

"We acknowledge that we are in the midst of negotiations towards a new enterprise agreement,
however, these proposed changes are separate to those negotiations and reflect external market
conditions.

"While XXXX is the best-performing mainstream beer brand in Australia over recent years, and XXXX Gold remains the most popular beer brand in both Queensland and Australia, in today’s market, no brewery is immune from the need to be competitive.

Yeh, that and 100-odd years of relative protection from competition.

Mind you, a significant proportion of craft beers are owned by the big guys these days
