Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Just another idiot doubling down on delusion.

What type of Whiskey?

Is this a rhetorical question?

 

[DERO]

the xpa is a very nice drop

Is it not Doss getting a blockage removed?

wasn't Coopers the ones that ran a particularly tone-deaf ad during the SSM plebiscite, and nearly ended the company overnight.

That's a gentle way of describing the ad. They aligned themselves pretty clearly with straight up bible bashing bigots and copped a fair bit (probably still less than they deserved) of backlash for it

 

[BrunoV]

Heaven forbid that anyone dares to hold a view that doesn't conform to the religion of secularism/scientism.

It's a tremendously ironic view of the world.

 

[madrigal]

It's a tremulously ironic view of the world.

What is ironic or tremulous about the world view?

diplomatic is how i'd describe it

this thread has been derailed enough already

This is interesting and explains a lot.

The XPA is just too much and its almost like the hops hasn't had a chance to react with the beer. The hops in the XPA and even diluted as it is in the Pacific grates.

They did, however, nail this: Liquorland | Buy Beer, Wine, Spirits & Ciders at Great Prices

They should rebrand the XPA as the Australian IPA with the purple label. It's everything I expected when I tried to think what green/coopers would task like as an IPA.

Interesting that you don’t like the XPA but did like the IPA - a lot of the feedback was that people didn’t like it for the same reasons they weren’t into the XPA, ie it was too yeasty, soapy, unbalanced, and generally just suffered from very poor use of hops.

It was only released as a one off so they could test the response and the market’s appetite for it but they learned that Coopers drinkers don’t really want an IPA, and IPA drinkers don’t really want Coopers’ version of an IPA.

You seem to know a lot about their beers. Given your username I thought you might prefer cheap wine.

I’ve been trying to tell Jimmy for years that ‘cheap wine and a three legged goat’ is a way better and more intriguing lyric but he’s not interested

There will be a video in the news of one of the players dancing on a table with a gram bag of white powder tomorrow, and Kane Cornes saying I told you so.

Tbh I’d be disappointed if it was only a gram bag. Sad to see the boys party about as hard as they play

What is ironic or tremulous about the world view?

The way blind faith is placed in secular/scientific causes by a society that believes it has transcended religion.


My one hope that the machines are a long way from taking over is how useless auto correct is.

I suppose that XPA is characteristically Coopers which is why I think it doesn't work. It's too much.

I thought the IPA was a really well balanced Indian pale ale with a Coopers twist, exactly what I thought the XPA would be.

Aren't the players going to Spain for a wedding or is that just the cover story?

I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure they are going for dev smiths wedding. I remember stringer mentioning it during dev’s retirement video.

Would explain why so many are going and you can’t knock them for attending a good mates wedding whether it be overseas or not. Geez they’re allowed some time to unwind after a terrible year.

Just better come to work come pre season!

Yeah... nah.

It was literally a gay MP (Tim Wilson) and a Christian MP (Andrew Hastie) debating the plebiscite in a pretty tame fashion. The backlash was over the top, to be honest.

It really was a microcosm of the fact Australia is somehow no longer mature enough to debate opposing view amicably.

 

[DapperDon]

I'm guessing everyone is now around 7 pints in if religion and politics is now the discussion point.

 

[Corleone]

Plebiscites ... Secularism... Alright, that'll do me. All the best moving forwards guys.

I drink cocaine up my nose, we got a coach yet or what ?

Would rather have Hird as coach than drink another of those and I generally like every stout that isn’t a milk stout.

Lol, heaven does forbid it. It’s just that heaven doesn’t exist.

nicely timed on topic post

back to Essendon then.

 

[Mercurial89]

I'm unsure whether I want to give these "senior players" too much or any say.

Guess it depends if it's the same senior players that refuse to work both ways.

But I do agree with the coach they are asking for and for the reasons so, I guess that's improvement.
