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

You heard the lady, barkeep...
I'll have something strong too, barkeep. A gorilla thanks. Make it an old silverback...

Aaaaah! Actually barkeep, I take that back. Better make it a monkey. They're not quite as strong...
[with thanks to The Goon Show episode Napoleon's Piano for inspiring that]

I haven't been in the beer garden for a few days and it's suddenly taken on a european vibe. I like it! It's so cold in Victoria at the moment that a mulled wine would hit the spot nicely. Barkeep?
@Silenus in a belated response to your question, you are very welcome to post about your childhood town. The anonymity requirement simply means not posting information that is identifying. Places from our childhood are very unlikely to do that

@NikNik, we have a robot bartender tonight. He's a good bloke with an encyclopedic knowledge of drinks and a special chip that lets him join in the merriment with us. Doesn't say much though. Mr robot bartender, I'll have some of your finest port!
