In England its brewed under licence. The alcohol percentage is cut to 3.5%
(normally nearly 5%) which significantly dilutes the taste. The English
just don't know how to make lager (as opposed to bitter). However there
are heaps of really good lagers available here that are brewed in Europe.
For a time it was even possible to get Redback here in Cambridge but the
supply seems to have dried up despite me badgering the bottle shop on a 
regular basis. Now there is a beer amongst beers. To all you people 
out there in net land, sell your houses and buy a ticket to Australia.
It would be worth it just to be able to drink a Redback every day.

G'day all,
 
Before I run all over town wasting my time, I thought I'd let you
guys do it for me. [Only joking]
 
What I am trying to do is get hold of some regional papers here in
Melbourne, particularly those from Geelong/Ballarat/Bendigo etc..
 
I would only be looking at getting the papers on the Wednesday &
Saturday which traditionally has more news, comments et al. The
rest of the days of the week are generally a waste of time (and
money).
 
Any suggestions???

Regards,
Mark.

I have been trying to get to vote for the upcoming W.A.elections,
however one would almost think that the government didn't
want people out of AUS to vote.. (hmm might they think less of the W.A. inc.
or more?)

Anyhow I've finally worked it out..

The Aus consulates know nothing about it and told me they think I can't
vote because they haven't been sent any 'kits'.

you have to contact the W.A.Tourist commision office in 
the US (and london I assume too).

In the US it's in L.A. (somewhere in the 310 area code..I forget the number).
I got their number from enquiries under
"Western Australian Tourist <mumble>"

They will mail the forms out to you and you have to
have the returned forms postmarked by the 2nd of Feb.

They've only just got the forms and stuff in so you're not too late.

I suggested to them that they contact the consulates and let them know
what the picture is...
They were surprised to learn that the consulates couldn't help.

Someone in W.A. care to let the West Australian know about this little snafu?

It was 1975 Whitlam was unjustifly sacked, where he had to win three election in

Hate to be a pedant, he didn't want to be turned into one. I have a

I agree with you, Daniel, especially in this day and age where it is becoming

My siblings and I, for example, our mother is of Spanish/Irish descent, our

We did the same thing (left the pets behind) when we moved over to the USA.
We didn't want the hassles when we move back to Oz.

Not only is it 9 months quarantine (yes 6 in Hawaii and 3 in Australia), but
only some cities do quarantine (Brisbane is *not* one of them, Sydney is,
and I think Melbourne is one too). You did leave out one very pertinent detail
in your response though, Charles. 

For the duration of having your pets locked up in a cage (which I wouldn't 
have subjected my animals to anyway), *you* have to pay the kennel fees for the
entire 9 months. A nice expensive proposition.

Going the other way, however, the US will let you bring animals in from 
Australia.

This is all as Australian Customs/Quarantine told me in May, 1992.

Excuse me for butting in with a comment that has nothing to do with
Australia in particular:  

I don't understand how some countries can allow dual citizenships.  
Citizenship, to me, implies certain loyalties, in the extreme case 
a duty to carry arms to defend the country.  What if the two countries 
of a dual citizen have a conflict?  It doesn't have to be military.  
OK, you say, but dual citizenship between allies is OK.  Well, allies 
change with time, and two countries, which are allies in one respect, 
may well have a conflict in another.  Also, for one country to draw
up a list of acceptable partners in dual citizenship must be a
somewhat delicate matter in some cases.

Coopers  <---- greatest brew to grace the fair palate of the people.
Even the advertising campaign is a masterpiece: `Coopers, cloudy but fine'.
And the brewery makes a sensational home-brew starter pack that has 
produced many a fine afternoon/evening over a few sangers (and i've
even found a supplier for the home brew kits in the UK - arrrh there
is a god in this god-forsaken place).

But how Coopers have grown in the last few years, from barely
available outside Adelaide, then nationally, and now i can slip down
to the local bottle'o (or offie as they call them here) and pick up a
case of the real thing for a quid a throw (stinging fingers but
tingling throat :-). ). How Thomas and Alice Cooper (no relation to
aka daka!) would turn in their graves, and how the people now rejoice.

Happy drinking people,
fatman.

	Somewhat to my regret, this whole thread has reminded me
irresistibly [hence this post] of Hans Carvel's ring.

	Briefly, HC sold his soul to Satan in return for a guarantee
of his wife's fidelity.  Satan promised that when HC awoke, he would
be wearing a ring, which would produce the desired result for as long
as it was worn.  Of course, when he awoke, he found himself delicately
placed vis-a-vis his wife.

	The story goes that Anatole France's election to the Academie
Francaise was blocked by some bof;  in due course, AF was elected
anyway, and found himself sitting next to the bof while the Academy
was debating the meaning of "ring".  The bof nodded off as the others
droned on, and was awoken by AF saying "They have forgotten the Ring
of Hans Carvel".  Instantly awake, he jumped to his feet, shouting
"You have forgotten the Ring of Hans Carvel -- I *insist* that you
include the Ring of Hans Carvel."  The surprised academicians started
to laugh, and the bof realised his mistake, turned very red and fled
