Near neighbours are fucken partying again with dubious tinny-sounding "music" and tasteless inebriated squealing. Reason for celebration: it's Australia Day, which I maintain, should be held on the 8th of May.
As in May 8, pronounced "maate."
@matigo I haven't had good fish 'n' chips for about 8 hours……

Colonel Thomas Davey, Lieutenant Governor of the colony of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) from 1813 to 1817 invented a cocktail called Blow My Skull. It consisted of two pints of boiling water, a pint of rum & ½ a pint of brandy.
David Hunt, in "True Girt," the Unauthorised History Of Australia, Volume two, writes: "Davey would drink anything, as long as it had been brewed, distilled, fermented or drained from the bladder of a hobo sleeping rough outside an unguarded methylated spirits factory."
He also writes: "The twin gods of Inebriation & Irony had smiled on Thomas his entire life, as he was born to a woman named Temperance Wynes."

I suspect this brew http://www.cocktailsoftheworld.com/cocktails-overview/cocktails-by-country/australia/cocktail/diamantina.html could be the Aussie equivalent of an eggnog.
