i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

@@utopia - my dd was a tomboy and didn't mind wearing her bro's handmedowns but I inherited clothes from the daughter of some friends of my parents- and yes - I think that was a form of child abuse
Luckily Gran took pity on me and made them over -
And @TAB - I was horribly disappointed in TV when it first arrived in Aus - talk about B&W - that's what it was - no 50 shades of grey - Bor-ing - and we didn't get it until I was 17 and I hardly watched it then - but in spite of that feel deprived
Enough grouching - Dad taught me to shoot - how many kids get a parent taking them out in the bush with several guns to learn to shoot rabbits for dinners? There would be people up in arms about that now
Hand-me-downs though - horrible clothes
