My wife calls it Vomit Breath.
But there's nothing wrong with missing crap things from time to time. I miss the real Reschs Pilsener. It too was a pretty gawdy excuse for a beer but they changed the recipe twice and made it worse each time !!!
At least a few pubs still stock Reschs DA. A nice crisp summers evening beer (or breakfast if you prefer)

I had a Carlton Dry the other night. Not too bad. That's like 4 beers this year now.

I learnt summint on the weekend: don't annoy Brett McGinty.
One our noblest riders held his ground, putting Brett into the grass. Nobody thought anything of it, except Brett who was a tad miffed (insert heated debate here).
In the wheelrace final he went past me like I was going backwards and I was doing est. 45kph. And still with 2 laps to go!!! Didn't even bother trying to latch onto the train. Apparrently he was still a bit edgy.

I would rate Vegemite as better than tripe and onions, but you are right that Marmite is superior.
VB is OK for quenching a thirst on a hot day, but if you want to enjoy a beer go for Coopers Sparkling Ale. The finest nectar produced in Australia.

Don't laugh, you should see how much cash bikes like old school Yetis go for on ebay.
Personally, I'd kill for an early 90's Yeti FRO in turquoise with purple annodised bits.
Call me weird
Speaking of which....wow.....that thread of my58vw's is pretty intense stuff. Not sure why s/he would want to post that kind of info on the internet - especially in a bike forum - but I hope s/he finds the support s/he needs. I know for sure that the 'Net has made finding kindred spirits a heck of a lot more easy. (Not to mention finding customers!).
On the beer front, I found the worlds greatest bottle'o last Monday. Up in Sassafras up in the Dandenongs there's a general store that doubles as the world's best repository of beer products - I sh¡t you not. They had beer I'd never even seen before, even in shops in town.
Current fave - Hargreaves Hill Pale Ale
