    Lithgow News

    Australians are now being limited to 24 beers per day at sporting events.

    Would anyone like to challenge the Ozmanics to a sporting event postal shoot?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I find this to be very cruel towards the average aussie sports fan! Let's look at a few facts.....

    1) Winter sports, eg the various football codes, usually have a game time length of about ninety minutes. Take in introductions, half time break and presentation and you are looking at perhaps two hours. Now bear in mind that these are winter sports, and the average punter would drink less/ slower in the colder months.
    2) Summer sports, eg cricket, regardless of if it's a one day game or a test match and you would be looking at over six hours in the scorching aussie summer sun.

    Working on 24 beers for the timeframe, thats five minutes per drink at the football in winter (acceptable) but in summer at the cricket it blows out to a whopping fifteen minutes between re-charges. I think the international human rights commission ought to be informed about this!

    Hi Ed,

    That gives me a great idea. Aussis( dont wanna offend anybody) and Bavarians (here called "Seppel´s") are very similar in their drinking habits, so lets make a "Nations-Cup" ! The rules are easy, at first drinking of the small dose of 24 beers and then shoot on 100yards. After that the most important point: drink beer like adults do ! We should start asap , because we`ve been in our training camp at the "Oktoberfest" and we should use the advantage.
    Son, we would help you at that point with the human rights ! Free beer for free men!!!

    Regards

    Gunner
