Innovative and sometimes controversial marketing campaigns have kept it as the number one selling soft drink in Scotland, where it competes directly with global brands such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

Im inpressed by ths Irn Bru. Can you get it in Egland?

Haha, was founded cause the Scottish were getting too pissed at the Steel works and dying so they needed a substitute. Irn Bru (Iron Brew) was born.

Lovin this drink already.

Wonder if the UK shop in town has it.

So, the Socceroos.

We're shit and we know it, shit and we know it, shit and we know it....

Mind it'll be fun singing "Have you played in the World Cup? Have you fuck!" when we're taking on the mighty Singapore at home for the next dozen years or so before we qualify for another World Cup. Of course I'm referring to the fact that after the Germany Generation go (presumably the 2014 World Cup will be their swansong), we will be embarrassingly shit until about 2030.

Alternatively we can go down what I like to call the English cricket route and naturalise a whole heap of East African refugee's that we've taken in. Not sure if they'll be any good, though.

In the state of Queensland, Australia, it is still constitutional law that all pubs, hotels and bars must have a railing outside for patrons to tie up their horse.

is it so?

I wouldn't be surprised. Queenslanders live 2 centuries in the past. They don't even use daylight savings because, and I quote here from a guy from Queensland who phoned in to a radio show, "The cows won't know when to wake up".

Spike is a Queenslander, he would know.

I have heard that before, but the last time I went to Queensland I was only 17 so I didn't visit any pubs to confirm.

you were only 17 and now you're what, 18? :lol: that's a long time

E: damn, I missed the point of your post. sorry, now I understand.

Depends on who owns the pub. Some are anal about it, but some are more relaxed.

Surely you can enter, but not drink?

Not in Sydney, they have bouncers out front that check your ID. Unless you go down to some quiet suburban pub, even then I'm pretty sure they'll check your ID if you're just sitting there not ordering anything/when you order.
