The beer endures

On 8 December last year I noted that a beer was just sitting on Campbell St in Ainslie waiting to be taken.

As you can see it’s the end of January and the beer is STILL THERE!

Rain has muddied it’s base and the label is starting to fade, but there it sits, untouched.

So what does it tell us about Ainslie people?

Ainslie residents ignore an abandoned VB because...

Do the right thing… and put it in the bin.

At least it’ll be at the right temperature, unlike the frozen tasteless stuff sold in some bars.

But it is VB, the colder and less “taste” the better.

I don’t want someone to be injured either by drinking a dubious bottle, or by smashing the bottle? fairly sure gobbo thinks the same.

Sort of my reasonihng peterh.

However, I mainly just get sick of no-one taking responsibility for the little things in life. If I see rubbish lying around, I will gather it whilst on my travels and put it in an appropriate bin when I get to one.

I know there aren’t that many of my type about. I am hoping for a 100th monkey effect to occur one day. 🙂

Give that beer heritage status.

Perhaps someone in Ainslie could consider picking the rubbish up in their street and putting it in the bin?

It is quite easy to put the lid back on a beer bottle in a convincing manner. Many people have noted this, and thus aren’t interested in that bottle because it’s bound to contain something un-beer-like.

i think you are living in the wrong city. Adelaide has pubs that cater for the discerning english palate…

Wonder how long a white russian would last in Ainslie?
If it was Sharapova sitting on Campbell St, I reckon she’d be picked up quicker than this bottle of VB.

How can you be sure it’s actually the original beer and that someone hasn’t refilled it with P155?

Being VB, it’ll probably taste better now after being exposed to heat and sun for over a month.

Were both your arms broken both times you passed the beer, johnboy?

Me? I’d have collected it and consigned it to the nearest bin the first time on seeing it.

It’s VB. ’nuff said.

Move it to Charny. Then see how long it lasts.

wouldn’t get drunk. smashed maybe, but the threat of 10-80 poisoning is enough to keep anyone away. might be filled with yellow frothy liquid as well. Not amber.

Move it to Charny. Then see how long it lasts.

Actually, that is one of the few wild beer trees in all of Canberra. It fruits every day, however normally someone harvests it on the way to work…
