Stay a little longer for a Carlton Midstrength

Carlton & United Beverages (formerly Carlton & United Breweries) is an Australian brewing company based in Abbotsford, Melbourne, Victoria. It is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Foster’s Group. It produces many of Australia’s most successful beverages, including Australia’s most popular beer, Victoria Bitter.

Sheds vary considerably in the complexity of their construction and their size, from small open-sided tin-roofed structures to large wood-framed sheds with shingled roofs, windows, and electrical outlets.

In Australia and New Zealand the term shed can be used to refer to any building that is not a residence and which is open at the ends or sides. Australia’s passion for sheds is documented in Mark Thomson’s Blokes and Sheds.

Tooheys New Twist-Off

Tooheys New is a standard Australian lager and the most popular of the Tooheys’ beers. It can be found on tap at almost any bar in New South Wales, although it is not so common in other states. It was first brewed in 1930. It was marketed in cans and bottles as Tooheys Draught, however this was changed to Tooheys New in 1998 for consistency.

The height of the crown cap was reduced and specified in the German standard DIN 6099 in the 1960s. This also defined the “twist-off” crown cap, now widely used in the United States and Australia. This bottle cap is pressed around screw threads instead of a flange. Such a bottle cap can be taken off merely by twisting the cap.

In the United Kingdom, Ireland and some fellow Commonwealth nations knickers is a word for women’s undergarments: “Don’t get your knickers in a twist” (i.e. “don’t get all hot under the collar,” or, in U.S. usage “don’t get your panties in a bunch.” Australian usage “don’t get your knickers in a knot”).

Hello Sexy Legs, Hello Sexy Nix

Pantyhose (also called tights) are sheer, close fitting coverings of the body from the waist to the feet, most frequently worn by women. Like stockings they are usually made of nylon. The one-piece pantyhose garment appeared in the 1960s and provided a convenient alternative to stockings (nylons).

Fishing with Hahn Premium Light

[Hahn Brewery] was originally a brewer of premium beers, including Hahn Premium and Hahn Premium Light. The 1991 recession resulted in reduced demand, and forced a rethink of this policy. A more mainstream beer called Sydney Bitter was produced, with reasonable success.

Venice is world-famous for its canals. It is built on an archipelago of 122 islands formed by about 150 canals in a shallow lagoon. The islands on which the city is built are connected by about 400 bridges. In the old center, the canals serve the function of roads, and every form of transport is on water or on foot.

Hahn Beer Cannonball

Hahn Brewery was established by Dr Charles “Chuck” Hahn in 1986 at an old factory site in the suburb of Camperdown in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

[A bubble bath], less ambiguously known as a foam bath, can be obtained by adding a product containing foaming surfactants to water and temporarily aerating it by agitation (often merely by the fall of water from a faucet). The practice is popular for personal bathing because the foam insulates the bath water, keeping it warm for longer, and (as a lime soap dispersant) prevents or reduces deposits on the bath tub at and below the water level (called “bathtub ring” and soap scum, respectively) produced by soap and hard water. It can also keep the body of the bather from being visible, preserving modesty while giving the appearance that a performer who is actually clothed is tub-bathing normally. Children find foam baths particularly amusing, so they are an inducement to get them into the bathtub.
