That Melbourne quake was 12 hours before todays little effort , , , at least your booze was safe monkey man,   
Kind of safe, just not for my consumption. But it did go to a good cause and some of my neighbors felt more after shocks than actually happened. Too bad it was damn cold, everyone stayed covered up. And no "At a Boys" for getting the gas turned back on either.... No good deed goes unpunished....
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

The more I know the Aussie folk, the more I think I was born in the wrong place. I really need to make the 2014 rally.

Was there beetroot?

edit: - the only way I could get a decent burger with beetroot in the States was to order a burger where they had a salad bar and hope like hell they had beetroot in the salad bar.
1, order a cheeseburger, with one over easy egg on the side. (Fried onions too if you can.)
2, pay for the salad bar option.
3, get the burger, stick the egg in it, (and fried onions if you can get them) and head for the salad bar, pick up some tomato, lettuce and beetroot and shove it in it.
4, sit, eat and enjoy a decent burger.

I guess I have to give it a try, I like Vegemite and real beer, maybe I am an Aussie and just got adopted to the USA.... Just can't figure out why I need a rear brake.... I love steak and prawns and anything I can put on the grill. Did I mention I like good beer..... Must be my Wombat DNA....Eats, Roots and Leaves.... :drinks:
