If you can't swing it, you can't swing it. No regrets, Dave, you love your JG 330, end of story! Funny, I will have the mirror image of this, MG 330 and JG 360. Just awesome guitars, they are ... |

I usually only have one 'beeyah' at a time (slab, that is!!). If you don't know what a 'slab' is, it's 24 cans (arranged 4x6) placed on a corrugated cardboard sheet and then shrink-wrapped. I can fit precisely 25 of them (unbroken) in the boot (trunk) of my car!!
Wonder how may cartons of Bud I could cram in there! |

Don't ask me why, Howard, but 'slab' is only used here to refer to meat or granite...I can see we'll have to start a beer thread now. I used to drink nothing but decade-old frozen-and-thawed Bud in cans when I worked 'all the way down under'...couldn't wait to get to NZ for fresh beer that tasted like something. One year, right after getting off the ice, I went down to the military vet's bar in Cathedral Square in Christchurch. Hung out with the 'blokes' at the bar, and they 'shouted' me the first several rounds. I knew it was my turn to return the gesture and spoke up, at which point they all whirled towards the bartender and yelled "Budweiser", and out came the imported cans...I paid like $6 US apiece for them damn things! The pitiful irony of it all...serves me right for being a 'Yank', I s'pose... |

In Canada, a cardboard "case" of 24 bottles of beer is affectionately known as a "two-four". I guess it's too cold here for us to be creative! |

And, sometimes, you get a gift inside every "two-four", like a coolie or a t-shirt or something! ahh....Labatt & Molson. |

Some makes of beer also come in boxes of 30 cans called a 'block'.
'I'll be home soon, honey...... just down the block with the boys having a beer or two'!
Reminds me of a mate who went down the street one night for a packet of Stuyvos and came back 18 months later...... true!!! |
