A guy who may or may not truly be called Bert fills us in on the latest instalment of his long-running Ashes bet with some Aussie
Stuart Broad saved this man from expensive audible Australian smugness
Oh God. I’m so depressed
You’re an amateur gloater. Pros don’t explain.
Top gloating, Bert.
Will it be Australian wine, or are you likely to get something a little more civilised?
Excellent! 😀
But I wouldn’t advise having the same bet with a South African any time soon.
Good luck repaying mate;
It will be Australian wine. I like to go for my mate’s favourite wines, as this gives me the opportunity to tell him exactly what he is missing everytime I open one. As he is a Strayan, all his favourite wines are Strayan too.
I entered into this standing bet in 2002, so I’m currently losing 36-24. Only twelve bottles down – imagine saying that in 2002.
Any suggestions for great Aussie wines are most welcome (price no object, ha, ha, ha).
There is a marvellous wine from voyager estates from the margaret river.
It’s lovely
It will keep for another 20 years
It’s rather expensive
It’s named after me
Thanks for the suggestion, Price, but I might pick you up on point 2. It most certainly will not!
I meant “could”, if you so desired
I also forgot the link:

So your first name really isn’t “Half” then?
