My mates refer to VB as Vomit Bottles. And as far as i'm concerned, all beer tastes disgusting, so i'll agree with them.

Does anyone in Australia actually drink Forsters, or do we just send it overseas to poison unweary foreigners?

Fosters is that much crap I thought we only made it to export

VB is the work of the Devil.

Nay, the brew of the south has life in its waters!

And both now owned by the Japanese if I'm not mistaken. Still, both damn good beers, though I tend to prefer a strong cider myself.

That's not right. Especially XXXX since the factory is visible from my office. I'll never look at it the same again

Considering we have four Brisbane Aussies in the room, we should have the brizvegas meetup

Isn't it because sunburned Brits look like pomegranates?

Also, what's the difference between a bloke and a chap?

One's a British term, the other is Australian.

I always thought that "pommy" was short for "pompous."

A "Bloke" is a male human. A "Chap" is a posh, rich, self-richous looser.

So a bloke would punch a chap. The chap would sue the bloke.

Essentially correct. The unfortunate reality is that "chaps" are breeding beyond any reasonable limit to control, outnumbering the beleaguered blokes who are fast becoming a dying breed - like the blood of Numenor, all but spent.
