If my ex, who is from Melbourne, is any indication, this is certainly believable. But she would most likely argue that a healthy sexual appetite was an equally defining Australian characteristic.

<sigh>

Those were the days... Wink

Whereas I spent the entire work day drinking while either playing Bocce on the front lawn or cricket in the car park, and was way too trashed yesterday to even contemplate posting about spillages.
Unfortunately now my head is sunburnt to the point that it is painful to shower.
And I lost $10 on the cup.
Though on the positive side, I ended up taking so much spare meat home that I'll be BBQing for the rest of the week Smile

(Needless to say, drunkenness is definitely a part of our company's identity. Thankfully they also provide free taxi vouchers for such occasions.)
